Smartphone app helps the visually impaired ‘see’ — Aipoly

Aipoly, an app created by an American startup born out of the Singularity University in California, helps the blind, visually impaired and color blind recognize their surroundings via a smartphone. All users have to do is take a picture of an object in front of them, which is then analyzed and tagged by the app before being read back to them through text-to-speech technology. Alberto Rizzoli, Aipoly’s co-founder, explains how the app is letting people ‘see’ the world around them
