As easy and simple as snap and hear!

Like nothing ever before in the App Store... take a picture; any picture, and our application will read out loud the text inside of the image for you!

The picture can be read from a new picture, an existing one from your photo library or from an existing URL. The possibilities are endless!

This application is perfect also for visually handicapped people. Imagine some doesnt read that well? Perhaps they can take a picture and the device will read the contents of the ad? Or imagine a person that doesnt read well yet.

Imagine seeing a sign while on the road with important information such as telephone numbers, addresses or names: just take a picture of it and the software will not only decipher by itself what it says, but it will also read it out loud for you! No effort required! We are sure you can think of many more uses for this application, since the possibilities are as limited as you want them to be!

Our application works with text to speech routines in order to read the contents of any picture. To recognize the text in the picture we use OCR technology.

Accuracy of the reading depends on the quality of the picture; for best results try to always use clear images.

We have other applications, including similar ones to this one; make sure to check them out since we are always looking for ways to simplify our already hectic life!
Also, we are constantly working on this and more applications; please feel free to share with us any ideas or suggestions you may have.
