Personal Captions MVP

Never miss what's being said. Personal captions work for:

  • Phone calls with real-time transcription
  • Podcasts and audio with automatic captions
  • Videos on your device
  • Live conversations using device microphone
  • Privacy controls to manage when captions are active

All processing happens on-device when possible to protect your privacy. Captions are clear, accurate, and easy to read.

Haptic Wayfinding

Navigate confidently with vibration patterns that guide you:

  • Turn-by-turn guidance using phone vibration
  • Indoor navigation for buildings and campuses
  • Outdoor navigation for streets and transit
  • Landmark identification with haptic feedback
  • Offline support for areas without internet

Haptic feedback enhances spatial knowledge for both blind and low vision users, as well as people on the autism spectrum who benefit from tactile guidance.

Visual Helper

Read labels, identify objects, and understand your environment:

  • Text recognition with clear voice readout
  • Object identification for items and products
  • Color detection for clothing and items
  • Currency recognition for bills and coins
  • Document scanning with text extraction

The visual helper uses your phone's camera to identify and describe what you're looking at, making daily tasks like shopping and reading easier.
