Supersense

Supersense is a revolutionary AI-driven application developed to empower blind and visually impaired individuals by providing them with a powerful set of tools to perceive and interact with their surroundings. Available on both iOS and Android, Supersense leverages advanced computer vision and unique AI technology through a super-accessible user interface. It transforms a smartphone into an intelligent assistant that can see, read, and describe the world, significantly enhancing independence and daily life.

The app is designed from the ground up with simplicity in mind, ensuring that users do not need to be tech-savvy to benefit from its features. It provides verbal guidance to help users correctly position their camera, and its intelligent modes automatically adapt to the task at hand, whether it's reading a quick label or a multi-page document.

How to use Supersense

Using Supersense is designed to be an intuitive experience. Simply open the app and point your smartphone's camera at what you want to identify or read. The app provides real-time verbal instructions to help you aim the camera for the best possible angle and focus. For general scanning, the 'Smart Scanner' mode automatically detects whether you are pointing at short text, a long document, a banknote, or a barcode, and switches to the appropriate function. You can also manually select specific modes like 'Document', 'Currency', or 'Explore' from the simple menu. Information is then read aloud instantly. Additionally, you can import images from other applications like WhatsApp or Facebook, and Supersense will analyze and read the text within them.

Core Features of Supersense

• Smart Scanner: An all-in-one mode that automatically identifies and processes short text, documents, currency, and barcodes without needing manual switching.
• Document & Multi-Page Scanner: Read long-form text from letters, books, or articles with smart guidance. It supports scanning multiple pages in a single session and allows navigation through the text using VoiceOver commands.

It can also detect people and check if they are wearing face masks to help with social distancing.
• Import from Other Apps: Read text from images shared via other applications like Facebook, Twitter, or WhatsApp.
