using Envision's award-winning AI technology to turn visual information into speech.

official documents, letters, street signs, handwritten cards, magazines, books and more. To
read it later, you can export the text to have it saved offline in your Envision App.

the camera on the Envision Glasses with the free Envision Ally App.
