Audio Descript: Live AI-Powered Visual Assistance
Audio Descript empowers individuals who are blind or low vision with immediate, on-demand information about their surroundings using AI.
We are excited to feature Audio Descript, an innovative web-based application designed to bridge the gap between the visual and auditory worlds. By providing real-time, continuous audio descriptions through a device's camera, it empowers individuals who are blind or low vision with immediate environmental awareness.
How It Works
Users simply point their smartphone, tablet, or computer camera at their surroundings. The app uses a Multi-Model AI Backend to process the live video feed and narrate what it 'sees'—identifying objects, reading text, and describing scenes in real-time.
Interactive Q&A
Beyond passive narration, Audio Descript allows users to ask specific follow-up questions. You can point your camera and ask, 'What color is this label?' or 'Is the path ahead clear?' to receive instant, context-aware answers.
Available Now
Designed to offer greater independence in daily activities like shopping or navigating unfamiliar spaces, Audio Descript is currently available as a web app at audiodescript.com, with native iOS and Android apps in development.
