We're building an AI-powered vision system for blind people like me -> Your valuable support will help us make a difference.

We're doing this through a mobile device and custom smart eyeglasses, along with an app that we're creating called SmartVision -> We hope you'll share our common goal to make this happen.

Let's provide real world solutions to some of the planet's most trivial problems -> With the SmartVision app, we can empower more persons with disabilities, and even everybody else, through these features:

DESCRIBE WHAT I SEE - AI Visual Recognition Engine

Know what's happening around you at any moment - Convert real time videos into readable, navigable text descriptions. Use the built-in camera of the eyeglasses to process what it sees ...

Access your device remotely - Read generated text with VoiceOver or TalkBack through a built-in earphone. Manipulate, copy and paste generated text across any app in your mobile device ...

Control SmartVision and the eyeglasses, hands-free - Issue voice commands through an integrated microphone. Perform gestures through equipped sensors ...

DESCRIBE PICTURE - AI Image Recognition

Summon descriptive details for any image - Convert real time images into readable, navigable text descriptions. Read generated text with VoiceOver or TalkBack. Manipulate, copy and paste generated text across any app in your mobile device ...

Perform voice commands or gestures to use the camera and process images in front of you - You'll even be told how to properly focus the camera. SmartVision will also process any image in any app of your mobile device ...

READ GRAPHIC TEXT - AI Image to Text

AI-powered OCR on demand - Convert real time graphic text into readable, navigable text. Read generated text with VoiceOver or TalkBack. Manipulate, copy and paste generated text across any app in your mobile device ...

Through voice commands or gestures - Use the camera to process graphic text in front of you. You'll even be told how to properly focus the camera. SmartVision will also process any graphic text in any other app of your mobile device ...

WRITE WHAT I SAY - AI Speech to Text

Transcribe your thoughts on the fly - Convert real time speech into readable, navigable text. Read generated text with VoiceOver or TalkBack. Manipulate, copy and paste generated text across any app in your mobile device ...

With voice commands or gestures - Use the built-in microphone of the eyeglasses. SmartVision will transcribe your natural voice into text ...

TRANSLATE WHAT I SAY - Speech to Translated Text

Translate your thoughts into the language that you want - Convert real time speech into readable, navigable text translations. Read generated text with VoiceOver or TalkBack. Manipulate, copy and paste translated text across any app in your mobile device ...

Perform voice commands or gestures to use the built-in microphone of the eyeglasses - SmartVision will transcribe your natural voice into text, translated to your chosen language ...

TRANSLATE SELECTED TEXT - AI Text Translation

Translate chosen text into the language that you want as readable, navigable text - Select text in any app of your mobile device. Read translated text with VoiceOver or TalkBack. Manipulate, copy and paste text across any app in your mobile device ...

Hand out voice commands or gestures - SmartVision will carry out your bidding ...

WRITE WHAT I HEAR - Audio to Text

Transcribe speech of audio content in your mobile device on the fly - Convert real time audio playback into readable, navigable text. Read generated text with VoiceOver or TalkBack ...

SmartVision will transcribe the speech in your audio content into text - Manipulate, copy and paste generated text across any app in your mobile device ...

TRANSLATE WHAT I HEAR - Audio to Text Translation

SmartVision will transcribe the speech in your audio content into text, translated in your chosen language - Manipulate, copy and paste generated text across any app in your mobile device ...

ENABLE LABELER - Community Guided AI Learning

Customize your experience - Label persons, animals, objects, places, actions, colors and occasions with private names, accessible only to you. Contribute to the improvement of the AI neural network through your manual public labels without giving access to any of your private content ...

With the money raised - I'll be able to continue paying a small team of developers to help me complete a fully functional and testable prototype for the next 2 to 3 months.

My goal is to release a finalized version to the general public through the Apple App Store and Google Play by May or June this year ...

Any money left over will be put in a fund towards supporting other blind persons who can't purchase a mobile device and the custom smart eyeglasses, and for creating SmartVision updates that can benefit others with different disabilities ...

By accomplishing this, we can empower blind people and those with other disabilities to reach their fullest potential.

Thanks for your time ...

  • Hey Marx! Your story is truly inspiring! Really shows how having no vision didn't stop you from learning to code and starting a business. It reframed how I think about the problems and fears I encounter everyday as founder. For that I thank you, JP Orbitrr.com
