In one volume Technology writer Judy Dixon takes the reader on an app tour of the 10 most user-friendly and accessible apps for getting visual assistance with an iPhone. Coverage includes assistance provided by apps through machine learning and artificial intelligence for identifying colors, currency, objects, and barcodes, as well as scene identification, handwriting recognition, and reading short text. Also covered is getting assistance from sighted humans through apps such as AIRA and Be My Eyes. She also briefly discusses the nature of help itself and how there are as many opinions on using sighted assistance as there are individuals. If you are considering using apps like these to save yourself time or add convenience to otherwise inconvenient tasks, this book will help you choose the ones right for you.
