I’m quite enjoying the new Ally app from Envision. Being able to customise the AI is interesting, although the iOS app doesn’t seem to have all that many voices yet.
It’s very good at reading digital displays which other apps sometimes struggle with, but it’s not perfect. I was using it to check shopping items and it misidentified a couple of things. Still, it’s not bad and reasonably fast, although not as good as the Meta Rayban’s Look and Tell feature. Still since Meta have withdrawn that in the UK, Ally is a decent enough alternative.

@BlindGordon Yes true, the @letsenvision ally app production version has not so many voices (yet) the beta had. But I suppose they need a subscription model. I am sure it is going to be there soon enough. Btw, I am having good experiences of assistance and HIV advocacy - https://www.letsenvision.com/blog/ally-ai-hiv-stigma
@talksina @letsenvision That’s a great story. Well done. AI has its flaws, but it can be a powerful tool when used with imagination.
@BlindGordon @letsenvision It can be used for enhancing creativity as well, if AI tools are used as aids to help us, and not for the illusion to create content for us. And yes, I have used that expression on purpose, given the character my Envision Ally impersonates. Not my fault if plural of aid is aids
