There will be a paid for version available if you want to get rid of the adverts. It is currently free to use but comes with advertisements included.

The developers hope that it will be available on iOS devices in the future. This app is still in beta mode and is only available now on Android devices. The expiry date function was successful in reading 3 out of 5 random items from my fridge, but the developers say that this function is experimental, and the app will not read out expiry dates if it feels the writing isn’t clear or enough to give an accurate reading. The app seemed to work well with most functions using Talkback however there were a few small glitches that needed debugging however the app is still in beta phase and I assume any difficulties will be resolved during this phase. The mask detection function also works well.

The “Find Text” function also works really well, and the phone gives a really clear vibration and audible alarm when the word or words you are looking for is on the screen. as well as being read out, the text is displayed clearly in high contrast on the screen. The document reader is good it scans text incredibly fast and is very accurate. The buttons take up minimal space at the top of the screen and these are easily accessed by swiping left or right on the screen. Like many other text reading apps, once opened it uses the phones camera to recognise and read out text and other things in the environment. This is one of the clearest and fastest text reading apps around.
