Built with guidance from the blind and low-vision community, Lookout supports Google’s mission to make the world’s information universally accessible to everyone.
Lookout has six modes for a variety of activities:
• NEW: Use Images mode to describe the contents of an image. The new Image Q&A feature offers AI-powered descriptions of images (available in English only) plus the ability to ask questions via voice and text (available in US, UK and Canada only).
• Use Text mode to quickly skim text and hear it read aloud — for doing things like sorting mail and reading signs.
• Use Food labels mode to quickly identify packaged foods by their label, in addition to scanning barcodes. Available in more than 20 countries.
• Capture a whole page of text or handwriting with Documents mode.
• Use Currency mode to identify banknotes quickly and reliably, with support for US Dollars, Euros, and Indian Rupees.
• Explore mode (beta) offers information about your surroundings by identifying objects and people and reading signs.
Lookout is available in more than 20 languages, and runs on devices with Android 6 and above. Devices with 2GB or more RAM are recommended.
