An app that reads text aloud
Point your phone at text and Ariadne Sense reads it aloud: a letter, label, medication leaflet, menu or document.
What it reads
The app takes a high-resolution photo and a precise AI model in the cloud transcribes the text word for word, in its original language and spelling. You can ask for everything or just one part, such as only the label on a jar, and then ask about the content, such as the due date on a bill. Each reading is charged to your balance.
It's real help with everyday matters: mail, bills, instructions and anywhere small print matters.
Examples
- Letters and official mail
- Product labels and expiry dates
- Leaflets and medication dosages
- Restaurant menus
- Signs and labels
Convenient
The assistant reads the text aloud exactly as it is written. You don't have to take photos or save anything. Just point the camera and ask.
Frequently asked questions
What text can Ariadne Sense read?
Letters and official mail, bills, medication leaflets and packaging, product labels with expiry dates, menus, signs, and text on screens. Just point the camera and ask it to read.
Can I ask for just part of the text?
Yes. Say, for example, “read only the label on the jar” or “what is the expiry date”. You can also ask about the content, such as the due date on a bill.
Does the app read text in other languages?
Yes. The text is read exactly as it is written, in the language it is printed in. The app does not translate or summarize it.
How much does reading text cost?
Each reading is charged to your balance, because the text is transcribed by an AI model in the cloud. Vibration and the flashlight are free.
What if the text is not legible?
The assistant tells you it found no legible text and suggests pointing the camera straight at the text from closer.
