- A medication label

- The bills in your wallet
It reads them out loud, and you can ask follow-ups in your own words until you have what you need.
Why Scout exists
The problem.
Most of the physical world was never built to describe itself. A medication label, a menu, a sign down the hall, the bills in your wallet. Sighted people glance and know. If you cannot see them, you are stuck asking somebody, or guessing, or walking away without the thing you came for.
What Scout does about it.
Point your phone at it. Scout describes what it sees right away, and you can ask in your own words to dig in: what does the warning label say, what color is this shirt, how much money is on the table. Follow-ups carry, so you can keep asking about the same thing until you have what you need.
The everyday stuff that stops being a problem
Reading a label. Counting your change. Picking out the right pill. Things that take a sighted person two seconds and everyone else a phone call or a stranger's help.
Cash you cannot tell apart
Lay the bills down and ask what they are, or how much is on the table.
Pills you cannot identify
Point at the organizer or the packet and ask Scout to read the writing on it.
Menus you cannot read
Scout reads the sections back, and you can ask it to go through just the sandwiches, or just the prices.
Signs you cannot make out
Street signs, room numbers, the notice taped to a door. Point and ask.
Try Scout on whatever's in front of you
