Karen, It is free. Here is the full name and link: Here is the full description from the app store. Apparently only English is supported if I'm reading the last part of the description correctly.
Description: Seeing AI is a free app that narrates the world around you. Designed for the blind and low vision community, this ongoing research project harnesses the power of AI to open up the visual world and describe nearby people, text, and objects. Optimized for use with VoiceOver, the app enables you to recognize: • Short Text - Speaks text as soon as it appears in front of the camera. • Documents - Provides audio guidance to capture a printed page, and recognizes the text, along with its original formatting. • Products - Scans barcodes, using audio beeps to guide you; hear the name, and package information when available. (works with iPhone 6 and later) • People - Saves people’s faces so you can recognize them, and get an estimate of their age, gender, and emotions. • Scenes (early preview) - Hear an overall description of the scene captured. • Images in other apps - Just tap “Share” and “Recognize with Seeing AI” to describe images from Mail, Photos, Twitter, and more. Seeing AI is built to help you achieve more by leveraging the power of the cloud and artificial intelligence. As the research progresses, more channels may be added. Visit http://SeeingAI.com for more details and instructional videos. Available in the U.S., Canada, India, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Singapore. Coming soon to more countries. Languages supported – English Supported on iPhone 5C, 5S and later; best performance with iPhone 6S and later models. Questions, feedback or feature requests?

He stated later that he had figured out what he was doing wrong, and is much more positive about the app. I would gladly pay for this app just for the document scanning, not to mention the bar code scanning which gives just about as good a results as the ID Mate which costs $1299.

Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: Evan Reese To: viphone@googlegroups.com<mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> Sent: Thursday, July 13, 2017 1:41 PM Subject: Seeing AI Not Really Overwhelmed Hi, I got the app earlier this afternoon, and tried out most of the functions on my iPad Mini 4 with 128GB of memory. I can’t say I’m as impressed as some others here. I guess I’ll start with the negatives first and end on a positive note. First, like so many other people, I tried the Person item at least half a dozen times, both with myself and my girlfriend as the person and got the No People message. Not being sure which camera was being used, I turned the tablet around a few times so that each camera was facing me but with no success. Second, I tried the bar code reader. I tried at least seven or eight boxes and packages on it. It got one item. Some of the rest it didn’t beep at all; and a few, it did beep faster and faster as I got closer to the bar code, but then it stopped beeping a few inches from the package and said nothing. I’d starve if I had to rely on that for my meals! <smile. I will mention here that, my still favorite app for looking at things, Tap Tap See identified every item of food I put in front of it, including those I couldn’t identify with Seeing AI’s Product feature. Definitely not starve with that! Third, the Scene Beta said something like Seems to be indoor. (Yes, it did say indoor. Once again, taking a picture in the exact same location with Tap Tap See revealed my white kitchen cabinets that I was aiming the camera at. Fourth, moderately positive, I tried the Short Text function with pretty good results. It read some addresses of paper mail with moderate accuracy. It switched me to the Documents function when I tried the back cover of a book with it. However, I only got snippets of text, mostly gibberish, when I aimed it at my laptop screen. Fifth and finally, the really positive. I am impressed with the Document function. I like how it guides you until the entire page with all its edges is visible. And, as someone else here has shown, the OCR is quite good. I tried it with mail and a few back covers of books and got great results overall. I tried it with my laptop screen as well but got no text. I like the context sensitive Quick Help that you can get for each feature that tells you briefly how to use it. Some of this stuff may just require more practice. I might be able to get better results with the Product feature with more of that. I needed a bit of that in aiming the camera when I first got Tap Tap See because I kept forgetting that the camera is in the upper righthand corner of my iPad Mini and not at the center. But some of this is still bugs that need to be worked out I think. So not really overwhelmed. For a while at least, for looking at stuff, except for text, Tap Tap See is still the clearly better app. Evan -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
