>> Document
>>

>>

>> they are, and their facial expressions.
>> 
>> If you’ve taught the app to recognize a particular person, their name will 
>> be announced when they come into view. You can teach Seeing AI to recognize 
>> someone by selecting Face Recognition in the menu.
>> 
>> Seeing AI will also tell you the position of each face it detects, which can

>>

>> 
>>  Play the video tutorial
>> 
>> Teaching Seeing AI to Recognize Someone
>> 
>> When using the Person channel, Face Recognition can tell you who is near 
>> you. Instead of hearing, “One face near center, 4 feet away” you’ll hear 
>> their name: “John near center, 4 feet away”.
>> 
>> It’s recommended that you ask people for permission before you train Seeing 
>> AI to recognize them. To teach Seeing AI to recognize a person’s face, open 
>> Face Recognition in the menu. Take three photos of the person and enter 
>> their name. We suggest asking them to take the photos of themselves.
>> 
>> By default, the front-facing camera is active when using Face Recognition. 
>> If you're taking photos of someone else, switch to the back-facing camera.

>> Currency (preview)

>> 
>> Hold the camera over a single note to hear the estimated value.
>> 
>> Use the button on the main screen to select which currency should be

>> listed — more will be added over time.
>> 
>> Please note: Seeing AI will not differentiate between real and counterfeit

>> 
>> Color (preview)
>> 
>> Use this channel to hear the perceived color of objects.
>> 
>> Note that this may depend on several factors — colors appear darker when 
>> there is less light, or if the object is in shadow; a white surface may 
>> appear slightly yellowish when the lights are on.
>> 
>> Handwriting (preview)
>> 
>> This experimental channel allows you to recognize handwritten text.
>> 
>> Note that this channel requires the text to be the right way up.
>> 
>> Recognition accuracy will vary based on handwriting style, which can vary 
>> greatly from individual to individual. Please send us your feedback to help 
>> us improve it.
>> 
>> Light
>> 
>> Use this channel to detect the amount of light around you. The pitch of the 
>> tone is based on how much light your phone sees. The more light there is, 
>> the higher the pitch of the tone.
>> 
>> Use Seeing AI With Other Apps
>> 
>> Seeing AI can also recognize and describe photos from other apps like Mail, 
>> Photos, and Twitter. Just share the photo and select "Recognize with Seeing 
>> AI" from the list of actions.
>> 
>> The first time you do this, you will have to enable this option by tapping 
>> on “More” in the bottom-right corner, and enabling Seeing AI.
>> 
>>  Play the video tutorial
>> 
>> Tips & Tricks
>> 
>> The larger the object, the further away you will need to be. The closer you 
>> are, the higher the quality.
>> The camera is located on the back of the phone, on the top-right when the 
>> screen is towards you. For best results, keep the camera in the center of 
>> the object being captured.
>> Seeing AI works best in a well-lit environment. It will automatically turn 
>> on the flash if needed.
>> You can pause the live guidance by using the pause button on the main 
>> screen. Note, however, that the camera is still running, and thus using 
>> battery. Lock your phone if you won’t be using the app for an extended 
>> period.
>> You can change the voice, and how fast it speaks, within settings. If using 
>> Voice Over, use the Accessibility section in the main Settings app.
