This photo is then processed and spoken out as paragraphs. You can scroll through paragraphs to read at your own pace. This feature is ideal for reading official documents, letters, menu cards, and more.
Read short pieces of text around you instantly. This feature uses a video feed to detect text in front of the camera and speaks it out. It works without the internet for Latin-based scripts and with the internet for all other scripts. This feature is ideal for reading short pieces of text as found in room numbers, signs, book covers, etc.
Read multiple pages of text in one sitting. This feature allows you to scan multiple images consecutively. This is then processed and spoken out as paragraphs and pages that you can scroll through at your own pace. This feature could be used for reading multi-page documents such as magazines and books.
Read all kinds of handwritten text. This feature is built into the Scan Text feature, so follow the same steps and it will automatically recognise the handwritten text as well. You can use this to read handwritten notes or greeting cards that you might receive.
Save and read files locally in one place in the Envision app. You can save the text files of documents that you scan or import existing documents from other apps to read them within Envision. This is useful when you wish to save and read certain documents again.

Export any text you scan directly to your phone. Once you have processed a picture using Scan Text, you can export that text to the Envision Library within the Envision App on your phone. This exported text can be saved for reading later or for sharing with others. This feature is ideal for saving and sharing interesting stories or food recipes that you read.
Listen to a piece of text being spoken out in the correct language and voice. This option can be turned on within Scan Text and Batch Scan if you're reading text that could be in a different language than your system language. If the same piece of document has multiple languages, the voice will automatically switch between paragraphs. Use this if you come across multi-lingual documents or when you're travelling abroad.

Video call a friend or family and have them see what you're seeing through the camera. You can add a list of your close friends and family members as an Ally through the Envision app. The friends and family can then receive the video call through a free companion app called Envision Ally, just as they would receive a FaceTime or WhatsApp call. This is ideal for situations where the AI functions are not entirely helpful, like venturing into a new location or shopping at a mall.
Get a simple description of the scene in front of you. This feature works by taking a photo, which is then processed and the description is spoken out.

You can use this to determine whether you're in a dark room or to find out if screen of your electronic devices are on.
Scan barcodes of products to know their descriptions. Move your phone around to look for the product barcode. A beeping tone helps you position the product correctly in front of the camera.
