LiveSight: Blind & Low Vision

LiveSight is a live voice and camera assistant for blind and low-vision people. Point the phone, listen, and this talking camera tells you what is ahead: obstacles by clock direction and distance, traffic light color, package expiration dates, clothing colors, or a spoken description of the room around you.

FIVE MODES
- Navigate: obstacles, doors, steps and paths ahead, by clock direction and approximate distance. It warns about what is ahead; it does not give turn-by-turn routes.
- Traffic: says the color of the traffic light it sees. It never tells you that it is safe to cross.
- Expiration: reads the printed date and says whether it has expired, expires soon or has not expired.
- Colors: says the colors of clothes and objects.
- Explore: describes the room, signs and objects around you.

MADE FOR VOICE AND TOUCH
- Large controls, voice commands and haptic feedback.
- The assistant can answer in 8 languages; the app's own screens are in English.
- Compass, weather and battery level on request.

SAFETY TOOLS
- Emergency SOS: hold the SOS button for 3 seconds to start a 10-second countdown with a large Cancel button. If you do not cancel, LiveSight prepares a text with your location in your Messages app for your emergency contact. Nothing is sent until you tap Send.
- Fall check (optional, off by default): after a hard fall during a session, LiveSight asks "Are you okay?".
- Journal: what LiveSight announced, kept on your phone for 90 days, with share and export.

YOUR OWN GOOGLE AI STUDIO KEY
The live assistant runs on Google's Gemini with an API key you create yourself in Google AI Studio. A step-by-step guide is built into the app. Google sets the usage limits for your key and bills any paid use to you directly; LiveSight has no purchases, no ads and no account. You can choose "Look around first" to try every screen before you add a key.

WHAT IS SENT, AND WHEN
- Only during a live session you start, and only after you agree to the in-app AI-sharing question: camera pictures (about two per second), microphone audio and your location are sent directly from your phone to Google Gemini. LiveSight has no server in between.
- If you allow location, your coordinates go to Open-Meteo once per launch for local weather.
- If you report an AI response, the reported text, the reason and your note are sent to us for review. Reports never include pictures, audio, location, your key or contacts.
- Everything else (key, settings, contacts, Journal) stays on your phone and can be deleted in Settings > Privacy.

IMPORTANT
LiveSight is an aid. It is not a replacement for a cane, a guide dog or your own judgment, and it is not a medical device. Always confirm with your usual cues before crossing a road.
