PathSense - Blind Navigation

Hear what is in front of you.

PathSense is a scene narrator for blind and low-vision users. Point your phone ahead and it tells you how far the nearest obstacle is, reads text out loud and describes your surroundings. Everything runs on the phone: no internet, no account, nothing leaves the device.

OBSTACLES
• Distance to the nearest obstacle, split into left, center and right
• Vibration pulses get faster as you get closer; a distinct pattern when something is very close
• Optional sound cues, adjustable alert distance (1–5 m / 3–16 ft), brief or detailed announcements
• Uses the 3D sensor on Pro-model phones; other devices get an approximate estimate

TEXT
• Hold the phone up to a sign, a door plate, a menu or a page and the text is read aloud
• New text is read automatically as it appears; double-tap the screen to read right now
• Recognizes many scripts on device, including Latin, Korean, Japanese, Chinese and Devanagari

PRO (one-time purchase)
• Document reader: capture a page, read it line by line, copy or share it
• Scene narrator: doors, stairs, people, vehicles, furniture and places around you
• Reading history saved on the device

BUILT FOR SCREEN READERS
• Works with VoiceOver and TalkBack; every control is labeled and at least 64 pt tall
• Speaks in 14 languages; high-contrast dark interface for low vision
• Keeps the screen awake while guiding

100% ON DEVICE

SAFETY
PathSense is an aid, not a replacement for a white cane, a guide dog or mobility training. Distances, text and descriptions can be wrong; never rely on the app alone in hazardous situations.
