Hello!

I'm begging you DO NOT GET AIPOLY VISION!! I have heard of it, and downloaded it a week or so ago and it crashed on me every time I tried it! Are you talking about the one with the free tier and then the subscription? Because that's the one I'm talking about! I looked at reviews after and seen multiple reports of crashes. I'm not sure of real-time text apps, but I can tell you some OCR. apps )OCR Converts Photos Into Text, Seeing Ai. etc).

They may have come out with a knew version for Aipoly, and in that case I might be tempted to give it another shot. Personally, I'd wait a few months and see if things improve.

Hi Sabrina,

Depending on where you live, Seeing AI is currently your best bet. It does real-time text recognition, and as long as you have a steady hand, it works pretty well. You might also keep an eye on Envision, which is available everywhere. It doesn't have real time yet, but it's a feature being worked on. The developer is quite active on this forum.

Hi Remy! Are you jalking about Envision Eli? Because I searched for Envision in the app store, and got no results. I'd at least like to look at it and if it's free, I might give it a try.

But in this case, no joke. It's called Envision AI. Search for Envision and it should come up. You might also check Seeing AI, which really does have real-time text recognition. Envision isn't quite there yet, but it will be.

Hi Sabrina, I agree with poster Remy. The Seeing AI is pretty good but not perfect. I even tried that new app called Texi and it may be operator error, but I couldn't get it to read a document. So got rid of it. Seeing AI isn't perfect but it reads enough and starts reading fast so you'll get some idea of what something is.
