Texie
Texie version 1.1 is available for update/download today, Oct 12, 2017
Texie is an AI assisted reader using the new iOS11 Vision Framework. Point your camera at printed text, signs, labels, & handwritten notes, and Texie will recognize (OCR) and read it out aloud within seconds. Texie runs in a continuous video stream, and beeps when it detects text.
Why is Texie so powerful? Texie uses a new online cloud based OCR service harnessing the processing power of a vast network of servers, that use high end machine learning algorithms that continuously learn to produce optimal results. Texie excels at reading fine print or signs from a distance.
