Description

Aipoly functioned as a real-time vision AI assistant designed specifically for the blind and visually impaired community. Utilizing a smartphone's camera and processing power, the application could identify common objects, various food items including raw ingredients, different species of plants and animals, and numerous colors directly, without needing an internet connection. It also featured text reading capabilities, supporting multiple languages and alphabets.

Developed in 2015, Aipoly aimed to translate the visual world into audible descriptions, enhancing independence for its users. It processed billions of images and learned continuously through user contributions, expanding its recognition library. While Aipoly exited as a standalone product in 2018, its underlying technology has influenced subsequent assistive tools.
