The Lighthouse Guild provides a tutorial on using the free mobile app, Seeing AI, to gain information on products by scanning bar codes. The tutorial is part of the organization’s Tech Pals program, which matches visually impaired young adults to act as technology mentors to visually impaired older adults, teaching accessibility features available on their phones and tablets.
Eyecare professionals can share these tutorials with their low vision patients to help them take advantage of this easily accessible tool. For more information on free tech that can help low vision patients, see the latest Low Vision column in the March edition of EB.
