Speak! is an app designed to aid the visually impaired and others that require reading assistance. 

The app takes advantage of state-of-the-art artificial intelligence technology. It will read any text captured by the camera. It can be used to read anything from street signs to newspapers. The app has been specifically designed to detect text in "bad photos", for instance when the text is rotated or far away. In addition it knows to detect relevant text only, for example when photographing a page in a book, text captured on the adjacent page will be ignored.

Simply point your phone at any image and tap anywhere on the screen to start text detection. The app will detect the significant text, zoom on it and read it out loud.
