Welcome one and all to another episode of Tech Connect! Today we explore the EMVI app, an AI powered smartphone application with a variety of blindness and low vision use cases. The EMVI app uses its AI to: answer questions, describe images, identify facial expressions, read using OCR and can even describe art for you! Join Luke and Cory as they demonstrate these and other uses for the EMVI App!

Although EMVI is similar to apps like Seeing AI or Be My AI, it should be noted right off the bat that EMVI is not 100% free. Though they do provide a free trail period to test things out as well as various payment models on their website https://www.emvi.ai/ On the bright side, EMVI claims to be a much better steward of your sensitive data, reassuring its users that their privacy is maintained while using this app as compared to some free alternatives.
We at Vision Forward would be happy to answer any questions that you still have about EMVI or other AI Apps down in the comments. And be sure to check out the videos we previously made about Be My AI and Seeing AI so that you can find whichever device best suits your needs!
