Texie is an AI assisted reader operating entirely on your device. Point your camera at printed text, signs, labels, & handwritten notes, and Texie will recognize, convert to text, and speak it within seconds. Alternatively, choose the Multiple Pages option in settings to auto-save scanned text to listen at a later time. Texie runs in a continuous video stream, and beeps when it detects text. There is also a Text to Speech (tts) feature in 20+ languages that can be used independently of the text recognition feature. See Settings tab->Text View. Listen to your notes as often as you want, and at any speed to improve recall and facilitate learning. Also use it to paste or scan text from any media to catch up on current news and articles of interest.
