It's time for another TEC Talk Live, and in this episode Luke and Cory, assistive technology specialists at Vision Forward Association, take a look at the Google Lookout app on Android smartphones.

Seeing AI has been a very popular app for iPhone, but has stayed on that platform, leaving Android users in the lurch. Luckily, Lookout has filled the gap, providing many similar features including quick text OCR mode, document OCR mode, money recognition, environment recognition and product recognition.

Find out in this TEC Talk Live whether the app is any good, and see Cory try out the different features in real-time. Plus, hear about its implementation on the Blindshell Classic 2 phone and find out how it stacks up to Envision AI and SuperSense!
