In March 2019, the Google Pixel in the United States exclusively released the application Lookout, an accessibility tool aimed at blind or visually impaired people who, after more than a year of waiting, reach more countries.
Lookout is updated to version 2.0 on your global launch, translating the application into more languages, adding new features and making the application compatible with more Android phones.
What is Lookout
Lookout is an accessibility tool that uses the artificial vision to recognize the objects and texts that are focused by the camera of our mobile, saying by voice what it has identified. The application will thus try to help the more than 253 million people with total, partial or significant blindness.
