π§ Blind brother builds AI app to narrate the world
A blind Egyptian entrepreneur created ScribeMe, an AI app that narrates the world via audio, allowing visually impaired users to experience surroundings. The app was developed by Mark Morad, who became completely blind by late 2021, and is used by thousands across 140 countries. It uses computer vision to describe objects and wildlife in real-time, offering independence to users like Karen Morad. ScribeMe is free on iPhone and Android, with advanced features available via a subscription. This tech proves that overcoming personal struggles can lead to global accessibility solutions. π
