Google's new Guided Vision feature can help you read the fine print

Google's Guided Vision in Gemini Live uses AI to give real-time audio descriptions for blind and low-vision users.

Summary

Google has launched Guided Vision in Gemini Live on compatible Android devices, a feature that uses AI to provide real-time audio descriptions of objects, text, and surroundings when users share their camera feed. Designed primarily for people who are blind or have low vision — similar to Apple's VoiceOver Live Recognition — it can read small text, identify and describe objects, and answer follow-up questions such as reading an expiration date. The feature is available in the Gemini app, Google TalkBack, or via an accessibility shortcut on devices running Android 9 and above. Google cautions users not to rely on Guided Vision for navigation, safe-travel guidance, obstacle detection, or as a replacement for a cane or mobility aid.
