The Aipoly app uses artificial intelligence to recognize its surroundings, and then says those objects out loud as a way to aid visually impaired users.

The app's makers claim the software improves the more it's used. It can also read objects out loud in seven languages.

Aipoly joins a small group of apps designed to help the visually impaired, such as Be My Eyes and Color ID Free.
