Today, Cory and Luke are discussing the FREE NaviLens app, which has been making waves in the industry by successfully partnering with a number of major brands like: Kellogg's, Olay, Pantene, Coca-Cola, Gillette, Oral-B and many more! But don't be fooled! This app is much more than simple product identification! The real potential of NaviLens comes from the codes themselves which can be detected much more easily and from a far greater distance than both QR or Barcodes. This is especially convenient for those with a visual impairment because it means you do not need to line up your phone's camera perfectly in order to sense the code. Once detected, the app guides you towards that code, making it a reliable navigational aid as well. But the usefulness does not end there! New NaviLens codes can be printed off from their website in any size and labeled for personal use in the home. There is no limit to the amount of text information you can assign to a code. Better yet, NaviLens preset printable codes can make it easier to accommodate the visually impaired by labeling important signage with preset codes such as: bathroom, stairs, recycling bin, water bottle filling station, etc. These preset codes are easy to print out and post up so as to help any smartphone user to interact more easily with their environment in places such as subway stations, bus stops and museums, public buildings or special event centers.

On today's Tech Connect, our Assistive Technology Experts are discussing OCR. Specifically, several free apps which use modern AI to help you read any handwriting you might come across. While its true that the world around us has been electrified, and that we live ever more of our lives online, we have yet to reach the proposed: "paperless future." Writing remains relevant, and it is important to be able to read what someone has taken the time to write out by hand. Cory and Luke have a few tips and tricks to maximize your ability to succeed when attempting optical character recognition. Today we are focusing on: Envision AI, SeeingAI, and BeMyAI. We will walk through each app, demonstrating its abilities and comparing the results. Cory and Luke are here to assess a handful of the top OCR apps to determine which provides the most useful service. If you have any additional questions about OCR, please add those down in the comment section and we will endeavor to help. 0:00 Start 1:38 Introduction 2:25 Envision AI, Worthless! 5:25 Seeing AI, Great! 9:18 Be My AI, Best! 13:52 Summary Review 15:17 Contact Info Join us next time on Tech Connect, and be sure to leave your thoughts down in the comments below and ask plenty of questions!
