In this Blind Vet Tech Quick Guides, News and Reviews podcast, we demonstrate and review the OCR capabilities of Microsoft Seeing AI and Aira’s Chloe. Seeing AI’s OCR ease of use and OCR efficiency makes it the gold standard which to compare other OCR solutions. I would even say that Seeing AI is more advance than similar OCR solutions, like KNFB Reader to Orcam. This makes Seeing AI a great method to evaluate the progress Aira made with Chloe’s OCR capabilities.
