應用程式簡介:
視讀通 (Text4U)是香港盲人輔導會為視障人士開發的影像文字辨識朗讀軟件。用戶只需以相機拍下中文或英文文字影像,程式便會把它轉成文字,並通過語音功能朗讀出來。

應用程式操作方法:
請先開啟iPhone 的屏幕閱讀功能(VoiceOver)。軟件預設翻譯語言是繁體中文,如翻譯簡體中文或只是英文,可以在App的右下角選擇識別語言。以一隻手拿著物件或將物件安放於桌子上,另一隻拿著iPhone放在物件的中央,再慢慢抽離所閱讀的平面。如物件是手掌般大小,距離需大約25厘米。在所設定的時間最後三秒會有倒數提示(預設十秒),然後軟件便會自動拍下影像及把影像轉成文字。最後軟件會透過屏幕閱讀功能自動讀出文字。

一些日常生活應用的例子如下:
1. 藥包上的各類資料,包括藥品名稱、成份、服用方法;
