My Smart Eye is an app designed to crowdsource vision, and help blind users identify objects in their surroundings with the help of micro-volunteers.

Using available assistive devices in their smartphone, the blind person makes a picture of any object with their mobiles, and shares it with a network of micro-volunteers who provide descriptions in real time. Replies are received in seconds and through text to speech features.

The application works in devices running on iOS or Android, and has the purpose of providing the blind with descriptions that are more accurate than the ones usually provided by automated systems. The My Smart Eye website offers more information about this product.

The application described in this article has not been tested yet by Amóvil. Opinions and reviews of those who have used it are welcome.
