An offline voice for what's in front of you.

BlindAssist narrates the world in real time for visually impaired users — obstacles, people, text, and Indian currency — entirely on-device. No internet connection required, ever.

Obstacle & hazard detection

Depth estimation flags what's ahead and roughly how far — chairs, steps, curbs — before you reach them.

continuous

People & object recognition

Narrates who and what is nearby as the scene changes, without needing to ask.

volume up

Read text aloud

Point the camera at a sign, label, or page — press once, hear it read back on demand.

volume down

Indian currency ID

Identifies note and coin denominations, trained specifically on Indian currency.

Download and sideload

This isn't on the Play Store yet, so Android will ask for one extra permission the first time — that's expected.

Download APK
01

Tap Download APK above and open the file once it finishes.

02

Allow "install from unknown sources" if prompted — normal for apps outside the Play Store.

03

Open BlindAssist, grant camera permission, and it starts narrating.

Known limitation — this is a beta build. 1 rupee vs 2 rupee coin detection is still unreliable; everything else has tested well.
