Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear. I’m Fred Fishkin.   Using AI to assist with vision.    Envision is a company that has been using technology…including Google Glasses and apps to bring new capabilities to people who are blind or have low vision.   And now it has created Ally…an AI app that can work on a variety of platforms…including mobile devices and Envision glasses.   Founder and CEO Karthik Kannan..says it can be used by anyone..and there are different voices and attitudes to choose from…

“You either talk to Ally or text Ally.  You click on talk to Ally and you are able to have this conversation with whichever Ally you’ve picked.  And over time you can customize the Ally.  You can say, maybe, this is too cheerful for me.”

It is easy to get started… you can check it out for free at ally.me.
