0:05.2	Hello Adam Buckston here reporting from my local supermarket and I am using an app called Microsoft
0:12.4	Seeing AI. Among other things it reads out the information on packaging when I point the camera
0:17.4	at the product or scan a barcode. There are an estimated 10 million people in the UK who may have
0:23.2	difficulty reading the labels of products due to sight loss or low literacy so this app can make
0:29.2	their lives a little bit easier. As I'm over 50 I'm thinking of buying some multi-vitamins.
0:34.5	I like the colors on this box so I'll just point my camera over here and see what I'm getting.
0:40.5	Processing. Centrum that old 50 plus 180 tablets easy to smaller. Okay thank you seeing AI you get

1:25.6	To download Seeing AI for free visit the Apple Store. Help us spread the word. Now you can always read
1:30.8	the label even if you can't. This is an advertisement from BetterHelp Therapy Online.
1:37.7	You know Rosie I really think that having a dog friend like you has made a positive
1:41.6	difference to my mental health over the last decade. Oh that's good. Thanks for saying so. I love
1:46.7	you. I love you too but sometimes I feel and please don't take this the wrong way. Occasionally
1:51.9	when I share my anxieties with you. I don't get that much back in the way of insight. Yes well I
