Scribe Me: Revolutionizing the Visually Impaired Experience with AI

Karen Mourad, 16, lost her sight five years ago but felt she regained it thanks to the Scribe Me app developed by her brother, Mark. During a trip to Kenya, Karen used the AI-powered app to receive continuous descriptions of animals, helping her form a mental image of her surroundings. Scribe Me, designed by two blind siblings, supports 20 languages, including Arabic, and can be used on iPhone and Android devices as well as Meta glasses. Mark, who also lost his sight, taught himself programming to develop the app after facing educational difficulties due to his vision loss.
