Low Vision Magnifier

About this app

Low Vision Magnifier helps you see, read, hear, and understand visual information far beyond traditional magnification. Turn your Mac into a powerful low-vision workspace with live camera magnification, live OCR, speech output, AI visual description, website reading, document support, and auditory navigation in one app. When magnification is not enough, AI visual description can help explain what is visible. Use the camera, a camera snapshot, an image, a document, or a website snapshot and let the app describe the content in clear language. Descriptions can include layout, visible text, objects, labels, packaging, screens, documents, warnings, prices, dates, and spatial relationships. Use the live camera as a flexible video magnifier with up to 80x zoom, high-contrast filters, inverted colours, grayscale, and selectable camera support. Depending on your system, you can use the built-in camera, a webcam, an external camera, or your iPhone as a wireless camera. Live OCR turns the camera into a real-time text reader. Text seen by the camera can appear as live OCR captions and can be spoken aloud while you move through printed text, labels, signs, forms, instructions, screens, or packaging. Low Vision Magnifier also works with images, PDFs, TXT, RTF, Markdown files, and websites. Open a photo, scan a document, load a PDF, or visit a webpage, then enlarge, extract, read, listen to, and describe the content from the same controlled environment. OCR creates a dedicated reading mode with very large customizable text, adjustable text and background colours, and extreme zoom. PDFs can be rendered into a continuous view and processed with OCR for smoother, uninterrupted reading. Speech output is built into the reading workflow. Recognized text, extracted text, and AI descriptions can be read aloud with adjustable speed and automatic language detection. Automatic scrolling keeps the current spoken line visible, while saved reading position lets you continue where you left off. A movable reading line helps you stay oriented while reading, scanning, or listening. Websites can be opened inside the app with zoom, visual filters, text extraction, saved scroll position, snapshots, and AI description from snapshots. Auditory navigation helps when visual navigation is slow, tiring, or unreliable. Buttons, controls, and important actions can be spoken aloud, allowing you to move through the app by sound as well as by sight. Low Vision Magnifier combines video magnification, AI visual description, live OCR, document reading, web reading, text-to-speech, and auditory navigation in one accessible workspace. Enlarge, extract, read, listen, navigate, and describe visual information from one place.

This update significantly expands the app’s low-vision tools, bringing magnification, OCR, speech output, visual description, and auditory navigation into one accessible workspace. The app is now built to help you move through information using sound. Buttons and controls can be spoken aloud, status changes are easier to follow, and recognized or extracted text can be read back with clear speech. This makes the app faster and more comfortable when visual navigation alone is too slow, tiring, or unreliable. You can magnify using the live camera, extract text with live OCR, and have recognized text read aloud. The same workflow also works with images, PDFs, website pages, and the camera view. Open a photo, scan a document, or load a webpage, then view the content in a large, customizable reading mode and listen to it with speech output. Key new capabilities include: * Auditory navigation with spoken feedback for controls and app actions * Live camera magnification with selectable camera support * Use the built-in camera, a webcam, an external camera, or your iPhone as a wireless camera * Live OCR that recognizes text directly from the camera view * Live speech output for recognized and extracted text * Automatic scrolling while speech plays, keeping the current spoken line visible * Saved reading position, so you can resume exactly where you stopped * Adjustable reading line for easier line-by-line orientation * High-contrast filters, grayscale, and inverted colors to improve readability across lighting conditions and visual needs * Website reading with zoom, visual filters, text extraction, and snapshots * Camera snapshots to capture what you see and return to it later * AI visual description for images, camera snapshots, and website snapshots, describing what is visible in the frame With up to 80x magnification for images, camera view, and websites, and even higher zoom available in text reading mode, the app is useful across a wide range of low vision and blindness needs. From one place, you can enlarge, extract, read, listen to, navigate, and describe visual information, with more control over how you see, hear, and understand it.
