Facebook for the blind will soon be improved. The new feature that was recently added defines a voice to the visually impaired or blind person a photo or video.
Facebook for the blind is thus even more extensive. Since Facebook is a pretty visually oriented social media, this new feature should provide a solution for people with sight disabilities. The feature revolves around highly sophisticated software that can recognize a picture and directly to the person with a disability can tell what is shown in the picture.
This technique has long been in development at Facebook, and can now also be put into practice. The artificial intelligence software that photos must recognize has had according to Facebook millions of examples to learn what may be located on an image. Instead of hearing the word “picture” when a blind person uses software that reads text, it is now possible to hear what exactly that photograph.
In this way, it for people with sight disabilities so much more fun to use Facebook, they can now “see” what is exactly on their screen in order to interactive with social media in this way.
The software is not just for Facebook proper application. In principle, the blind now generally better hear what is happening on the screen when using a tablet, smartphone or PC. The software is currently only available in English and for iOS, but social media says in her message she wants as quickly as possible to support multiple languages and devices.
