Microsoft’s new app for the blind 👀
This newsletter was brought to you byWispr FlowMicrosoft’s new app for the blind 👀
Microsoft’s new app makes the visual world accessible to the blind. The app is a talking camera that uses AI to identify people and things around you, described in audio. It can:
- Recognize peoples’ facial expressions
- Read nutritional facts
- Identify a $20 bill
- Voice-dictate your Twitter timeline
Watch the video. It’s impressive. 👏
The app, creatively named, Seeing AI, is reminiscent of one of the most popular hunts from 2015: Be My Eyes, an app to “lend” your eyes to the blind. For those fortunate to have unimpaired sight, visit this site for your daily dose of empathy.

Are you really still typing?
Full disclosure: Wispr Flow is the AI dictation tool most of us at Product Hunt (use we still have a few holdout typers, what romantics). Hold a key, talk, and clean text drops straight into whatever app you're already in — Slack, email, Notion, your IDE, wherever your cursor lives. No switching windows. No copy-paste ritual. Just say the thing – yes, you can whisper it – and even your most run-on sentences will be turned into polished writing at 4x the speed of typing.
