Google’s new Guided Vision feature can help you read the fine print

谷歌推出全新“引导视觉”(Guided Vision)功能,助你轻松阅读细小文字

Guided Vision is launching in Gemini Live on compatible Android devices today to use AI to give real-time audio descriptions of anything you point your phone’s camera at. By sharing your camera in Gemini Live, you can have Google’s AI help with things like reading small text, describing your surroundings, finding or identifying objects around you, and describing details on specific objects.

“引导视觉”(Guided Vision)功能今日正式在兼容的安卓设备上登陆 Gemini Live。它利用人工智能,为你手机摄像头所指向的任何物体提供实时语音描述。通过在 Gemini Live 中共享摄像头,你可以让谷歌的 AI 协助你完成诸如阅读细小文字、描述周围环境、寻找或识别身边物体,以及描述特定物体细节等任务。

Like the VoiceOver Live Recognition feature Apple has added to the iPhone and Vision Pro, it’s designed for people who are blind, have low vision, or want assistance in specific situations. In addition to the Gemini app, Guided Vision is also available in Google TalkBack, or users can set up an accessibility shortcut for it in the Settings app on devices running Android 9 and above, after it was announced in a recent set of Pixel updates.

正如苹果在 iPhone 和 Vision Pro 上添加的“旁白实时识别”(VoiceOver Live Recognition)功能一样,该功能专为盲人、低视力人群或在特定情况下需要辅助的用户而设计。除了 Gemini 应用外,Guided Vision 也已集成在 Google TalkBack 中。在最近的一系列 Pixel 更新发布后,运行安卓 9 及以上版本的设备用户,也可以在“设置”应用中为其配置辅助功能快捷方式。

You can also ask follow-up questions about whatever you’re looking at, like asking Gemini to read off the expiration date on an item it helped you find. Google says Gemini will give you audio cues to help line up your camera if you ask about something that’s not in the shot. However, Google cautions users not to rely on Guided Vision for things like “navigation, safe-travel guidance, or obstacle detection,” or as a replacement for a cane or mobility aid.

你还可以针对正在观察的事物提出后续问题,例如让 Gemini 读出它帮你找到的物品上的保质期。谷歌表示,如果你询问的内容不在画面中,Gemini 会提供语音提示,帮助你调整摄像头位置。不过,谷歌提醒用户,不要依赖 Guided Vision 进行“导航、安全出行引导或障碍物检测”,也不要将其作为手杖或移动辅助工具的替代品。
