What is SeeHear - Text Capture?
SeeHear - Text Capture is an iPhone-only text-capturing and speech-reading app, weighing just 10.2 MB and requiring iOS 14.0 or later. By accessing the device’s camera, it recognizes text in real time and delivers spoken narration instantly—eliminating the need for manual typing or copying. Users can also take photos of text-containing images and save them directly to their iPhone’s photo library for easy reference later. The app supports customizable text display sizes and fonts to optimize the reading experience. All processing occurs locally on the device, and the developer explicitly states that no user data is collected.
