- Four screen corners each pair a primary action with a spoken, hold-to-run second action; allergy warnings say no warning does not mean safe.
Field notes
Setup lets users choose corner controls or ordinary buttons, switch spoken answers off for VoiceOver or TalkBack, and select English or Spanish. Headset controls map one, two, and three presses to Read, Describe, and Ask; the app must stay open with the screen on. The page says images and recordings are analyzed then discarded, while remembered items stay on the device. Pro adds memory, family sharing, and headset support, with subscription and key management shown.
