Gemini Live’s Guided Vision describes your surroundings aloud on Android

Google has launched Guided Vision in Gemini Live for people who are blind or have low vision, as well as others who want spoken visual assistance. During a Live conversation, users can share their camera, hear descriptions and ask follow-up questions. Guided Vision can also suggest moving the camera when it needs a clearer view.

Google suggests using the feature to read small print, find a nearby object, check clothing colors and patterns, or describe a room. These are intended uses, not a guarantee that its answers will be accurate.

Guided Vision is available on devices running Android 9 or later in regions and languages where Gemini Live is supported. In the Gemini mobile app, users can turn on Use Guided Vision in Live in profile settings, then share their camera during a Live session. Android accessibility shortcuts and the TalkBack menu provide other ways to launch it.

Google warns that Guided Vision can make mistakes. It is not a medical device or a replacement for a white cane or other mobility aid. It is not intended for navigation, obstacle detection or safe-travel guidance.
