ADVISE WHEN Seeing AI app will be available on Android phones. Help near blind folks know if they must buy a new Apple iPhone? Or wait?
Aged near blind must have access to this terrific app. Must they buy an iPhone and scrap their Android device only to find out next day that Seeing AI is now available for Android devices. PLEASE - just let us know WHEN so that we can make intelligent decisions. Surely Microsoft can do better than "We're working on it". Thanks MUCH.

Microsoft’s admin points users to the accessibility blog, know where is seeing ai and android mentioned. Admin, why is android being ignored? Is the team still under the impression android is not accessible/useable compared to an iPhone? Note: your blog does not address seeing ai’s glaring omission of android. In a nut shell, apple has grown stagnate, overpriced hardware, pixel3 and other android OEMs cost less to buy with features not found in an iPhone. Last, its getting to cost for some blind user to afford apple’s over priced phone’s so they turn to android knowing their going to miss out on seeing AI. So, what is Microsoft doing other than listening to a select users who have barely ever touch an android device?
