Ever wanted your photos described without sending them anywhere?
ScanBox brings private, accessible scanning, OCR, image description, and document reading together in one application. Scan a page and ScanBox can check whether it is upright and offer to rotate it before saving. Capture documents using a scanner or camera, recognise printed text, and use optional local AI for difficult text, handwriting, and image descriptions.
Found an inaccessible PDF online? Leave the file open in your browser, and with one keystroke, ScanBox presents the information accessibly.
ScanBox can also:
- Describe photographs and answer follow-up questions about them.
- Read and OCR documents, and optionally convert them to Word, with tables in tact.
- Save individual scans as JPEGs or combine multiple pages into a PDF.
- Organise described photographs in an accessible Photo Library.
- Provide timed, repeated, and continuous camera capture.
- Offer FaceAlign guidance to help position your face in the camera view.
- Perform recognition and image description locally, without uploading personal images or documents to a cloud service.
Works with NVDA, JAWS, System Access, SAPI, and VoiceOver.
Whether you’re reading paperwork, identifying family photographs, capturing a book page, opening a restaurant menu from the web, or tackling inaccessible on-screen content, ScanBox helps make it accessible while keeping your information private.
