Magnification made simple
A clearer view is always close at hand
01
A clearer view is always close at hand
Use the live camera view to bring nearby details closer, then adjust the image in the way that feels most comfortable.
- Adjust magnification with the zoom slider or a pinch gesture.
- Use clear, accessible controls, with larger controls available when you want them.
02
Available on Android
Point, ask, and listen
Point MagGlass toward packaging, a menu, a label, a letter, or printed instructions. Say “Read this” or “Lis ceci,” and MagGlass reads the visible words aloud, following their natural visual order where possible.
On Android, say “Read this” or “Lis ceci” while Shopping Mode is active. MagGlass reads the visible text, then automatically resumes product scanning.
Good lighting, clear focus, readable text size, and a simple document layout help produce the best result.
03
Move from one product to the next with confidence
Point the camera toward a product barcode and MagGlass speaks the product information when it is available. Continuous scanning lets you move naturally between products, while reducing repeated announcements of the same barcode.
Hands-free
A steadier, clearer camera
Keep fine details easier to follow
MagGlass is preparing a more stable camera experience for close-up viewing, with smoother zoom and thoughtful image enhancement that can help reduce distracting movement and bring out useful detail.
- Image stabilization helps calm the live view while you position your phone.
- Gentle noise reduction and sharpening improve captured images without overwhelming the detail.
- Microscope Mode slows zoom movement and adds an alignment guide for very small subjects.
- Every new camera control has a clear accessibility label and spoken confirmation.
Coming in the next MagGlass update for iPhone. Capabilities vary by camera and device.
Much more than a magnifier
A basic magnifier makes things bigger. MagGlass helps you understand them.
Built-in magnifiers are useful for zooming. MagGlass goes further when magnification alone is not enough.
