Let’s explore some! Seeing AI It is a clever app designed to help and support people who are blind or partially sighted, and want to be able to read the world around them.

It helps young people learn about meditation (冥想) and mindfulness, which are ways to focus your thoughts. It’s free, and gives you exercises to practise for 10 minutes a day. The exercises are designed to help with your concentration and stress, and you can use them with your family or friends. TextHear This is an app created for people who are deaf or have hearing loss. It uses the phone’s microphone to listen to conversations, and turn them into text on the screen so people can see what is being said. Its developers say that it is easier than lip-reading (唇读). Besides, it can translate different languages. Colorfy It is a fun “art and digital colouring” app where you tap on different parts of drawings to colour them in.
