Introducing HoveRead

Redefining Accessibility for Visual Assistance


In a world reliant on technology, making sure everyone is included is crucial. Introducing HoveRead, a groundbreaking app that transforms accessibility for the visually impaired and learning to read people. Users will be able to navigate text and images seamlessly and intuitively with this innovative tool.


HoveRead is a touch-based assistive app, similar to iOS accessibility settings. An icon similar to a cursor appears on your device's screen once it is downloaded and activated. With this circular tool, users can easily navigate text, paragraphs, and various forms of content.


Here's a glimpse into the user experience through a wireframe/storyboard:




  • Home Page: When you launch HoveRead, you're ushered into the app. There are lots of customization options here, like adjusting the reading speed and voice tone to suit your style.

  • Assistive Icon Activation: When activated, an assistive icon appears on the screen, helping the user interact.

  • Text Recognition and Reading: You'll see a magical transformation as soon as you hover over the circular icon. Highlighting the text automatically triggers an audio narration, effortlessly reading paragraphs or sentences aloud.

HoveRead also recognizes images, buttons, and apps, so it can provide comprehensive visual assistance. There's a lot of potential in this app. It gives people with visual impairments independence and agency when navigating digital content. As well, it aids comprehension and fosters literacy skills for those learning to read.


HoveRead's user-centric design makes it simple and effective. It makes accessibility an inherent part of technology by seamlessly integrating it into everyday device use. A more inclusive digital landscape is possible thanks to apps like HoveRead, as technology continues to evolve. We're going to live in a world where assistive technologies seamlessly coexist with everyday devices, bridging gaps and empowering everyone. HoveRead exemplifies how technology can transform lives, where innovation and inclusivity meet to make a profound difference in the lives of individuals who need assistive technology.
