NoteTell Money Reader

Description of App

NoteTell Money Reader is designed to help people who are blind or have low vision identify bills in real time. Simply point the iPhone camera at the bill you want to identify, then hear, feel, or see its value.

If you’re blind, have low vision, or are deafblind, NoteTell Money Reader lets you identify bills without any assistance. While shopping, use NoteTell to check your money at the checkout and make sure you get the right change back. You can also use NoteTell to quickly sort your money at home.

NoteTell doesn’t require an internet connection, so it identifies bills anywhere, at any time.

NoteTell can identify bills at any angle. It is designed to work with bills that are folded, creased, worn, or partly in view.

NoteTell is designed to work indoors, outdoors, and even in total darkness. When your environment is too dark to identify bills, NoteTell turns the flashlight on automatically.

Vibration Mode tells you the value of each bill as vibrations in your hand—without anyone else hearing it. Each bill has its own vibration pattern. The lowest bill has one pulse, and each higher bill has one more. Pulses come in pairs, so they’re easier to count. Vibration Mode is also useful in noisy places and for people who are deafblind. When VoiceOver is on, double-tap with two fingers to switch between Speech Mode and Vibration Mode.

For users with low vision, NoteTell shows the value of each bill in large, high-contrast numbers on the screen.

You can complete every task in NoteTell Money Reader using only VoiceOver, without sighted assistance. If you use a braille display with VoiceOver, you can use NoteTell to get the value of each bill in real time.

Ask Siri, “Identify currency with NoteTell,” to use NoteTell hands-free. You can also add NoteTell to Control Center or the Lock Screen, assign it to the Action button, or set it up as a Vocal Shortcut.

With the full version, you can use Currency Conversion to hear each bill’s value in your home currency when you travel.

NoteTell uses on-device processing to identify bills, which means your data never leaves your iPhone. Camera images are never stored on the device or on any servers.

You can try the full version free for 14 days. You won’t be charged when the trial ends. You can continue using NoteTell for free to identify the lowest notes of each currency. The full version is also available as a one-time purchase. And with Family Sharing, up to five other people can enjoy your purchase too.
