Emerging from HearLight I’ve released an app called HearLight Canvas.
HearLight Canvas is a painting app for blind and low-vision users where painting means painting sound.
Colors are represented as audible elements, and painting consists of placing and shaping sound on a canvas using touch.
As you paint, you hear what you are doing. The same canvas can be explored again by touch and sound, allowing you to revisit and navigate what you painted.
The app supports:
• a direct-touch canvas with continuous audio feedback
• color selection, where each color has its own sound
• brush size and opacity
• pan and zoom to move across the canvas
• undo and redo, saving and loading images
There are two modes:
• Paint mode, for placing sound on the canvas
• View mode, for exploring what is already on the canvas by listening
The visible image is a normal picture that sighted users can see, but the primary experience is painting and exploring sound on a canvas.
HearLight Canvas is fully accessible with VoiceOver and is designed for users who enjoy exploratory, hands-on interaction.
I have five promotional codes available for blind users who would like to try the app for free.

Great!
I don't know if the app already has any of these features or not, but here are some suggestions:

Code sent with PM.
Load and Save to Photos already works. Text and AI are good ideas!
Thanks!

I’m intrigued!
Hi,
If you have anymore promo codes left, I’d gladly take one & provide feedback.
I’m also willing to beta test upcoming releases & provide feedback on those, if needed as well.
