Google Launches Guided Vision in Gemini Live for Blind Users
Google rolls out Guided Vision in Gemini Live, an accessibility feature that describes camera views and gives spoken camera-adjustment guidance for blind and low-vision users.
Google is rolling out Guided Vision in Gemini Live, a new accessibility feature that lets blind and low-vision users share their camera and hear real-time descriptions of their surroundings. The feature also provides spoken instructions to adjust the camera, such as pan right, tilt down, or step back.
Guided Vision can be enabled from Gemini's settings, Android's Accessibility menu, or TalkBack. It works on devices running Android 9 or newer in regions and languages where Gemini Live is supported.
Google developed Guided Vision with accessibility service Aira, including over 1,000 members of Aira's Trusted Tester network. The company has been building toward camera-based visual guidance in Gemini Live for more than a year, first adding visual guidance that could highlight objects on-screen. Google was previously spotted preparing a dedicated Guided Vision toggle and later an accessibility shortcut that could jump straight into the feature.
In September 2026, Google previewed the finished Guided Vision experience but said it was 'coming soon.' The rollout, reported by androidauthority.com, marks the full launch of the feature.
