Object detection, navigation, OCR, and a voice assistant — all by voice, online or offline.
Features
Every Voicebrain feature is designed to work hands-free and screen-free — your voice is all it takes.
Just tap to talk — no wake word to remember. Get instant answers for the time, date, weather, and simple math.
Powered by AI object detection, Voicebrain tells you what's in front of the camera — from laptops to everyday items around you.
Get alerted to obstacles with an estimated distance, plus optional LiDAR support on compatible devices for more precise guidance.
The app recognizes the type of place you're in — a classroom, a kitchen, an office — so you always have a sense of your surroundings.
Just scan any printed text — receipts, letters, signage — and Voicebrain reads it aloud using OCR.
Point the camera at any object to instantly learn its color — handy for picking out clothes or identifying items.
Voicebrain recognizes Philippine Peso bills and coins, so you can shop and count money with confidence.
Triggers a flashlight SOS blinking signal to catch the attention of people nearby during an emergency.
Just dictate your message and it gets sent as an SMS — no buttons needed, voice does everything from start to finish.
Set up two emergency numbers with a countdown timer — if it isn't cancelled in time, it automatically calls them one after another.
Automatically shares your location with a designated guardian at regular intervals, so someone always knows where you are.
Available in Filipino and English, so the app feels natural and comfortable for any user, anywhere in the Philippines.
Adjust the text-to-speech voice and speaking rate to your liking — faster for frequent use, slower for extra clarity.
Connects to Bluetooth mics and speakers — smart glasses included — for a more discreet, comfortable experience anywhere.
Our Mission
Voicebrain was built for the blind and visually impaired who want greater independence in everyday life — from recognizing objects around them and navigating obstacles, to reading documents and identifying money — without always having to rely on someone else.
We believe accessibility shouldn't be a burden. That's why we designed Voicebrain to be hands-free and screen-free — all you need is your voice, no need to look at or touch a screen.
Our Objectives
Give a real-time understanding of surroundings through object, obstacle, and place detection, so users can move confidently without a sighted companion.
Let users read any printed material on their own through OCR-powered text-to-speech — no need to ask someone else to read it for them.
Help users identify Philippine Peso bills and coins so they can shop, pay, and manage cash independently and with confidence.
Provide fast access to help through emergency contacts, a help signal, and automatic location sharing when every second counts.
Make the app usable by anyone, anywhere in the Philippines, in Filipino or English, online or offline.

VoiceBrain
VoiceBrain is an accessibility app for blind and low-vision users. It uses your camera, microphone, and location to describe surroundings, read text, identify money and colors, and reach emergency contacts by voice. This page explains, item by item, exactly what leaves your phone — and what never does.
VoiceBrain is an accessibility app built for blind and low-vision users. It uses the camera, microphone, and location to describe surroundings, read text, identify money and colors, and reach emergency contacts by voice — most of this processing happens directly on your phone, not on a server we run.
This policy explains exactly what the app accesses, why, and — for every item — whether it ever leaves your device.
Each permission below exists for one specific feature. The app never requests a permission "just in case."
VoiceBrain has no user accounts, no sign-in, and no backend server that stores your data. There is no advertising SDK and no analytics or crash-tracking SDK collecting behavioral data. The only information stored is saved locally in your phone's app storage:
None of this is synced to a cloud account or visible to us. Uninstalling the app permanently deletes all of it from your device.
VoiceBrain relies on a small number of services built into Android itself, rather than services we operate:
We do not integrate any advertising network, analytics platform, or data broker.
We do not sell, rent, or share your data with advertisers or other third parties. The only "sharing" that happens is the direct result of features you turned on yourself — for example, texting your location to the Emergency Contact you chose, whether triggered by voice or by the Auto Send Location schedule. That message goes from your phone to their phone; it does not pass through us.
All app data lives in local storage on your device for as long as the app is installed. There is no remote copy for us to retain, delete, or lose in a breach, because we never receive it in the first place. Uninstalling VoiceBrain removes it immediately.
VoiceBrain is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us using the details below and we'll address it.
Because sensitive data (camera frames, audio, location) is processed on-device rather than transmitted to a server, there is no central database of user data for us to protect or that could be breached. Data you send via SMS or phone call is protected by your carrier's standard network security.
If this policy changes, the updated version will be published at this same address with a new effective date at the top. Continued use of the app after an update means you accept the revised policy.

Get the App
Free to install on Android — works fully online or offline.
Voicebrain isn't on the Google Play Store yet, so Android will walk you through a few extra confirmations the first time. Here's what to expect:
When your browser or Android warns you about installing from an unknown source, tap "Settings," then turn on "Allow from this source" for your browser.
Play Protect may try to block the install since the app isn't from the Play Store. If prompted, tap "Install anyway," or open Play Store → Profile → Play Protect → Settings and turn off scanning temporarily.
After installing, open Settings → Apps → Voicebrain, tap the ⋮ menu in the top-right corner, and choose "Allow restricted settings." Newer Android versions require this for apps installed outside the Play Store.
Launch the app and allow the camera, microphone, and location permissions it asks for — you're ready to use Voicebrain!
