Egyptian blind innovator creates ScriptMe
Kareen Mourad lost her sight five years ago due to a rare condition affecting her optic nerve. However, she benefited from an application developed by her brother Mark that relies on artificial intelligence and works with Meta glasses to help her interact with her environment through auditory and visual cues. The app, which is used by thousands across 140 countries, vividly describes details about animals, distances, and events, providing visually impaired users with a comprehensive picture of the world around them. The siblings were able to develop this application after facing educational and communication challenges due to their own disabilities. Over time, the app expanded its capabilities to include answering questions and monitoring content in several languages, integrated into smart glasses to enhance the independence of visually impaired users.
