Google updates Lookout and Look to Speak apps with new features for enhanced accessibility.

Google has updated its accessibility apps, Lookout and Look to Speak, with new features that enhance their capabilities. Lookout's new version can read text and documents out loud, recognize currency, and identify objects using the camera, with a "Find" mode to help users locate items like seating, tables, and vehicles. Look to Speak now includes a text-free mode, enabling users to communicate via an emoji or symbol-based system. Google has expanded screen reader capabilities on Maps for accessibility information, improved detailed voice guidance, and open-sourced more code for the Project Gameface hands-free "mouse" for Android developers.
