Version History - Important bug fix for Ally Solos users trying to get Ally to provide image descriptions
- Reduced latency for a faster, more responsive experience 1.8.1 Mar 21 Introducing Document Guidance — a brand new way to scan documents with Ally. When you start a scan, Ally now provides real-time spoken instructions to help you position your phone correctly (e.g., move left, move right, hold steady). Once all edges of your document are visible, Ally automatically snaps the picture for you.

You can always override Document Guidance and take a photo manually using the manual capture button. Document Guidance works best with documents on flat surfaces or books folded to show one page at a time.

Document Guidance is enabled by default and can be toggled off in Settings.

Note: Document Guidance is currently available in the Ally app only and is not yet supported on Envision Glasses or Ally Solos Glasses.

This update also includes various UX improvements and translation fixes for a smoother experience across all supported languages. 1.8.0 Feb 18 Version 1.7.7
• Added sound cues for starting and ending a call.
• When Solos are connected, a processing sound now plays for the 'Describing Scene' feature.
