Designed for independence. Built for everyone.
Accessibility isn't a feature we added at the end. It's the entire reason LookSense exists. Every design decision was made with one question: does this work without sighted assistance? The answer has to be yes. Every time.
Who LookSense is designed for
Color vision deficiency
Over 300 million people. Navy from black, sage from gray, burgundy from brown, everyday calls that quietly erode confidence over a lifetime.
Low vision
Macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy. Standard solutions assume color perception. LookSense does not. It speaks, and it works in any light.
Blind & DeafBlind
No visual feedback required at any step. The answer is spoken, and it works hand in hand with the screen reader you already use.
Age-related vision loss
AMD is one of the fastest-growing disability categories. LookSense is built for the wave that's already here.
Full detail on each group is on the who it's for page.
Voice-first by design
LookSense speaks the color. Not just shows it on a screen, speaks it, in plain language, out loud. "Salmon." "Cornflower blue." "Charcoal gray." Descriptive enough to be useful, short enough not to be annoying. It works alongside VoiceOver and the assistive settings you already rely on, so you never have to see the screen to get the answer.
A no-phone option is coming
The app is the fastest way in, but a phone is itself a dependency: a charge, a connection, a screen to navigate. For people who want none of that, a standalone spectral sensor is in development, a device with its own battery, sensor, and speaker that gives a spoken answer with no phone required. We intend to work with low-vision and blindness advocacy organizations during development to validate and improve it. If you have lived experience and want to be part of that conversation, we want to hear from you.
Web accessibility
This site is built with semantic HTML, sufficient color contrast, and keyboard navigability, and we are actively working toward WCAG 2.1 AA across all SpectralSense properties.
