Built today: the perception layer
BuiltEverything above — scenes, text, objects, colours and faces spoken in real time — is built and test-locked, running in our internal development builds. On-device validation is the next step.

Built — in internal development builds today, not yet available to download
It sees and describes —
built for iPhone.
Point the camera. Lenny speaks. Scenes, text, objects, colours and faces — described aloud in real time, locked by more than 2,300 automated tests in our internal development builds.
- ✓ Live Scene — continuous narration that speaks up only when the scene changes, not a one-off description.
- ✓ Point & Speak — point a finger at a sign or label and hear just that text read aloud.
- ✓ Read Document, Money, Find Object, Who’s Here, Find a Door — twelve accessibility tools, built in internal development builds today.
- ✓ Full voice output — every answer spoken aloud; no screen needed.
- … Live navigation guidance — spoken route cues and obstacle awareness. In development; will be validated with an O&M specialist before any unsupervised walk.
Development build — not yet available to download. The seeing-and-describing capability is built for both LiDAR iPhones (iPhone 12 Pro and later Pro/Pro Max models) and non-LiDAR iPhones, and degrades gracefully between them. Navigation guidance is in active development — the safety rules are in the statement below.
Our vision is vision. Accessibility isn’t different. It’s better — for everyone.
Hear the guidance system. It works by voice as you walk — spoken cues, not a screen to watch.
Development build — simulated cues. It assists your judgment; it never replaces your cane, your guide dog, or you, and it will never say “it’s safe to cross.”
In development: route-following assistance
In developmentSpoken route cues with careful awareness of the path right in front of you — steps, kerbs, obstacles. This layer, still in development, is designed to assist route-following once it has passed supervised validation in stages with an Orientation & Mobility specialist — before anyone walks with it unsupervised.
Assists everything. Replaces nothing. This is an assistive tool, not a mobility aid — it will never say “it’s safe to cross,” and it steps back whenever it’s unsure.
The seeing-and-describing parts are built and test-locked, in internal development builds. The live-navigation parts are in development, and will be validated with mobility specialists before any blind person walks with them. Nothing here is available to download yet. See how we prove it →
One platform — here’s what else Lenny does
The same voice-first platform a blind trader uses to run a live market brief also helps you shop, travel and work with your team. We built at the hardest level of accessibility first — so every capability is better for everyone. Pick one for the full detail.
- Markets & technical analysis Live chart reads and market news, explained aloud. General information, not financial advice.
- Shopping & scam-safety Shop by voice, build budget lists, and let Lenny flag dodgy deals — she works for you, not the seller.
- Groupware & voice rooms Text channels and live voice rooms — screen-reader-first, read aloud by Lenny.
- Travel & accessibility Translation, airline special-assistance and step-free routes. Camera way-finding is still on the roadmap.
- Job & career search Ask Lenny or use the search box just below — real Australian job listings, out loud or on screen, free with no sign-up.
- Merchant tools Lenny as your accessible AI sales floor. See it live — search a real store’s catalogue by voice, no sign-up.
- Artists & musicians A free public artist page with track embeds and a directory listing.
- The full workspace Chat, voice rooms and community channels, all screen-reader-first. Free to start.
- Lenny in your Discord Add Lenny to your server — live market briefs, read aloud in your voice channel.

Built to be heard, not just seen
The whole app works by ear: every message, mention and reply is announced the moment it lands. Built for the people other apps leave behind — and better for everyone else too.
Mentions that speak up
@you is read aloud the instant it arrives.
Unread that keeps up
Know what's new without hunting for it.
Threads you can follow by ear
Replies stay grouped and announced in order.
One voice, your language
Lenny answers out loud in the language you speak to her.
She’s on your side. Lenny screens for scams, fake urgency and dodgy “deals,” and explains your Australian consumer rights in plain English. When a link ever earns us a commission, she always tells you — she works for you, not the seller.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about ChatLemur. Still curious? Just ask Lenny.
What is ChatLemur?
ChatLemur is an accessible voice-first AI assistant with skills, that you talk to. Its voice-first AI assistant, Lenny, reads the markets out loud, then helps with news, shopping, jobs and scam-screening — money-smart and on your side — alongside live voice rooms and community. It's free to start, with no sign-up needed to say hello.
Is ChatLemur really free?
Yes. You can create a workspace, invite your team, chat, join voice rooms, and talk to Lenny on the free plan — no credit card required. Paid plans (from A$19/month) add more capacity and premium capabilities, but the core experience is free to start.
Who built this?
ChatLemur is built by a blind Australian developer with 16+ years of production delivery across government, finance and payments. Accessibility-first isn't a marketing claim here — the founder uses the product every day with VoiceOver, and lives by its safety rules. Beta-tester feedback, collected right on this page, actively shapes the roadmap. Our story →
What makes ChatLemur different?
Three things: it's built accessibility-first (designed for full screen-reader and keyboard use, not bolted on afterwards), it's voice-first so you can talk instead of type, and every workspace includes Lenny, an AI assistant who answers questions and reads things aloud. It brings chat, voice, and community into one place rather than making you stitch tools together.
What makes ChatLemur accessible?
ChatLemur is designed and built to meet WCAG 2.1 AA and is built for screen readers from the ground up, with full keyboard navigation, skip links, meaningful labels, and high-contrast, reduced-motion and reduced-transparency support. Because it's designed at accessibility's hardest setting, it ends up better for everyone.
Who is Lenny?
Lenny is ChatLemur's AI assistant — the voice you talk to. She lives in every workspace, answers questions in chat or out loud in voice rooms, summarises conversations, and can give in-depth market analysis. Meet Lenny →
Does ChatLemur work on iPhone?
ChatLemur works in any modern web browser today, including Safari on iPhone and iPad. A native iPhone app is in development — not yet available to download — built with the same accessibility-first approach.
Is the vision & navigation companion available yet?
No — and we’re honest about that. The perception layer (seeing and describing scenes continuously, reading text — including text you point at — and recognising objects and faces) is built and locked by more than 2,300 automated tests, running in our internal development builds — on-device validation is the next step. The navigation layer is in earlier development. Its first field use will be shadow mode: the app logs every cue it would have spoken, without speaking or steering, so its judgment can be audited before it guides anyone. No blind person will walk with it unsupervised until it passes staged validation with an Orientation & Mobility specialist. More about us →
On the roadmap — not yet available
None of the items below are available yet. We’ll say plainly when each one ships — we never claim a feature that isn’t built.
- AI-assisted group video calls. Lenny describes the shared view aloud, so a blind lead and sighted teammates follow the same picture. In development, built on LiveKit.
- Projects & plans, by voice. Lenny breaks a goal into steps and keeps track of what’s next. On the roadmap, not live yet.
- One journey, door to door. A travel companion for every leg of a blind traveller’s trip — walking, public transport, venue wayfinding — in one continuous voice. A vision milestone; validated under Orientation & Mobility supervision before unsupervised use.
- Hands-free on smart glasses. The same vision engine running on Meta-style wearables — the camera as your eyes, hands-free. An exploratory direction, not a roadmap commitment; the phone stays primary and no special hardware is required.
Ready to make it yours?
Create a free account to save your conversations, set price alerts, and keep Lenny in your own workspace. Free during beta — no credit card. Built and used daily by its blind founder — accessibility is the spec, not a bolt-on.
