"How tall is the Eiffel Tower?" — Lumyeye queries the web and reads the answer aloud. No browsing, no keyboard. And at the end, you can simply say: "email this answer to me" — to keep a written trace of a useful query.

Transcript and context

A typical demo. The user asks Lumyeye out loud: "How tall is the Eiffel Tower?". The spoken answer arrives in under two seconds: "The Eiffel Tower is 330 meters tall with antennas, 300 meters without. It was built in 1889 by Gustave Eiffel." Lumyeye cites its sources on request.

The interaction is deliberately simple: you speak, you listen. No visual UI, no browsing, no keyboard. For a blind user, this is the shortest path from a question to an answer. No need to open a browser, find the address bar, dictate into search, then read through results.

Lumyeye handles a broad set of questions: daily news, geography, math, unit conversions, conjugations, short translations, definitions, recipes, practical info (museum hours, simple calculations).

For complex questions, Lumyeye summarizes the answer rather than reading a whole article. That avoids the endless read-through of a Wikipedia page and goes straight to the information you asked for — a major difference compared to plain VoiceOver web reading.

Frequently asked

Web search, sources, privacy — your questions.

Does Lumyeye store my search history?

Lumyeye keeps the last 20 actions on the device in memory only, wiped when you close the app. No long-term history is stored on the Lumyeye server, in line with strict GDPR.

Which news sources does Lumyeye use?

Lumyeye favors certified news sources: The New York Times, The Washington Post, Reuters, AP, Bloomberg, The Wall Street Journal, NPR, BBC, the Financial Times, plus leading European outlets when relevant. The app systematically reads back the source, publication date, author when available, and flags sponsored content.

How does Lumyeye handle Wikipedia and unverified sources?

The app distinguishes featured and good articles on Wikipedia from unverified or flagged articles. For sensitive or contested topics, Lumyeye cites multiple sources and points out where they disagree.

Is medical information reliable?

For medical questions, Lumyeye draws on institutional sources: CDC, NIH, FDA, Mayo Clinic, MedlinePlus and peer-reviewed journals. The app explicitly refuses to give a diagnosis and always points the user to a qualified physician.

Testimonial

Pierre-Henri, 54, Paris.

"I'm an executive in private banking, so I need to follow European economic news continuously. My normal-tension glaucoma makes screen reading painful after two hours. Every morning I just ask Lumyeye, 'give me today's European economic headlines,' and the app reads me a spoken summary. I save reading time and I save my eyes for the priority files of the day."

Practical tips

Search smarter with Lumyeye.

Ask precise, contextualized questions. Instead of "Lumyeye, tell me about inflation," try "Lumyeye, what is the US inflation rate in March 2026 and the Fed's outlook for Q2?" Precision improves answer quality.
Verify critical information. Like any conversational AI, Lumyeye can be wrong or produce an incomplete answer. For medical, legal, financial or political questions, ask Lumyeye to state its sources and confirm with a qualified professional.
Ask for a short summary first. For complex topics, start with "give me a two-sentence summary." If you want more, follow up with "explain in detail." This avoids long reads when the headline is enough.
Rephrase when in doubt. If an answer feels off or contradictory, ask again differently: "can you double-check?", "do you have another source?", "explain without jargon." The user owns the final validation.
Limit highly personal information. For very personal medical, financial or legal queries, avoid sharing full names, SSNs or account numbers. Lumyeye Pro keeps the last 20 actions on the device, wiped on app close.
Keep a record — email it to yourself. After a useful search (a medical fact, a recipe, opening hours, a quote from an article), say "email this to me" or "send this answer to [contact]": Lumyeye Pro turns the spoken answer into an email. Useful to read it back later or share it with someone.
