New Delhi (NVI): Visually challenged persons can now identify the denomination of a currency note through the help of a mobile app that has been launched by RBI.
Empowering the visually impaired persons, the ‘Mani App’ can be downloaded free and works on am offline mode, i.e., it doesn’t require internet connectivity to operate.
The user can simply open the app and point the camera of mobile phone to the currency note.
The app identifies denomination of both old and new Mahatma Gandhi series banknotes.
The app can read the denomination of currency after scanning it and then play an audio to help the visually impaired person know the value of the note.
The app is available on both Android Play Store and iOS Apple store without any charges.
However, the mobile app does not authenticate the note as fake or counterfeit. The Mani App was launched by RBI on January 1, 2020.
