With the aim to aid the differently-abled, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Wednesday has launched a mobile app to identify currency notes.
According to the central bank, the visually challenged can identify the denomination of a note by using the application, which can also work offline once it is installed.
The app, ‘MANI’, which is an acronym for Mobile Aided Note Identifier, can be downloaded by the user and scan the notes using the camera. The bank further added that the audio output to give out results will be in Hindi and English.
The app, which is available both on Android and iOS operating systems, was launched by the RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das and other officials on Wednesday.
The central bank however said that the app does not authenticate a note as either genuine or counterfeit.
