How cool would it be if you could use your flipper from within your pocket, with earphones connected to your flipper, so you could hear the buttons and use it without looking down. It'd look like you are using earphones connected to your phone or something, and you would be, for example, getting the infared tv remote of the specific tv brand, without looking down and searching for it.
#Screen Reader for Flipper Zero

Ir needs line of sight right?

This is more about the idea of a screen reader type thing than the spy setting guys
Wouldn't invisible pockets be worse this visible ones though

I'm just saying your clothes must be stupidly transparent for IR to work through it

@alpine haven unrelated: did you try to unlock your car with the flipper?

Interested in the above too, but i suppose it could work with some sweatpants that are really thin or have large gaps between the threading? It could also work with something like yoga pants? However this is all unlikely, I can try to test whenever I end up getting mine if I remember, the main issue is that ir is directional soooo… yeah… aiming ir in you pocket is hard

You can't connect earphones to the Flipper so you need an addon card for it. Since you need to use an addon card anyway, why not put something like a camera or a better device to actually look with it? But I don't think the processor has that much power to run an OCR.
Also, there's a SAM (voice generator) APP for the Flipper as a proof of concept and, first, it doesn't sound that well on the internal speaker at least and, second, It looks like it takes a while to load and generate the voice output clearly the device is struggling to generate it. You might need a coprocessor, again in an addon card just for the voice generation.
The last problem, if your goal is to create a full screen reader is, somehow intercept all the API calls which generate text and output them to the voice generating coprocessor, but since most C programs are loop driven and not event driven you might end up with several "voice requests" per cycle you might want something like a screen buffer checking if the screen really changed

Er, you can get IR though quite a bit actually. Before Bluetooth/subghz remotes were so prevalent, I routinely used my IR remotes from under blankets of all kinds. You just need it close/pressed against the fabric and it works a treat.
