Seen turns a photo of something with a brand on it into the market for that company's Stock Token, and says plainly when there isn't one.

What happens when you take a photo

1. LookThe photo is sent to the recognisers. It is not stored by Seen.
2. NameThey return brands they can actually see: a logo, readable brand text, or an unmistakable product shape.
3. CompanyA brand only counts if it is in Seen's hand-checked registry, which maps it to one parent company and that company's ISIN, the official ID of its shares.
4. MarketThat ISIN is matched against Robinhood's list of Stock Tokens. The token's contract is read on the chain before any market is shown.

How sure Seen is

Two recognisers look at the photo without seeing each other's answer: Gemini, which reads logos, text and product shapes, and Google Cloud Vision, which detects logos. The tier comes from what they do together, never from a model's own opinion, so you will never see a made-up percentage.

HIGHBoth named brands of the same company.
MEDIUMOne named it and the other was silent or switched off.
LOWThey disagree, or nothing was recognised.

Seen goes straight to the market it reads, and shows which brand it read so you can correct it.

Why some tokens say "not reachable by camera yet"

Every listed Stock Token is a real market, but a photo can only lead to companies in the registry. Each entry is checked by hand, because guessing a brand's owner sends people to the wrong company. Some real traps:

Companies that make industrial parts nobody photographs will keep that label.

What a Stock Token is

A Stock Token is issued by a third party on Robinhood Chain and tracks the price of a company's shares. It is not a share in that company. It carries no shareholder rights, and the issuer, not the company, stands behind it. Seen shows the reference bid and ask published by the issuer, the time they were quoted, and the token's contract address, which you can open on the chain explorer.

What Seen does not do

Your photos

Photos are sent to Google (Gemini and Cloud Vision) to be recognised, under Google's free-tier terms, which allow Google to use the content to improve its products. Seen keeps no copy of the photo. Your scan history is stored only in your own browser, and clearing your browser data erases it.

The recognisers run on a free allowance, so at busy moments a scan can be refused for a minute. Seen says when that happens instead of pretending it saw nothing.

The Android app

The app is this site in a native shell, so the camera and photo picker work as they do in any app. It updates itself whenever the site changes, because it always shows the live site.
