Hi, It's interesting to note that VizWiz actually is available even in the Swedish app store, however i wonder whether the services offered by this app really works here, since i wonder if there are any scandinavian speaking volunteers at this time. ***ranting mode on*** Sometimes i wonder about how apps are released in the different app stores. Dragon dictation, for example isn't released ere in Sweden and other places in Scandinavia at least, but other apps with only usa related info or functions, such as Google voice is happily released here. ***ranting mode off*** /Krister 30 maj 2011 kl. 21.41 skrev Geoff Waaler:
