Re: TapTapSee
My question for you is, how do you suggest they fund this free version that you believe they should have? The current free version has gone beyond their ability to fund it.

My sighted son and I spent that night taking pictures of everything in sight just to see if we could find something it had no clue what that is. As I recall, that particular night we failed horribly. Sense that time my picture taking has been based on need to know rather then a play thing. I think of myself as an average blind person and guess this was pretty much the case with everybody. All that's fine and dandy though however I still maintain that there should be a free version of the app. --- Regards, Alan Go Chicago Bears in 2013!

Re: using iPhone without sim card?

Re: iDevice crash logs -was- Re: when doing a search in app store ios goes back to the home screen
Cara, thank you so much for telling us how you reach the diagnostics and usage data. I didn't know you can even do this! I see you cannot delete these yourself though. Just saying. Thank you so much again! E-mail Facebook and iMessage christopher...@gmail.com On 08/11/2013 01:20, Cara Quinn wrote: this sounds like a crash. I was seeing this with the iTunes Store really frequently a couple of weeks ago. Actually, quite a few Apple apps and services crash on a daily basis in iOS 7. If you'd like to confirm this: • Open Settings • Open General • Open About • Open Diagnostics and Usage • tap the Diagnostic and Usage Data button In this screen you will see all of the crash logs for every app / process that crashes on your device. In order to see the Apple processes, you will need to make sure that you've chosen not to send data to Apple. This way the crash logs will not be deleted from your device as they are sent. to make sure that data is not being sent to Apple: • Back out of the current screen • Tap the Don't Send choice above where it says help Apple improve its products and services by automatically sending daily diagnostic and usage data etc. Once you do this, whenever there is a crash from an Apple app / process, you will see a log entry for that crash. If you want, you may even open that log to see what is inside. Hope this helps.

The best object recognition app out there I know
Dear listers I have seen that there have been dozens of Tap Tap See and Camfind msgs flying around and I’ve read a few but by no means all so apols if this has been covered but I just want to reiterate the jawdroppingly useful app that is Talking Goggles. I can’t recall how much it is but it’s certainly no more than a few dollars (if not free) – I can’t check as I already own it – and it’s certainly nowhere near X dollars a month that Tap Tap See has become, and yet I use it all the time to great effect. I have a 5S so admittedly a good camera but only this morning my computer stopped talking to me while I had about 10 different apps open and all half way through something and before I went nuclear with the power button I thought I’d try Talking Goggles and it read out to me the message about IE having stopped working and the Send/Don’t send thing. I know I could have got out of this by trial and error with some keystrokes but I knew that even hitting Escape on the wrong thing could have been bad news. And this is just one example. So long as you have good bandwidth (as it’s live video it’s processing) you can just point it at anything and it usually reads it or recognises it just fine. I know it’s not perfect but I also know that it’s invaluable and doesn’t have the drawbacks of either having to take multiple snap and hope images or having to pay big bucks (or should that be plenty of pounds) for it either. I should end by saying that I’m not as familiar with the other apps as I am with this one so please don’t consider this as an anti-the-others msg, just a pro-Talking Goggles one.

Re: The best object recognition app out there I know
Hello Robin, I do so agree with you. I use Talking Goggles more than any other object recognition app. I also use Tap Tap See and CamFind, but Talking Goggles is more informative. For instance, TapTapSee will identify a can of dog food, but Talking Goggles will tell me which variety it is.

Re: Tap TapSee
IMO this is insulting. I have never as long as I have been buying blindness products, braille printer in the old days before windows, scanner from edge, my first computer with jaws, dectalk soundcard, laptop for school, you get the idea. Never as a blind user have I felt I was “entitled to freebies! I am talking about a once free app going to subscription service, and stating I think it is overpriced. If you didn’t get timed-out pictures, unrecognized images, and just plain wrong info, i.e. my black dog was called a black cat. sometimes when I scan cans I have to take more than one picture, so the 100 pics are impractical, and I don’t think I use it enough for the monthly fee. We took a lot of pics mostly for fun, but I’m not spending 120 a year for identifying a few cans for cooking. I’ll go to other apps.

Re: Tap TapSee
I love this app, as it is very helpful to me, easy to use and the developers already said that there could be a fee one day. However, I'd also rather pay a high price and be able to use the app for a lifetime instead of the subscription model. A problem I see are these pictures that are useless for object recognition; pictures that are blurry, too dark or are recorded from a too near or too far distance or in a wrong rotation. Most blind folks don't know too much about taking really good, clear, centered photos, so I guess that, depending on the circumstances, a significant amount of pictures will be charged but don't return a real result. Maybe it would be possible to sell a standard edition of the app for a fairly high price and charge extra money as in app purchases as soon as new features are being added. Maybe a version with adds would be fine as well, and people who don't like to see the adds would have to pay the full price.

Re: Tap TapSee
Hi Al, what if we all rode to the developer and made the suggestion that we purchased the app for one price. Even if it's a higher price it would be worth it rather than having to purchase an amount for every so many pictures. We have to know whether the pictures are blurry dark or otherwise so that we know how to place our phone and what to do to improve the quality of our pictures since we can't see. This information is useful, but it would count against how many pictures we can have. So I think that for what we get with this app it would be worth purchasing it for a higher price.

Talking goggles - How to handle this beast?
Hi, Ok i admit, i said i was the one who could make Talking Goggles read displays and the like, only now, i’m not sure anymore. I tried the display of my washing machine and all i got was gibberish. What i think i basically want to know is how do you focus on what things to be read using the camera of an IPhone 5S? Is there something one should keep in mind? Please remember that just as in the case of Prizmo or other scanners for the I-devices, measures such as centimeters and inches don’t mean much to me since i don’t know how big those are. Sounds corny but that’s how it is. Don’t really know why i didn’t learn that back in school, anyways, any help would be appreciated. /Krister -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

I'm not a heavy user, or by all means a regular user. The time that i used TapTapSee, on a bookstore to get title of a book and on a cafe to read the menu, i am very impress with the result and how speedy things are. As far as how many pics you need to take for the accuracy, that is nothing to do with the developer, but have a lot to do with how skillful you are on taking the picture, e.g. correct angle, not to close not too far, and correct brightness etc. For those that complain about the price, well, $10 per month may seems a lot, compare to your GPS subscription, but how often do you use your GPS App, compare to how often you use TapTapSee? Also, by paying the app, i hope, the users of the app will be more serious on what they taking, instead of randem pictures that i know some of blind people take, of some body part, or some slightly R Rated photo just to test it out. One willing to pay $$$ f or a big mac, but not willing to pay 35C per day to support the app? again, because, blind user are entitle to freebies kind of attitude? Do the math yourself. $10 per month is less than 35C per day for unlimited service. or $8 per 100 image which is 8C per image. The way i see it is that, TapTapSee is waiting for too long to charge for the app. Like some said earlier, if TapTapSee charges by the word 'go, i wonder, if people will still whining about it as if there is no tomorrow.

Re: Tap TapSee
Some people don’t mind going for the 8 dollars for 100 pictures ike those that don’t use it that often. I’m one of those that doesn’t use it that often so 30 or whatever I wouldn’t pay just like I’m choosing not to go the month route because it’s just not worth me paying monthly for. Now if I used it more often sure. I think them having different rate plans is better than one price you have no choice but to choose.

Either, some that see reason, supporting the developer to keep it going, or like some insist, as a blind user, you are entitle to freebies. If you are the second lots of people, well, move on to some other free apps like VizWiz, or source it with other app. I've mention on another TapTapSee topic that i'll be willing, to pay $8 for 8C per picture for what TapTapSee can done for me. I'm not a heavy user, or by all means a regular user. The time that i used TapTapSee, on a bookstore to get title of a book and on a cafe to read the menu, i am very impress with the result and how speedy things are. As far as how many pics you need to take for the accuracy, that is nothing to do with the developer, but have a lot to do with how skillful you are on taking the picture, e.g. correct angle, not to close not too far, and correct brightness etc. For those that complain about the price, well, $10 per month may seems a lot, compare to your GPS subscription, but how often do you use your GPS App, compare to how often you use TapTapSee? Also, by paying the app, i hope, the users of the app will be more serious on what they taking, instead of randem pictures that i know some of blind people take, of some body part, or some slightly R Rated photo just to test it out. One willing to pay $$$ f or a big mac, but not willing to pay 35C per day to support the app? again, because, blind user are entitle to freebies kind of attitude? Do the math yourself. $10 per month is less than 35C per day for unlimited service. or $8 per 100 image which is 8C per image. The way i see it is that, TapTapSee is waiting for too long to charge for the app. Like some said earlier, if TapTapSee charges by the word 'go, i wonder, if people will still whining about it as if there is no tomorrow.

Re: Tap TapSee
The problem with a one-time fee, as others have pointed out, is that the developers have ongoing costs which they have to pay every month. Paying a single fee upfront will not let them support those costs each month, since after the initial flood of incoming money from the initial purchases, they will not have anything more. Paying per picture, or per month, is a much better way of doing things since you are essentially paying the costs associated with every picture. While a one-time fee would be better for consumers, in the long run it would cause the developers to lose money, and probably have to shut the service down. The monthly subscription allows them to keep the doors open, so to speak, by ensuring that every pictures paid for.

Even if it's a higher price it would be worth it rather than having to purchase an amount for every so many pictures. We have to know whether the pictures are blurry dark or otherwise so that we know how to place our phone and what to do to improve the quality of our pictures since we can't see. This information is useful, but it would count against how many pictures we can have. So I think that for what we get with this app it would be worth purchasing it for a higher price.

A problem I see are these pictures that are useless for object recognition; pictures that are blurry, too dark or are recorded from a too near or too far distance or in a wrong rotation. Most blind folks don't know too much about taking really good, clear, centered photos, so I guess that, depending on the circumstances, a significant amount of pictures will be charged but don't return a real result. Maybe it would be possible to sell a standard edition of the app for a fairly high price and charge extra money as in app purchases as soon as new features are being added.

Re: Tap TapSee
I'm definitely going to pay the 100 picgture package at some point, I totally get why now. i didn't yesterday but I was also pretty busy with a lot of different things too but I totally get it now.

If you are the second lots of people, well, move on to some other free apps like VizWiz, or source it with other app. I've mention on another TapTapSee topic that i'll be willing, to pay $8 for 8C per picture for what TapTapSee can done for me. I'm not a heavy user, or by all means a regular user. The time that i used TapTapSee, on a bookstore to get title of a book and on a cafe to read the menu, i am very impress with the result and how speedy things are. As far as how many pics you need to take for the accuracy, that is nothing to do with the developer, but have a lot to do with how skillful you are on taking the picture, e.g. correct angle, not to close not too far, and correct brightness etc. For those that complain about the price, well, $10 per month may seems a lot, compare to your GPS subscription, but how often do you use your GPS App, compare to how often you use TapTapSee? Also, by paying the app, i hope, the users of the app will be more serious on what they taking, instead of randem pictures that i know some of blind people take, of some body part, or some slightly R Rated photo just to test it out. One willing to pay $$$ f or a big mac, but not willing to pay 35C per day to support the app? again, because, blind user are entitle to freebies kind of attitude? Do the math yourself. $10 per month is less than 35C per day for unlimited service. or $8 per 100 image which is 8C per image. The way i see it is that, TapTapSee is waiting for too long to charge for the app. Like some said earlier, if TapTapSee charges by the word 'go, i wonder, if people will still whining about it as if there is no tomorrow.

Due to the high costs of image recognition, we were forced to change TapTapSee into a subscription based service. The subscriptions are being introduced over the next few days. We offer two options. Option 1) 100 Picture Pack for $7.99 with no time limit. Option 2) 1 Month of Unlimited Pictures for $9.99. The purchase is done through your Apple iTunes account. If you choose, for example, the 1 month unlimited pack, then you will be prompted with a message to renew after that time period runs out.

A friend told me the other day that she heard the FCC was going to make it mandatory for tv boxes to be accessible, but that would probably be a long time in coming. Roku offers tons of stuff and I wish it were accessible, so that is why I was wondering if Apple TV updates with more categories and channels and such, so that it might be comparable to the Roku.

Re: Talking goggles - How to handle this beast?
OCR with an iThing is as much an intuitive process as an exact method, and there are lots of factors that can go into good recognition. Make sure you have good light and be careful not to block it. It helps to hold the device at the same angle as the display or other object you’re trying to read. It takes trial and error, and sometimes, because of display darkness or other factors, it just doesn’t work well. HtH, Teresa On the other hand, there are different fingers.

The best object recognition app out there I know
Dear listers I agree with Anne that you get best results in good natural light. The camera on the 5S is the best of the bunch so that might be helping too, but I assume that it also has the drawback that, because we’re talking about using it in live video mode, you do need massive bandwidth to get very responsive feedback on the thing you are pointing it at. As for distances – it works on CDs, letters, shop hoardings and even buildings (it recognised the Girkin in London which was hundreds of yards away) so distance obviously varies. I am not sure myself but I imagine that holding it closer than a handspan away would crop part of an A4 sheet, say, but would comfortably get a whole CD case in view (if you centre the camera aperture on the middle of the object of course. Oh, one last thing back on bandwidth – I have 100 megabits per second here at home (probably the router maxes out before that ceiling thinking about it) so this may be why I love it so much at home, but I also do plenty of public speaking and always but always demo Talking Goggles and with semi-decent wifi connectivity it always works with a few seconds delay. I should also say that I have been demoing it long before I got my 5S. So to sum up – good lighting, good bandwidth, a steady hand (if bandwidth is limited then the hand will have to be even steadier I would imagine) and some skill at pointing it straight at the object in question. Oh, and plenty of luck. Hope that helps, Robin. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: using iPhone without sim card?
Sorry, I haven't followed this thread that closely, but for anecdotal evidence, when I received my IPhone 5S, I didn't activate it immediately. I was just coming on call for work and couldn't be dealing with the issues of learning a new phone while trying to field calls and respond to time sensitive texts. So, I didn't activate the phone, continued using my old phone, but played around with the new IPhone via my WiFi connection at home and at work. Seemed like it did nearly everything but make or receive phone calls. When I came off my on-call rotation, I activated the phone and just went on from there.

However, I'd also rather pay a high price and be able to use the app for a lifetime instead of the subscription model. A problem I see are these pictures that are useless for object recognition; pictures that are blurry, too dark or are recorded from a too near or too far distance or in a wrong rotation. Most blind folks don't know too much about taking really good, clear, centered photos, so I guess that, depending on the circumstances, a significant amount of pictures will be charged but don't return a real result. Maybe it would be possible to sell a standard edition of the app for a fairly high price and charge extra money as in app purchases as soon as new features are being added. Maybe a version with adds would be fine as well, and people who don't like to see the adds would have to pay the full price.

Re: Using the Seeing Eye App in a Mall
Interior navigation is a holy grail of navigation. these days. I have had many conversations with professors here at the university about this, and it is currently not achievable without very large infrastructure modifications to buildings. GPS just does not work in doors. Cell is not good enough for triangulation. Even indoor broadcasting is problematic because of multipathing, radio waves bounce all over the place and their arrival time to your receiver can actually be quite off from their actual distance to you. Bluetooth is OK for basic broadcasting of data, say from a specific store, but still makes for issues with navigation. For example, you could walk into a mall, have the mall load it's map onto your device, then bluetooth transmitters could tell your device what store you are passing close to, and then an app on your device would corelate that with the internal map and begin some form of path planning. This is great, but it again requires a lot of infrastructure changes. Installation and maintenance of all the transmitters, developing and maintaining accurate maps and data for the transmitters, and maintenance of the transmitters. None of this is impossible, nor particularly difficult, we just haven't reached a point where wide spread adoption of this is valuable enough to the stake holders for it to get any traction. I expect it is coming, and it has been demonstrated by Google already, but it will be a while before it is deployed on any scale. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: talking timer?
There used to be a timer called ”talking timer”, it worked wonderfully and then it got updated and now it doesn’t work when screen is locked, that is it works only it doesn’t speak the time when the screen is locked. Pity cause i liked the program and it didn’t seem to be developed with the blind in mind. I don’t however think it’s under development anymore. /Krister 8 nov 2013 kl. 16:11 skrev Tammy Freitag ms.sunflowe...@gmail.com: I like to use the timer that is on the clock that comes on the phone.

RE: Tap TapSee
Hi all, In my camera roll, I am told if the photo is clear or bright or whatever. I'm wondering if the developpers of TapTapSee could make it possible for us to get such a review before we submit it, thus reducing the possibility of wasting portions of our package. Just an idea for consideration. I would appreciate your comments.

Even if it's a higher price it would be worth it rather than having to purchase an amount for every so many pictures. We have to know whether the pictures are blurry dark or otherwise so that we know how to place our phone and what to do to improve the quality of our pictures since we can't see. This information is useful, but it would count against how many pictures we can have. So I think that for what we get with this app it would be worth purchasing it for a higher price.

However, I'd also rather pay a high price and be able to use the app for a lifetime instead of the subscription model. A problem I see are these pictures that are useless for object recognition; pictures that are blurry, too dark or are recorded from a too near or too far distance or in a wrong rotation. Most blind folks don't know too much about taking really good, clear, centered photos, so I guess that, depending on the circumstances, a significant amount of pictures will be charged but don't return a real result. Maybe it would be possible to sell a standard edition of the app for a fairly high price and charge extra money as in app purchases as soon as new features are being added. Maybe a version with adds would be fine as well, and people who don't like to see the adds would have to pay the full price.

While completely accurate, this was not what I was interested in since I knew what it was I was taking a photo of. There was no way for me to communicate that I wanted the reading on the thermostat and not just what the object was. Since at that time the service was free, I didn't really give it a second thought and moved on to whatever else I was doing.

Re: Tap TapSee
Betty, It's unfortunate to see you leave our service, but we understand. As mentioned before, due to the high costs of image recognition, we were forced to change TapTapSee into a subscription based service. The subscriptions are being introduced over the next few days. We tried to keep TapTapSee free for as long as we could, and we were able to do it for over a year, but unfortunately we're facing a situation where we either need to transition to a paid subscription, or shut the app down completely.

Re: using iPhone without sim card?
You do not have to activate the phone if you do not wish to use cellular service. What I am referring to is the point at setup where the phone attempts to be activated with Apple.

RE: using iPhone without sim card?
Hi Dan, When you received your 5S the SIM Card was already in the phone, it just was not activated. The original poster was asking about using a phone without SIM Card basically as an iPod Touch. If you take a phone that has not been set up or activated and take the SIM out you can't use it. Once it's activated and you have gone through the setup screens in case of a new phone or one that has been restored you can then take the SIM out and it will continue to work. I can say this for sure because I just sent my old 4S to my fiancee in the Philippines and after I restored the phone I removed my Micro SIM and continued to use the phone on WiFi to load some apps and so on.

Even if it's a higher price it would be worth it rather than having to purchase an amount for every so many pictures. We have to know whether the pictures are blurry dark or otherwise so that we know how to place our phone and what to do to improve the quality of our pictures since we can't see. This information is useful, but it would count against how many pictures we can have. So I think that for what we get with this app it would be worth purchasing it for a higher price.

Most blind folks don't know too much about taking really good, clear, centered photos, so I guess that, depending on the circumstances, a significant amount of pictures will be charged but don't return a real result. Maybe it would be possible to sell a standard edition of the app for a fairly high price and charge extra money as in app purchases as soon as new features are being added. Maybe a version with adds would be fine as well, and people who don't like to see the adds would have to pay the full price.

Re: Tap TapSee
Hi All, I'd like to address the suggestion that some of you had about us charging a one-time, or a lifetime, fee. I believe Alex Hall gave the best response to it. I will actually quote him in my response to you: The problem with a one-time fee, as others have pointed out, is that the developers have ongoing costs which they have to pay every month. Paying a single fee upfront will not let them support those costs each month, since after the initial flood of incoming money from the initial purchases, they will not have anything more. Paying per picture, or per month, is a much better way of doing things since you are essentially paying the costs associated with every picture. While a one-time fee would be better for consumers, in the long run it would cause the developers to lose money, and probably have to shut the service down. The monthly subscription allows them to keep the doors open, so to speak, by ensuring that every pictures paid for. Also, to address some concerns about images failing - we will be releasing an update in the next 5-7 days that will fix TapTapSee to only count the successful images toward your credits.

RE: talking goggles
Hi Patty, If you check the free version, it says In App Purchases at the bottom of the app description. If you double tap on this you get the following: Removes ads and enables links, $0.99 In other words, the free app works just the same, you can use it and it will work as good as the paid version, but you do get ads and if you decide to check any product online you do not have the ability to tap on any links provided. If you only want it to identify stuff you should go for the free version, then you can find out if Voiceover reads the ads and if they are annoying. If so you can just find the in app purchase button and pay the 99 Cents and the ads will be removed. I found in some apps where it said there were ads that Voiceover didn't even read them.

RE: Tap TapSee
Hi Ruby, I completely understand your problem. My fiancée is from the Philippines and while she is not blind, spending $8 or $10 is a lot of money. If she can find a job which right now she can't she only earns about $5 or $6 for a 9-hour work day so spending $10 for her is easily like spending $100 or $200 for somebody in North America or Europe who works. However, as David has pointed out and as the Tap Tap See people have explained, it does cost them money to offer this service and obviously they have to at least try and recover their expenses, no business can function if they spend more than they earn. Considering how small the user base is, charging even $9.99 to buy the app once will not be a solution for Tap Tap See since their costs are ongoing and their costs are higher the more people use the app. Once you buy an app in the App Store it is fairly normal that you don't ever pay for this app again and I find this awesome, but for developers it means they only have income once despite the fact that they continue to work and improve an app. I suggest you explore some of the other apps which people use, Camfind may work for you in quite a few cases even though it is not designed to be used by the blind and it may not be as easy to use or accessible, it is certainly useable. Another app you should get some good results from is Talking Goggles. They have a free version and a 99 Cents version and you can also buy the free version first and then spend the 99 Cents as an in-app purchase to disable ads and to enable links they provide for looking up a product online or doing price comparisons. You may not even ever use this feature and if the ads don't bother you the free version might do the trick for you. Then maybe you could try how this work in combination with buying the 100 pictures from Tap Tap See for $7.99, if you try the other apps first and only use Tap Tap See occasionally they may last you many months.

A problem I see are these pictures that are useless for object recognition; pictures that are blurry, too dark or are recorded from a too near or too far distance or in a wrong rotation. Most blind folks don't know too much about taking really good, clear, centered photos, so I guess that, depending on the circumstances, a significant amount of pictures will be charged but don't return a real result. Maybe it would be possible to sell a standard edition of the app for a fairly high price and charge extra money as in app purchases as soon as new features are being added. Maybe a version with adds would be fine as well, and people who don't like to see the adds would have to pay the full price.

Re: Tap TapSee
I want to express my gratitude for the developers keeping this app free for as long as they have. As stated previously I would love a text box, so I could state that I am seeking the color of my ink print cartridge, not just that it is an ink print cartridge.

RE: Tap TapSee
Hi Alia, Everybody is entitled to their opinion, but I for one am happy to see that by far the majority of people seem to understand that you can't run a business by spending money and not have any come in. I own a retail business and if I sold all the product I have to buy and have in inventory for what I paid for it or for a 5% margin I would be out of business faster than a puppydog can wag its tail. Tap Tap See already stated that they will release an update within a week which addresses the issue of failed pictures. Will you some time take a picture which comes back with a result but a useless result? Yes, most likely, but on the bright side this may encourage all of us blind folks to ask sighted friends or family members to help us develop our picture taking skills. I think it's totally cool to use other apps, many of us have been doing this all along, but I think if you learn to be good at taking pictures and combine Tap Tap See with other apps then 100 pictures would last you at least a couple of months maybe even 3, 4 or 5 months. This means you may spend anywhere from $4 to $2 or even a bit less per month on this and if easy and reliable recognition is important to you than I don't think that is an outrageous price. Having said this it would be nice if Tap Tap See could offer an unlimited annual package at a subscription cost of say $99, then those who use Tap Tap See a lot have a way to get it for a slightly discounted price and if you were to watch for an iTunes Gift Card promo where you could buy 2 $50 cards for $40 each, you would actually only pay $80 a year or $6.66 a month for unlimited use. I think most people will buy the 100 picture pack and see how long it will take them to use it, I just don't use the app often enough to warrant spending even $5 a month. But I will most definitely buy the 100 pictures for $7.99 so I can continue to use the app and also to support the company and it is my guess the 100 pictures will last me close to half a year; I do really like Talking Goggles a lot of time because quite often I can get a result in video mode very quickly which is enough to tell me what I am trying to identify.

If you didn't get timed-out pictures, unrecognized images, and just plain wrong info, i.e. my black dog was called a black cat. sometimes when I scan cans I have to take more than one picture, so the 100 pics are impractical, and I don't think I use it enough for the monthly fee.

Although I haven't decided as of yet which way I'll go but I would guess I'd start with the hundred pictures for 8 bucks and see how that goes.

I'm not a heavy user, or by all means a regular user. The time that i used TapTapSee, on a bookstore to get title of a book and on a cafe to read the menu, i am very impress with the result and how speedy things are. As far as how many pics you need to take for the accuracy, that is nothing to do with the developer, but have a lot to do with how skillful you are on taking the picture, e.g. correct angle, not to close not too far, and correct brightness etc. For those that complain about the price, well, $10 per month may seems a lot, compare to your GPS subscription, but how often do you use your GPS App, compare to how often you use TapTapSee? Also, by paying the app, i hope, the users of the app will be more serious on what they taking, instead of randem pictures that i know some of blind people take, of some body part, or some slightly R Rated photo just to test it out. One willing to pay $$$ f or a big mac, but not willing to pay 35C per day to support the app? again, because, blind user are entitle to freebies kind of attitude? Do the math yourself. $10 per month is less than 35C per day for unlimited service. or $8 per 100 image which is 8C per image. The way i see it is that, TapTapSee is waiting for too long to charge for the app. Like some said earlier, if TapTapSee charges by the word 'go, i wonder, if people will still whining about it as if there is no tomorrow.

New to iPhone - typing text efficiently
Listers, My iPhone 5C had arrived yesterday, and due to your past support and the information so devotedly published in many places by the generous users of iDevices, I had succeeded in setting it up. What a relief and joy!!! I've had some time today to play with it, and at the moment, the only trouble I seem to have is to type text efficiently so that it doesn't take me for ever. I see that some of you write fairly long messages to the group, others compose documents in Pages etc. How on earth do you accomplish it? An external bluetooth keyboard is not an option for me other than at home but then I have my computer which has a qwerty keyboard. I had great hopes for Braille Touch app but I have just realised how difficult it is to hold it in the way recommended and at the same time use the fingers to produce letters. I failed miserably! also, as others had mentioned, my right hand blocks the speaker so it is very discouraging. I had better luck with Fleksy. I turned my phone landscape and was able to use most of my fingers to type with a degree of accuracy provided my phone rested on the table. The iPhone native keyboard is very small indeed. I tried to find where I could change typing mode but it seems to be missing from the settings, or am I missing something? On the iPad you can change typing mode from split tap which I find slows me down, to touch typing which is a bit more efficient. I know it's early days for me but answering text messages and writing short e-mails is something I need to do fairly quickly. I tried Siri for the first time, and I'm [proud to say that I had managed to send a text, place a phone-call and ask for my location. Siri couldn't always understand me though. The volume up and down buttons do not seem to change the volume of Voiceover much. Is this how it should be? Thanks for any tips, and thanks for your support.

Re: New to iPhone - typing text efficiently
Andrew, To change the typing style from standard to touch typing, get into an edit feild and then turn your roter until it says typing mode. then you can flick up or down to change from standard to touch typing. to change the volume of voice over, do a two finger swipe down the screen to have vo start reading the entire screen, then use the volume switch to turn vo up. the volume switch only effects what’s currently making noise, if that makes sense.

Re: Walmart target and Bluetooth
Of course it's going to depend on the particular store at that time but yes, Walmart sells small speakers. So does Radio Shack, Bestbuy some Target stores and most big box stores. These kinds of speakers go quickly meaning if you find one you like, get it then because it might be gone in a month or so. For example, I have a very small speaker that is about 2 inches high and 5 or 6 inches long. It's about as wide as the 3 triple A batteries it takes to power the speaker. The cord forms a large loop which doubles as a wrist strap. To free the 3.5 Mm plug you just turn the jack. It has a pin that goes into a slot in the case. Twisting it moves the pin to the release channel. The little speaker has very good sound. When I saw the one my wife had, I wanted one too. When she went back to Walmart to get me one, they didn't have any more and we've never seen another one like it. There is a small Bluetooth speaker out there that uses a small transmitter. It plugs into the ear phone jack and transmits to it's head phones. These kinds of speakers change quickly so like I said, if you find one you like, you should buy it there and then because it might not be there when you go back.

I'm not looking for something for nothing. I'm just concerned that I get the information I need with out being over charged.

Re: New to iPhone - typing text efficiently
To turn on touch typing first go inside of a edit field message email ETC next use two fingers to switch the rotor like a dial then look for typing modes then swipe up or down to switch to touch typing -Original Message- From: Andrew Lamanche Sent: Friday, November 08, 2013 12:24 PM To: VIPhone Subject: New to iPhone - typing text efficiently Listers, My iPhone 5C had arrived yesterday, and due to your past support and the information so devotedly published in many places by the generous users of iDevices, I had succeeded in setting it up. What a relief and joy!!! I've had some time today to play with it, and at the moment, the only trouble I seem to have is to type text efficiently so that it doesn't take me for ever. I see that some of you write fairly long messages to the group, others compose documents in Pages etc. How on earth do you accomplish it? An external bluetooth keyboard is not an option for me other than at home but then I have my computer which has a qwerty keyboard. I had great hopes for Braille Touch app but I have just realised how difficult it is to hold it in the way recommended and at the same time use the fingers to produce letters. I failed miserably! also, as others had mentioned, my right hand blocks the speaker so it is very discouraging. I had better luck with Fleksy. I turned my phone landscape and was able to use most of my fingers to type with a degree of accuracy provided my phone rested on the table. The iPhone native keyboard is very small indeed. I tried to find where I could change typing mode but it seems to be missing from the settings, or am I missing something? On the iPad you can change typing mode from split tap which I find slows me down, to touch typing which is a bit more efficient.

Re: TapTapSee
To the Android team: Why should my subscription pay for you to develop yor app for another platform when I don't use it? If you are going to charge me for a service then that's what I should be paying for. I don't have a problem paying you but if I do the service needs to be more accurate and I should be paying for what I am receiving not for an app I will probably never use.

Re: New to iPhone - typing text efficiently
Andrew, Don't forget that in many of the data entry apps you also have the option of using Dictation or Handwriting mode. To deploy Dictation, locate the Space bar on the on-screen keyboard, slide you finger gently to the left until you locate the Dictation button and tap it to activate. You will be told how to terminate Dictation mode when you've completed your data or text input. You can add punctuation in your messages by stating them as Exclamation Mark, comma or period to mention a few. Or, you can use handwriting if you know what the appearance of letters, numerals and punctuation looks like.

Re: Cases for iPhone 5C which allow access to the screen
Quite a few cases wrap around the sides of the phone and the back leaving the front free. To get further protection for your screen, you can purchase a screen protector which adheres to the screen. In fact, you can use a screen protector without a case if you'd like. There are also tactile screen protectors, from companies like SpeedDots, which give you a few braille dots on the screen to give you some anchor points to help with navigation around the screen.

RE: TapTapSee
I have never gotten the stellar results some of you have with this app, so I know I will get 100 to start with, I just seem not to have a knack at all as far as the camera is concerned, nothing is overly successful for me. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of David Chittenden Sent: Thursday, November 07, 2013 11:11 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: TapTapSee The fact is, during their campaign on KickStarter last year to raise the funding for CamFind, they reported that TapTapSee was costing them $150 USD per day to run. I am sure the cost for them is even higher than that amount now since TapTapSee has become even more popular. Unlike the other two apps you mention, TapTapSee sends the image to paid sighted staff if image matching does not come up with a 100% match. I find it quite interesting how so many are so happy when others pay handsomely for helping us, but when we are asked to support the effort, we become quite upset; like we are being betrayed.

Of course when Fleksy which I think started out at $14.99, went free after first dropping to $4.99 just as many people complained because they wanted Fleksy right away so they spent the money. Well, it happens all the time, prices go up and just because Tap Tap See was free that doesn't mean it has to remain so or should remain so. After all, the people behind Tap Tap See do have to have to live as well. What if Tap Tap See had started out costing $4.99 for 100 pictures and then went up to $7.99, would people have complained as much? I think the most important thing, however, is that everybody who has something to say regarding the cost whether it's good or bad should also CC cont...@taptapseeapp.com because the developer, Image Searcher, is who really needs to hear this. If people want them to reconsider their model or pricing they have to let them know and it's not reasonable to assume or expect that they should monitor the list for all these messages. Before I found the Tweet on their website confirming that they are switching to a subscription or pay per use model, I wrote to them asking for clarification since even right now as I am writing this message I don't have an update nor have I seen any message asking me to pay. I'm sure it's only a matter of time, but since there seemed to be conflicting information out there at first with some getting the message and some not, I just went on their website and send a support email. As I stated before, I will most likely buy the 100 images for $7.99 since occasionally I do find the app extremely useful, but I will probably use Camfind (same developer) and Talking Goggles first and only fall back on Tap Tap See if I can't get a good result. It's not as if there are no alternatives, there are in fact, many and I suspect 100 pictures will last me half a year in which case the price is not an issue. I do, however, agree that $10 a month is a bit steep, in fact, I think a good monthly subscription price would be $4.99 and it would be nice if they added an annual subscription, say for $39.99 or even $49.99 and they could even offer a 3-year subscription like Sendero for say $99.99 and then people who really use the service a lot would have a pretty reasonable way to get it and use it as much as they want. Let's hope Image Searcher is open towards considering other options and of course if they do charge they are hopefully commited to keeping the updates coming and to improving the service. I think at this point they do deserve the benefit of the doubt and a chance to maybe respond and react to whatever feedback you all are hopefully sending to them as well.

I see that some of you write fairly long messages to the group, others compose documents in Pages etc. How on earth do you accomplish it? An external bluetooth keyboard is not an option for me other than at home but then I have my computer which has a qwerty keyboard. I had great hopes for Braille Touch app but I have just realised how difficult it is to hold it in the way recommended and at the same time use the fingers to produce letters. I failed miserably! also, as others had mentioned, my right hand blocks the speaker so it is very discouraging. I had better luck with Fleksy. I turned my phone landscape and was able to use most of my fingers to type with a degree of accuracy provided my phone rested on the table. The iPhone native keyboard is very small indeed. I tried to find where I could change typing mode but it seems to be missing from the settings, or am I missing something? On the iPad you can change typing mode from split tap which I find slows me down, to touch typing which is a bit more efficient. I know it's early days for me but answering text messages and writing short e-mails is something I need to do fairly quickly. I tried Siri for the first time, and I'm [proud to say that I had managed to send a text, place a phone-call and ask for my location. Siri couldn't always understand me though. The volume up and down buttons do not seem to change the volume of Voiceover much. Is this how it should be? Thanks for any tips, and thanks for your support.

Re: Tap TapSee
I am not surprised that taptapSee had to change to a subscription and knew it was a matter of time. I have considered purchasing the 100 pictures but honestly I really would like to have the ability to let the person know what information I am needing. I have sometimes had to use 6 pics in order to get the information I need. Now, this isn't every time, by any means. Sometimes one picture is all that is necessary. Once, I was told that I had a red and white spice bottle, I took another picture without turning the bottle because I knew from experience that the printed label was where I was pointing the camera, and then it gave me the correct information. when on the subscription, I don't want to waste pictures on needless information which I already know. I know that some people mentioned that getting bad pictures is the fault of the picture taker. However, when you have zero usable vision it isn't always easy to know whether you have the correct distance/lighting etc. I had 20/20 vision in the past and understand how to take a picture. Much of the time I have success when using taptapSee. I would just like a short edit box to let them know that I would like the name of the spice, the pattern on the shirt, the type of milk etc. Kellie, guide Loki and retired July -Original Message- From: Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Friday, November 08, 2013 12:06 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Tap TapSee Hi Alia, Everybody is entitled to their opinion, but I for one am happy to see that by far the majority of people seem to understand that you can't run a business by spending money and not have any come in. I own a retail business and if I sold all the product I have to buy and have in inventory for what I paid for it or for a 5% margin I would be out of business faster than a puppydog can wag its tail. Tap Tap See already stated that they will release an update within a week which addresses the issue of failed pictures. Will you some time take a picture which comes back with a result but a useless result? Yes, most likely, but on the bright side this may encourage all of us blind folks to ask sighted friends or family members to help us develop our picture taking skills. I think it's totally cool to use other apps, many of us have been doing this all along, but I think if you learn to be good at taking pictures and combine Tap Tap See with other apps then 100 pictures would last you at least a couple of months maybe even 3, 4 or 5 months. This means you may spend anywhere from $4 to $2 or even a bit less per month on this and if easy and reliable recognition is important to you than I don't think that is an outrageous price. Having said this it would be nice if Tap Tap See could offer an unlimited annual package at a subscription cost of say $99, then those who use Tap Tap See a lot have a way to get it for a slightly discounted price and if you were to watch for an iTunes Gift Card promo where you could buy 2 $50 cards for $40 each, you would actually only pay $80 a year or $6.66 a month for unlimited use. I think most people will buy the 100 picture pack and see how long it will take them to use it, I just don't use the app often enough to warrant spending even $5 a month. But I will most definitely buy the 100 pictures for $7.99 so I can continue to use the app and also to support the company and it is my guess the 100 pictures will last me close to half a year; I do really like Talking Goggles a lot of time because quite often I can get a result in video mode very quickly which is enough to tell me what I am trying to identify.

Re: TapTapSee
John, The Android app does not have a timeline for release at the moment. It's true that we are working on it, but due to these events we are taking our time. The subscriptions will primarily pay for the service on iOS. Only a small portion will go toward the development of the Android version of the app. Best Wishes, On Friday, November 8, 2013 10:51:57 AM UTC-8, John Diakogeorgiou wrote: To the Android team: Why should my subscription pay for you to develop yor app for another platform when I don't use it? If you are going to charge me for a service then that's what I should be paying for. I don't have a problem paying you but if I do the service needs to be more accurate and I should be paying for what I am receiving not for an app I will probably never use.

My sighted son and I spent that night taking pictures of everything in sight just to see if we could find something it had no clue what that is. As I recall, that particular night we failed horribly. Sense that time my picture taking has been based on need to know rather then a play thing. I think of myself as an average blind person and guess this was pretty much the case with everybody.

RE: Tap TapSee
In the past, if I try three pictures for one item and get no results, I move on, I probably have not used the app 100 times in the past 10 months, that said, the reason I don't use it a lot as unlike many of you, my results have been pretty spotty, but then I have that problem with all camera apps, can't even take my own picture and get it right which is probably why I would buy the 100 pictures at least for now, if I use them in a month and have to buy more, it is still less expensive than the monthly charge, and if it takes me 10 months to use up my 100 then, well I come out the winner on that deal, will it keep me from experimenting when I have need or time, probably not, but then again, depending where I am in the cycle I may be deciding if the info I want is truly necessary. I have not actually opened the app since July when I was trying to read the LED display on the ice machine, that did not work but I was not at all surprised by that result either. Successful pictures would be a great idea but who determines what is a success, I may get enough to help me determine what the bottle or jar is but someone else may want a lot more so, I will take no more than five pictures of any object then do something else. What I do like is regardless of cost, it is one more tool I can try to use when I need it. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Carol Pearson Sent: Thursday, November 07, 2013 11:56 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Tap TapSee Yes, I too would have a lot of bad pictures.

RE: Tap TapSee
Recognizer was a total loss for me, I had no pictures, no one to take the pictures at the time I tried, it is on the computer but not my phone, needing someone to take pictures of things for me to access them just isn't in the cards for me. Recognizer is one app I wish I had not bought. I found I was not a Fleksy fan either, but I won't ask for my money back, I bought it when it was $14, found that for me it just did not work well.

It will only recognise currency. For object recognition, Recognizer works quite well. It is also a one-time fee. It does not require an internet connection, but one must already have a good picture of the object in the database on one's iOS device. I remember well how much complaining occurred because it was so unreasonable that the developers would put out an app which required assistance from sighted people for getting the personal database set up. VizWiz is free and does the same thing TapTapSee does. However, VizWiz relies on volunteers, so sometimes delays can be very significant before one's picture is recognised. TapTapSee pays for the identification, so the recognition comes back very quickly. The fact is, this is an ongoing fee for TapTapSee, so a one-time charge would not cover the fees for very long considering that we blind are such an insignificant share of the market.

Tap Tap See outsources the identification of pictures to people who are paid for each image they recognize. Since some people may use the app a lot more, the provision of a one-time charge would have to be high enough that some users would subsidize others, and a charge for the app makes no accommodation for continued ongoing expenses incurred for continuing to do image recognition. Unless there is grant funding from somewhere else, i.e. a foundation or charity, then somebody has to pay for the people who respond to requests to have images recognized.

Re: New to iPhone - typing text efficiently
I really encourage you to give MBraille a try. It is smiler to BrailleTouch, but you can text, tweet, mail, call, and much more right in the app itself by typing commands. It’s a great app once you get the typing down. To use MBraille or BrailleTouch, hold the phone with the speaker on the right and the screen facing away from you. I usually press the phone’s back against my body and use that plus the pressure of my pinkies and thumbs to hold it in place. This provides a surprisingly sturdy platform and leaves my other six fingers free to start typing. It is very awkward at first, but once you do it for a while, you can get very good and fast. In fact, nowadays I almost never make a mistake; I use the app for a lot, from meeting notes to sending texts and tweets. The more you work on it, the better and more comfortable you will become with it. Don't give up on it yet.

I see that some of you write fairly long messages to the group, others compose documents in Pages etc. How on earth do you accomplish it? An external bluetooth keyboard is not an option for me other than at home but then I have my computer which has a qwerty keyboard. I had great hopes for Braille Touch app but I have just realised how difficult it is to hold it in the way recommended and at the same time use the fingers to produce letters. I failed miserably! also, as others had mentioned, my right hand blocks the speaker so it is very discouraging. I had better luck with Fleksy. I turned my phone landscape and was able to use most of my fingers to type with a degree of accuracy provided my phone rested on the table. The iPhone native keyboard is very small indeed. I tried to find where I could change typing mode but it seems to be missing from the settings, or am I missing something? On the iPad you can change typing mode from split tap which I find slows me down, to touch typing which is a bit more efficient. I know it's early days for me but answering text messages and writing short e-mails is something I need to do fairly quickly. I tried Siri for the first time, and I'm [proud to say that I had managed to send a text, place a phone-call and ask for my location. Siri couldn't always understand me though. The volume up and down buttons do not seem to change the volume of Voiceover much. Is this how it should be? Thanks for any tips, and thanks for your support.

Re: TapTapSee
But what if a picture is successfully sent, but it is blurry, dark, or for some other reason cannot be interpreted? Will that still count as a success and cost a credit?

How to edit a folder title
I'm using an iPhone 4 with iOS 7.0.3 and VoiceOver. Since upgrading to iOS 7 this is the first time I've tried to edit the name I previously gave to a folder. I'm opening the folder and focussing on the folder name which is announced as an edit box. But there is no tip announce as double tap to edit. When I do double tap the folder closes and I'm back to the main app home screen. What am I missing here?

Re: How to edit a folder title
try a double tap and hold, the same gesture you used in IOS 6. You can do this before opening the folder or while you're in the folder.

Re: talking goggles
THanks Seighard, I would never have figured all that out, I don't think! I think I'll go ahead and get the free version then. THough I am wondering now, since some people ha ve the same kinds of problems I do with other picture app with this one, I was just hoping this one would be better. But I will probably get it and try it out anyway. Patti On 11/8/2013 12:32 PM, Sieghard Weitzel wrote: Hi Patty, If you check the free version, it says In App Purchases at the bottom of the app description. If you double tap on this you get the following: Removes ads and enables links, $0.99 In other words, the free app works just the same, you can use it and it will work as good as the paid version, but you do get ads and if you decide to check any product online you do not have the ability to tap on any links provided. If you only want it to identify stuff you should go for the free version, then you can find out if Voiceover reads the ads and if they are annoying. If so you can just find the in app purchase button and pay the 99 Cents and the ads will be removed. I found in some apps where it said there were ads that Voiceover didn't even read them.
