Re: light detector

[Esther Levegnale]

hi, everyone, even though I myself can see light, sometimes during the day I 
cannot tell whether a light is on or off. This app is really really neat! 
Thanks for telling us all about it. Esther

 I found nothing about in-app purchases in the app store or in the app.
  
  
 Limitations of LITE version
 
 LITE version of Seeing Assistant Home has several limitations, such as: 
 
 Lack of Dropbox support,
 Only 5 codes can be created,
 Only 10 characters can be embedded in QR code,
 Lack of voice commands,
 Magnifying glass and Light Detector can be used only 1 minute every day.

 result in additional costs. Transition

might see it once again in their purchased apps. I looked on the app's

didn't seem to be any. So while i"m glad for news of its return I'm

I’ve had this for several years.  

 

Just checked the App Store.  It appears to be available, but you have to hunt 
through lots of apps to find it.  I found it on “page 9 of 25.”  On my phone it 
was at the top of the page.You should hear “Light Dectector, Utilities, 4 
stars, 5 ratings.”  It says it’s version 1.4, 7 y ago,   

The developer is Retina Italia Onlus

I looked for a light detector app in the app store, but found light detector

I didn’t realize until today that Seeing AI has a Light Dectector.  That’s good 
to know.  However I have the app called Light Detector, which I think may be 
the same one Regina mentioned.  I really like that app, and use it often.  It’s 
so easy!  You just tap the app, and it starts working right away when it opens. 
 No menus to deal with.

Hi Gradimir,

 

It looks like Seeing Assistant Home has had quite a bit of good development 
since I first tried it several years ago.

 

I do have a question.  It took a lot of digging through the tutorial to find 
the below section concerning the limitations of the light version which I

My question is, and I guess it is two questions, What is the cost of the

RE: A Big Hello and General Personal Apple-Related Updates from Mark

[Christopher Chaltain]

I buy my own router but use the modem provided by my cable company. I know 
others who also get their router through the cable company. I'm sure it's a 
money maker for the cable companies, otherwise why would they do it, but I 
don't think I'd consider it a rip off. If someone is willing to spend that 
money to get more piece of mind, especially for something that's become as 
critical as access to the internet, I'm not the one to tell them it's a rip off.

Make sure the mute switch is not on. 
Also, timers are different than alarms. No timers might be set, but alarms

Hi Gradimir,

It looks like Seeing Assistant Home has had quite a bit of good development 
since I first tried it several years ago.

I do have a question.  It took a lot of digging through the tutorial to find 
the below section concerning the limitations of the light version which I 
copied from the tutorial.
My question is, and I guess it is two questions, What is the cost of the 
non-light version and how does one find that version?
I found nothing about in-app purchases in the app store or in the app.


Limitations of LITE version

LITE version of Seeing Assistant Home has several limitations, such as:

  *   Lack of Dropbox support,
  *   Only 5 codes can be created,
  *   Only 10 characters can be embedded in QR code,
  *   Lack of voice commands,
  *   Magnifying glass and Light Detector can be used only 1 minute every day.

Warnings and disclaimer

Seeing Assistant Home uses internet connection to work. If you are not 
connected to WiFi network or do not have internet plan data transfer might 
result in additional costs. Transition Technologies is not responsible for any 
loss or additional costs resulting when using Seeing Assistant Home.

 Chris, you do not need a Wi-Fi 6 or 6E network for smart home devices.
 The main benefit of adding the 6 Ghz band is that a router can support
 up to 200 devices so unless you think you will have that many there is
 no huge benefit. Some of the most bandwidth hungry devices are security
 cameras, video doorbells and so on and even here you don't need Wi-Fi 6
 and in fact most of them on the market at this point don't even support

Cable TV and Internet here in my area in Maryland is very expensive. I used to

Hi Mark. I'm a big fan of the Apple TV plus series. They all seem to have AD 
and they are very well done. I've watched a ton of them so let me know if you 
want any suggestions  on some really good series to start watching. Glad you 
are doing well.

Subject: A Big Hello and General Personal Apple-Related Updates from Mark

Hello Everyone,

First, I am posting this to both lists because I know that a couple of 
questions I have can be answered by experts on either list.

Second, Happy Independence Day for those of us in the US.

1.
So I finally decided to give Apple One a try.  I have been resistant to it 
because I do not need all of the features included in the plan but, quite 
frankly, the billing is better when bundled.  I have to admit that being able 
to read the lyrics of songs that are playing, in Apple Music, is very, very 
nice.  Here is a question:  Is it possible to place VoiceOver focus such that 
as the lyric being sung is automatically read out by VO?

2.
With regard to Apple Fitness Plus:  Any suggestions as to how best to get 
started using the features in conjunction with my Apple Watch?

3.
Today, for the first time, I finally added a second card to Apple Pay.  I must 
say that I am extremely relieved that selecting the non-default card, at time 
of purchase, is so easy.  I had been reluctant to add a second card, for just 
that reason.

4.
Since I now have access to TV Plus, I guess I will give some of these, 
apparently, excellent new series a try. I am looking forward to watching 
Highjacked and Silo.

5.
I was just thinking that all of my interaction with the world, in terms of 
technology, is done via Apple products; accept for my two remaining hardworking 
and beloved PCs; one that is still running Windows 7  The Windows 7 PC is not 
connected to the internet.

6.
Now don't get me wrong, I love my Android devices but I cannot imagine using 
them as a primary means of navigating my life.

7.
Although a day late and a dollar short, with regard to the thread that asked 
about good WIFI routers, I prefer Linksys routers and range extenders.  In 
fact, I purchased 2 new range extenders for my home, just last week.  I was 
delighted to discover that when you connect to these devices, for the first 
time, on an iOS device, the device's built-in web interface automatically 
launches, prompting you for the required info.  Very, very, impressive.  In 
fact, now that I think about it, these new devices can tell you when they are 
in the best location, relative to other Linksys devices, on the same network.  
How wonderful technology can be; and the best part? We have only scratched the 
surface on all that is to come.

Finally, I hope you are all doing well and I do hope you will reply to this 
thread reporting your own personal Apple-related updates, also.

Mark

RE: light detector

[Karen Poulakos]

I didn’t realize until today that Seeing AI has a Light Dectector.  That’s good 
to know.  However I have the app called Light Detector, which I think may be 
the same one Regina mentioned.  I really like that app, and use it often.  It’s 
so easy!  You just tap the app, and it starts working right away when it opens. 
 No menus to deal with.

Hi, I really think it’s sad that seeing AI ditched the Light Detector. However, 
I found an app called Light Detector. It works very well. You just open it and 
it starts the highest loudest sound is that the light is on and then when you 
turn it off, it goes down to a low level of sound. That’s all that the app 
does. It’s called light detector. Hope that helps. On

Limitations of LITE version


LITE version of Seeing Assistant Home has several limitations, such as: 

*   Lack of Dropbox support,
*   Only 5 codes can be created,
*   Only 10 characters can be embedded in QR code,
*   Lack of voice commands,
*   Magnifying glass and Light Detector can be used only 1 minute every day.

Seeing Assistant Home uses internet connection to work. If you are not

result in additional costs. Transition Technologies is not responsible for any

RE: light detector

I've never not had it there.
So my guess is that either someone unselected it, or the app got corrupted 
until an update brought it back.
There is probably no way of knowing, but I'm glad you found it again.

OK, the tutorial in the app still lists all those restrictions.
Perhaps that could be updated soon to avoid confusion?

I will certainly do more testing/comparing with Seeing AI.  Nice to have 
another alternative.

Double tap on Menu, then settings, then Reorder channels.
Make sure Light says selected, if it doesn't, double tap it so it is selected 
and it will be there.

RE: light detector

[Richard Turner]

Seeing AI on my iPhone still has light detecter.

As I mentioned to Robert, check the Menu, settings, Rearrange channels and make 
sure it is saying selected on the light channel.

 

As far as I know, I am up to date with the app.

Hi, I really think it’s sad that seeing AI ditched the Light Detector. However, 
I found an app called Light Detector. It works very well. You just open it and 
it starts the highest loudest sound is that the light is on and then when you 
turn it off, it goes down to a low level of sound. That’s all that the app 
does. It’s called light detector. Hope that helps. On

Hi Gradimir,

 

It looks like Seeing Assistant Home has had quite a bit of good development 
since I first tried it several years ago.

 

I do have a question.  It took a lot of digging through the tutorial to find 
the below section concerning the limitations of the light version which I 
copied from the tutorial.

My question is, and I guess it is two questions, What is the cost of the 
non-light version and how does one find that version?

I found nothing about in-app purchases in the app store or in the app.

 

 


Limitations of LITE version


LITE version of Seeing Assistant Home has several limitations, such as: 

1.  Lack of Dropbox support,
2.  Only 5 codes can be created,
3.  Only 10 characters can be embedded in QR code,
4.  Lack of voice commands,
5.  Magnifying glass and Light Detector can be used only 1 minute every day.


Warnings and disclaimer


Seeing Assistant Home uses internet connection to work. If you are not 
connected to WiFi network or do not have internet plan data transfer might 
result in additional costs. Transition Technologies is not responsible for any 
loss or additional costs resulting when using Seeing Assistant Home.

What’s cooking at Supersense? A sneak peek at upcoming AI enhancements
At Supersense, we are committed to staying at the forefront of innovation and providing you with the best user experience. Our dedicated team has been hard at work, pushing the boundaries and incorporating the latest advancements in AI.
 We are also closely following the developments surrounding GPT-4 to ensure we deliver cutting-edge features to our users.
In the upcoming months, we have an exciting roadmap of enhancements that will take Supersense to the next level. Here's a sneak peek at what we have in store:
1. Tap-free Question Answering: Interact effortlessly with voice assistants to extract specific details from the scanned text. 
2. Intelligent Text Interpretation: Tackle complex documents with ease as Supersense extracts and presents the most crucial information on top. Focus on what matters most without the clutter.
3. User-assisted Text Modification: Say goodbye to scanning errors. Supersense will now assist you in modifying text by offering editing, reordering, and deleting options. Take control of your scanned content.

User Shout Out
We’ve been getting lots of feedback from our users and we’d like to take some time to share what they say. In our ongoing efforts to incorporate the latest AI enhancements into our document scanner, we are delighted to highlight a positive
 review posted on the App Store which specifically acknowledges its accuracy and ease of use. 
"This app includes the best scanner I have come across so far. It is very accurate, I would guess 99%. It is very easy to read mail very quickly if you put the scanner in document mode. The program will tell you how to move the phone so
 that it can get an accurate picture. It is wonderful, very easy to use, no errors where you get the left or right corners cut off or anything like that. The money reader is excellent. There are some experimental things, and I love the way they venture out
 to find new products. This is well worth the lifetime price that I paid. I am very happy with this product, and know that it will only get better as time passes."
We're very happy to see that Supersense enables many more creative solutions to our everyday lives with its constantly improving technology. 
We’re looking forward to sharing more thoughts in the coming months!

But considering that you are paying them probably a fairly good amount of money 
for your monthly servicve, I really have a problem with them charging for a 
modem which costs a few hundred Dollars. Chances are it is paid after 2 or 3 
years and I doubt they will stop charging  you.

Hmm, I know here in Canada we pay some of the highest prices for cell plans and 
also internet, but I certainly was never charged for a modem. I am currently 
with a relatively small regional provider as they have been installing fiber 
cables throughout our small community for years whereas Telus, the big player, 
can't be bothered to do so. When I first signed up for my business as well as 
my home to get a fiber connection the company sent out an installer who brought 
the fiber cable to my house/store from the street and then hooked up their 
modem and none of that cost me anything. Their modem does have Wi-Fi 
capabilities, but only has 2 ports if you want to hook up anything by cable so 
I prefer to have my Netgear Orbi router which at least gives me 4 ports and 
more control over the Wi-Fi.

Hi Sieghard,
My provider charges 15 dollars a month for their modem. That adds up to 180 US 
dollars a year. I bought my NetGear Modem/router in 2015 for 140 dollars, but 
saved myself at least 1200 dollars in the last eight years. I will look into 
buying a modem and a router, but will not  let my provider steal my money. I am 
already paying.close to 100 dollars for the service each month.

at work, pushing the boundaries and incorporating the latest advancements in 
AI. We are also closely following the developments surrounding GPT-4 to ensure 
we deliver cutting-edge features to our users.
In the upcoming months, we have an exciting roadmap of enhancements that will 
take Supersense to the next level. Here's a sneak peek at what we have in store:

User Shout Out
We’ve been getting lots of feedback from our users and we’d like to take some 
time to share what they say. In our ongoing efforts to incorporate the latest 
AI enhancements into our document scanner, we are delighted to highlight a 
positive review posted on the App Store which specifically acknowledges its 
accuracy and ease of use.
"This app includes the best scanner I have come across so far. It is very 
accurate, I would guess 99%. It is very easy to read mail very quickly if you 
put the scanner in document mode. The program will tell you how to move the 
phone so that it can get an accurate picture. It is wonderful, very easy to 
use, no errors where you get the left or right corners cut off or anything like 
that. The money reader is excellent. There are some experimental things, and I 
love the way they venture out to find new products. This is well worth the 
lifetime price that I paid. I am very happy with this product, and know that it 
will only get better as time passes."
We're very happy to see that Supersense enables many more creative solutions to 
our everyday lives with its constantly improving technology.
We’re looking forward to sharing more thoughts in the coming months!

RE: light detector

[Sieghard Weitzel]

The Light Detector channel of the Seeing AI app does the same thing and since 
it does so much more including currency recognition, instant on the fly OCR via 
video when you point your phone to any text as well as normal OCR where it 
takes a picture of a printed page + handwriting recognition, barcode 
recognition, people recognition and so on, the Seeing AI app is really one any 
blind person should have on their phone. Of course it is also nice that it is a 
free app developed by Microsoft which means there is small chance it will go 
away or become a  paid app. You can also set up Siri commands to directly 
access the various channels, e.g. you can set it  up so that when you say "Tell 
me if the light is on" or "Open Light Detector" that it will open the app and 
switch to that channel. You can also configure it to display the channels you 
use the most if you do a double tap and hold on the app on the home screen, 
e.g. you can set it up to show let's say "Light, Currency, Short Text and 
Product" and you can determine which order you want them to be in.

I have a very old app simply called light detector.  When you launch it it 
produces a tone.  The darker the area, the lower the tone.  When you get close 
to a light source the tone gets higher.  I don’t know if this app is still 
available in the app store.  I think it was one of the first apps I got some 10 
or so years ago.

Changes with Voice Dream apps
Have you heard the news? Learn about the changes and new names for our beloved 
Voice Dream apps!
Voice Dream Reader logo
img class="resource-featured-image-hero" 
src="https://www.perkins.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/voice_dream_icon.jpeg; 
alt="Voice Dream Reader logo"
Have you heard the news? The beloved Voice Dream apps are changing! The 
original developer, Winston Chen has turned Voice Dream Reader over to the 
Applause Group, a company able to sustain Voice Dream Reader. The name has been 
changed to Text to Speech TTS Voice Dream. TTS Voice Dream enables you to 
listen to PDFs, Web pages, and books using text-to-speech.
Note: On April 25, 2023, Voice Dream Reader became a subscription-based app for 
$59.99 per year. A free trial was available.
Voice Dream Scanner and Voice Dream Writer remain with Winston; although, he 
has formed a new company, Opus Noma and the app names have been changed to 
VDScan and VDWrite. VDScan is an OCR app used to scan inaccessible PDF or text 
image and converts the text to an accessible document that can be read by a 
screen reader. VDWrite is a text-to-speech writing app that reduces mistakes, 
helps you use the right words, and helps organize and improve the structure of 
your writing.
Winston’s press release
Dear Customers, Partners, and Friends,
I am delighted to announce that Voice Dream Reader has joined Applause Group as 
a leading product in their portfolio of apps.
Voice Dream Reader started 12 years ago as a side project during my sabbatical 
in Arctic Norway. Since then, it has evolved into the best text-to-speech 
reader, helping hundreds of thousands of people worldwide read for learning and 
fun. Winning Apple Design Award in 2021 was the crowning achievement of my 
professional life.
But I could not have done it without the users. You constantly provided me with 
ideas for improvements and inspired me with your personal stories of how Reader 
changed your lives. And I could not have done it without my partners and 
friends who supported me at every step. For that, I will be forever grateful.
While I look at the past with nostalgia, I also look to the future with 
excitement. Applause Group is committed to investing in Reader and turning it 
into a household name. It will be stewarded by a sustainable company instead of 
being completely dependent on me. And that is good news for everyone who relies 
on Reader every day.
With Reader going to a new home, Voice Dream Scanner and Writer will remain 
with me under a different company, Opus Noma. (Noma stands for my children Nora 
and Marcus.) And they will be renamed to VDScan and VDWrite. My new email 
address is winston.c...@opusnoma.com.
Happy reading, as we all look forward to a bright future.
Winston

RE: Adding Contacts

[Sieghard Weitzel]

If you mean can you dial a number and then get it to dial another number 
automatically after a pause then yes, just create a contact and after you enter 
the main phone number insert a comma and the other number. For example, if I 
call our local drug mart I have to press 4 and then 1 to be connected to 
customer service. Their number is 250-847-2288 so I create a contact and put +1 
(250) 847-2288,4,1 and this will dial the main number, there will be a 2 second 
delay which is enough time fo rtheir automatic attendant to start reading the 
options, then the 4 is dialed and the second menu comes up and 2 seconds later 
1 is pressed. If you find a 2 second delay is not long enough you can insert 2 
commas for a 4 second delay, at least I think each comma does 2 seconds.

RE: Accessible meat thermometer

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Thanks, I saw the phone number but since it was evening I couldn't call and I 
think I saw that they are not open on weekends, either. I took a look at the 
talking model they have and it's just too bad they didn't add a talking 
function to their Thermapen line of thermometers. The speaking model says it 
reads in 5 to 6 seconds which is really rather a long time when you want to 
take a few readings in a turkey or larger roast or if you want to check oil 
temperature on a stove top where the temperature changes quickly. The classic 
Thermapen reads in 2-3 seconds whereas the new Thermapen One reads in 1 second. 
I may just order one of those and see if an app like Seeing Ai can read the 
display and realistically in many situations where I want oil temperature I 
might be cooking with my sighted wife who could use it. My Louisiana Grill 
pellet barbecue as well as my GE oven has the ability to hook up temperature 
probes and I can see the temperature in the app.

RE: Open scape compared to VoiceVista

[Richard Turner]

It isn't open to the public at this time.

I suspect it will be announced here when it is.

I did a test last Sunday while in a car going about 50 miles from our home in

very good with points of interest or even highway names.

We went about 45 miles along interstate 84 until the town of Cascade Locks 
where there is a bridge called The Bridge of the Gods.  While the park near the 
bridge was identified, the bridge was not by either app.  It is a toll bridge, 
which was not mentioned either.

Once we got onto the highway in Washington, it took over a half a mile before 
the road we were on was identified.  Once in the town, going at about 20 or 25 
miles an hour, roads were not identified until after we had turned onto them.

 

I realize the apps are more intended for pedestrian speeds, but GoodMaps

will likely be called something like SoundScape for Everyone.  That one is also 
in beta and has a long way to go as far as locations are concerned.

 

It is great to see that so many groups are trying to utilize what Microsoft

Re: Using Voicevista for turn by turn directions

['Mervin Keck III' via VIPhone]

That is exactly what I was hoping for. I like the easy way of recording and 
setting markers. However I would also like to be able to have the change of 
direction automatically voiced without having to press a button.
I have a paid app and have never been able to figure out how to accomplish 
these two tasks with blind square or I would have been using that because I 
like the way it uses my watch.

RE: Using Voicevista for turn by turn directions

[Steve Cook]

Using VoiceVista, is their way you can set the app to announce what is ahead of 
you by moving the phone instead of tapping the button? With Sound Scape we were 
able to do this.

Exactly, so my question is whether you can use VoiceVista for turn by turn 
directions, and if so, how would you do it since the route tab doesn’t seem to 
be the way to go. Maybe you need to use voiceVista in conjunction with 
something like Apple Maps.

I don't think it does that. It looks to me like you have to have dropped a 
bunch of waypoints along a route and then you can create a route out of those 
waypoints. It says on the route screen:

 

 

Create a route for yourself or for someone else by organizing a set of markers 
as waypoints on a route. While out on your route with VoiceVista, you will be 
informed on arrival to each waypoint, and the Audio Beacon will automatically 
advance to the next waypoint.

Re: light detector

[Richard Turner]

Hi Gradimir,

 

It looks like Seeing Assistant Home has had quite a bit of good development 
since I first tried it several years ago.

 

I do have a question.  It took a lot of digging through the tutorial to find 
the below section concerning the limitations of the light version which I 
copied from the tutorial.

My question is, and I guess it is two questions, What is the cost of the 
non-light version and how does one find that version?

I found nothing about in-app purchases in the app store or in the app.

 

 


Limitations of LITE version


LITE version of Seeing Assistant Home has several limitations, such as: 

*   Lack of Dropbox support,
*   Only 5 codes can be created,
*   Only 10 characters can be embedded in QR code,
*   Lack of voice commands,
*   Magnifying glass and Light Detector can be used only 1 minute every day.


Warnings and disclaimer


Seeing Assistant Home uses internet connection to work. If you are not 
connected to WiFi network or do not have internet plan data transfer might 
result in additional costs. Transition Technologies is not responsible for any 
loss or additional costs resulting when using Seeing Assistant Home.

Make sure Light says selected, if it doesn't, double tap it so it is selected

RE: Using Voicevista for turn by turn directions

[Christopher Chaltain]

Yeah, I did mean Good Maps Outdoors. Sometimes my typing just goes into 
autopilot mode. Thanks for the correction and clarification.

Not to be overly picky, Goodmaps explore is primarily for indoor travel where 
their beacons have been set up, while it can do some outdoor. GoodMaps Outdoors 
is the one for outdoor travel.
I knowledge you know that, but wanted to be sure.

Yes, I suspect you’re right. I did switch back to Good Maps Explorer just to

Vista.

At this stage, I think VoiceVista is not useful for turn by turn directions at 
all. Stick with Apple Maps, Google Maps, GoodMaps Outdoors if you want turn by 
turn directions to some place you have not been before. I think VoiceVista 
could be used to say drop a bunch of way points while out for a walk and then 
string a route together to retrace your steps or something like that.
But, that is just a guess.

I don't think it does that. It looks to me like you have to have dropped a 
bunch of waypoints along a route and then you can create a route out of those 
waypoints. It says on the route screen:


Create a route for yourself or for someone else by organizing a set of markers 
as waypoints on a route. While out on your route with VoiceVista, you will be 
informed on arrival to each waypoint, and the Audio Beacon will automatically 
advance to the next waypoint.

Open scape compared to VoiceVista

[Jody ianuzzi]

I have been using the open scape beta for a couple of days now and I really 
like it! It has many of the great features of Soundscape in addition you can 
even have shortcuts for many of the features. Yesterday I downloaded VoiceVista 
as the new app for Soundscape. It seems much more limited tThan Soundscape and 
Openscape.   

What do you all think?

Our provider charges six dollars a month for modem - worth it to me, since, if

Hmm, I know here in Canada we pay some of the highest prices for cell plans and 
also internet, but I certainly was never charged for a modem. I am currently 
with a relatively small regional provider as they have been installing fiber 
cables throughout our small community for years whereas Telus, the big player, 
can't be bothered to do so. When I first signed up for my business as well as 
my home to get a fiber connection the company sent out an installer who brought 
the fiber cable to my house/store from the street and then hooked up their 
modem and none of that cost me anything. Their modem does have Wi-Fi 
capabilities, but only has 2 ports if you want to hook up anything by cable so 
I prefer to have my Netgear Orbi router which at least gives me 4 ports and 
more control over the Wi-Fi.

Hi Sieghard,
My provider charges 15 dollars a month for their modem. That adds up to 180 US 
dollars a year. I bought my NetGear Modem/router in 2015 for 140 dollars, but 
saved myself at least 1200 dollars in the last eight years. I will look into 
buying a modem and a router, but will not  let my provider steal my money. I am 
already paying.close to 100 dollars for the service each month.

Hello Ron,

Yoour link is just to the main Thermoworks website and not a specific, in this 
cajse, talking food thermometer. They have literally dozens and maybe hundreds 
of products and while I spend a bit of time on their website looking at many of 
their very interesting products, I did not see a reference to a talking 
thermometer. Do you have a name for it?

Hi Group,

Now just what this has to do with the iPhone, I don't know, but as long as the 
topic hasn't been locked, here is a great talking Thermometer. It is from 
Thermoworks.
https://www.thermoworks.com/

Thermoworks Talking Thermometer
phone: 801 756 7705
Model: RT-8400

This is a simple analog thermometer that does not connect to WiFi or echo or 
Google home devices. You just insert it into a piece of food and press the 
button and a clear female voice announces the temperature. At last report, it 
costs about $40 US.

No offense, but did you make sure you bought the right one? I just looked it up 
on Amazon Canada and they do make non-talking models as well.
Anyways, I am going to order one so I guess I will find out.

Weird, I tried that brand and for some reason the talking feature never worked.

advancements in AI. We are also closely following the developments
surrounding GPT-4 to ensure we deliver cutting-edge features to our users.

In the upcoming months, we have an exciting roadmap of enhancements that
will take Supersense to the next level. Here's a sneak peek at what we have
in store:

1. Tap-free Question Answering: Interact effortlessly with voice assistants
to extract specific details from the scanned text.

User Shout Out

We’ve been getting lots of feedback from our users and we’d like to take
some time to share what they say. In our ongoing efforts to incorporate the
latest AI enhancements into our document scanner, we are delighted to
highlight a positive review posted on the App Store which specifically
acknowledges its accuracy and ease of use.

"This app includes the best scanner I have come across so far. It is very
accurate, I would guess 99%. It is very easy to read mail very quickly if
you put the scanner in document mode. The program will tell you how to move
the phone so that it can get an accurate picture. It is wonderful, very
easy to use, no errors where you get the left or right corners cut off or
anything like that. The money reader is excellent. There are some
experimental things, and I love the way they venture out to find new
products. This is well worth the lifetime price that I paid. I am very
happy with this product, and know that it will only get better as time
passes."

We're very happy to see that Supersense enables many more creative
solutions to our everyday lives with its constantly improving technology.

We’re looking forward to sharing more thoughts in the coming months!

Changes with Voice Dream apps

Have you heard the news? Learn about the changes and new names for our
beloved Voice Dream apps!

Voice Dream Reader logo

img class="resource-featured-image-hero" src="
https://www.perkins.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/voice_dream_icon.jpeg;
alt="Voice Dream Reader logo"

Have you heard the news? The beloved Voice Dream apps are changing! The
original developer, Winston Chen has turned Voice Dream Reader over to the
Applause Group, a company able to sustain Voice Dream Reader. The name has
been changed to Text to Speech TTS Voice Dream. TTS Voice Dream enables you
to listen to PDFs, Web pages, and books using text-to-speech.

Note: On April 25, 2023, Voice Dream Reader became a subscription-based app
for $59.99 per year. A free trial was available.

Voice Dream Scanner and Voice Dream Writer remain with Winston; although,
he has formed a new company, Opus Noma and the app names have been changed
to VDScan and VDWrite. VDScan is an OCR app used to scan inaccessible PDF
or text image and converts the text to an accessible document that can be
read by a screen reader. VDWrite is a text-to-speech writing app that
reduces mistakes, helps you use the right words, and helps organize and
improve the structure of your writing.

Winston’s press release

Dear Customers, Partners, and Friends,

I am delighted to announce that Voice Dream Reader has joined Applause
Group as a leading product in their portfolio of apps.

Voice Dream Reader started 12 years ago as a side project during my
sabbatical in Arctic Norway. Since then, it has evolved into the best
text-to-speech reader, helping hundreds of thousands of people worldwide
read for learning and fun. Winning Apple Design Award in 2021 was the
crowning achievement of my professional life.

But I could not have done it without the users. You constantly provided me
with ideas for improvements and inspired me with your personal stories of
how Reader changed your lives. And I could not have done it without my
partners and friends who supported me at every step. For that, I will be
forever grateful.

While I look at the past with nostalgia, I also look to the future with
excitement. Applause Group is committed to investing in Reader and turning
it into a household name. It will be stewarded by a sustainable company
instead of being completely dependent on me. And that is good news for
everyone who relies on Reader every day.

With Reader going to a new home, Voice Dream Scanner and Writer will remain
with me under a different company, Opus Noma. (Noma stands for my children
Nora and Marcus.) And they will be renamed to VDScan and VDWrite. My new
email address is winston.c...@opusnoma.com.

Happy reading, as we all look forward to a bright future.

Winston

Re: Using Voicevista for turn by turn directions

Why don't you use GoodMaps Outdoors? It will give you the information you seek.

  Exactly, so my question is whether you can use VoiceVista for turn by turn 
directions, and if so, how would you do it since the route tab doesn’t seem to 
be the way to go. Maybe you need to use voiceVista in conjunction with 
something like Apple Maps.

  I don't think it does that. It looks to me like you have to have dropped a 
bunch of waypoints along a route and then you can create a route out of those 
waypoints. It says on the route screen:

   

   

  Create a route for yourself or for someone else by organizing a set of 
markers as waypoints on a route. While out on your route with VoiceVista, you 
will be informed on arrival to each waypoint, and the Audio Beacon will 
automatically advance to the next waypoint.

I was using voiceVista the other day, and it seemed pretty cool, but I 
wasn’t able to figure out how to get turn by turn directions out of it. Is this 
possible, and where would I go to do it? The route tab just seems to let me 
define and name a route.
