 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

 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.

 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?

Re: Reading prescription labels

CVS has a system called Spoken Rx.
The pharmacy encodes the label and the CVS app has a feature to read it.

You could gently remove the label and get Seeing A I to read it. I guess LiDAR 
could, if you have it?

The problem is reading on the curve. The best solution is to get the pharmacy 
to connect with Envision America and their ScrirtTalk program which gives 
visually impaired people access to all of the medication info including the 
prescription number and refills remaining, etc.
You could try Voice Dream Scanner.

Hi,

Using my iPhone, what would be the best app to read the label on my

the medication?

I tried seeing ai but it didn't work very well at all. The rx number
was too high on the label and the container lid got in the way I
think.

Re: how to listen to major league games from a previous day

2021-04-04 Thread 'Paul D'Addario' via VIPhone 
yes, it is possible.
Below is what I did today:
i double tapped on the MLB audio  tab 
there is a button : previous day 
I double tapped and screen displayed previous day games.
I double tapped on pirates vs. cubs and the broadcast of yesterday's game began 
, from the beginning 
There were  buttons to select games from other dates as well.
hope this helps.

MLB Skill. Last year it never worked and I have no idea if it is back on track 
this year. I would test it out and let you know but I am out of town for a week
