Well, it has not worked for me since IOS 9.0.  

Using iPhone 6 and IOS 9.2.

Hi Alan,

 

I don’t know why you, Rose and some others have no luck with Talking Goggles. I 
just redownloaded it on my 5S and it works just fine, if anything I’d say it 
reads more and better than it did last time I used it which was quite some time 
ago.

I just tried talking goggles too and no results.  To bad too because talking 
googles worked great for me when trying to read the digital display on my 
washing machine.

Hi Sieghard. 

 

The app I found with the name AIPoly is called AIPoly vision,, is this the 
correct one? I can not find the video tab but a tab called objects.

 

Hope someone can help.

 

I miss a replacement for goggles it does not work anymore.

Best regards Annie.

whatever the normal Tylonol incredient is and the generic name is

I then used Talking Goggles on it in video mode and it read all sorts of stuff 
to me including a lot number, expiry date, the word “acetaminophen”, “8mg 
Codeine” etc. Definitely a lot more useful than “Medicine” or “Pills”.

Re: Talking Goggles versus AIPoly

[Joney]

After trying AIpoly, I was a little disappointed. I didn't try the object part, 
is that subjective, and how you hold the camera, and where your objects are. 
What you think you're aiming yet, you might not be. However, the color part, 
disappointed me. I had a top on, which I knew was blue with white snowflakes. I 
can understand the color coming back as gray, since the blue-and-white might 
merge at some point but pink? Or purple? I don't think so. Black pants, or 
black coat, came back gray, dark blue, so I was a little disappointed in the 
color. Perhaps I was aiming incorrectly as well. I'm going to try the goggles 
app, and see how it does too.

Hello,
I haven't tried that, but,  if,  you flick up from the bottom of page 1 to 5, 
you can't bypass, without disabling. As said, though,  haven't tried your

Hello,
Not Alan, but  there are 5 pages. The fifth says you're now ready to go or 
something, and neither did flicking, and or explore by touch yielded anything, 
but turning off VO, and randomly touching the screen has worked 4 out of 4 
attempts.

RE: Talking Goggles versus AIPoly

[Kramlinger, Keith G., M.D.]

The first time through it will ask you, twice in my case, if I wanted to give 
aipoly access to my camera, which of course you want to do. If you don't the 
app won't work. Keith

This is not correct, you can get through the welcome screens of Aipoly and use 
the app just fine without ever disabling Voiceover.
You just do a right to left 3-finger swipe to move through the welcome screens, 
the last swipe when you are on the fifth welcome screen will take you to the 
main screen of the app. You can now double tap the Toggle Aipoly button to 
start and point the iPhone at objects you want to recognize. You may have to 
touch the screen once at the beginning somewhere in the middle to hear the 
result, once focus is on that result/area of the screen it will read 
automatically as you point elsewhere.

RE: Talking Goggles versus AIPoly

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Are you sure it didn’t say “bald monkey” or “old geezer”? *grin*

I haven’t yet had the courage to try it on my face, afraid it will say 
“Neanderthal”, “ugly kraut” or something like that.

Assuming the “it” you are talking about is AIPoly, did you give it permission 
to use the camera?

If you toggle VoiceOver off while using the app, it speaks with its own voice, 
or rather the iPhone’s own voice.

Otherwise, you have to get the VoiceOver focus on the spot just about the 
toggle AIPoly button so VoiceOver can read the information.

That's easy.  I can swip through the information about the app but that button 
their talking about is not there.  I even tried the home button.  All that did 
was to take me out of the app like it should.  I have also uninstalled the app

Assuming the “it” you are talking about is AIPoly, did you give it permission 
to use the camera?

If you toggle VoiceOver off while using the app, it speaks with its own voice, 
or rather the iPhone’s own voice.

Otherwise, you have to get the VoiceOver focus on the spot just about the 
toggle AIPoly button so VoiceOver can read the information.

Hi Alan,

 

I don’t know why you, Rose and some others have no luck with Talking Goggles. I 
just redownloaded it on my 5S and it works just fine, if anything I’d say it 
reads more and better than it did last time I used it which was quite some time 
ago.

RE: Talking Goggles versus AIPoly

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Kerri,

Talking Goggles was updated in mid August last year so I would say yes, it is 
still being updated although there has been no update since iOS 9 came out, but 
since it seems to work fine there may not be a reason to update it.

I haven't tried VizWiz in a long time and I don't think it's even I the app 
store any more. Last time I tried it maybe a year ago I still had no answer 24 
hours after I submitted a question. I suggest that if you can't get anywhere 
with Camfind, Tap Tap See or Talking Goggles you might want to give "Be my 
Eyes" a try. It is free and it's supposed to connect you to an actual person 
via Facetime in a secure way (they will not see your phone number, where you 
are from etc.) and you can ask them questions and show them whatever you want 
to know about. Crowdvis does the same thing, but I think there is a small 
charge after a few free trial calls.

Regards,
Sieghard

Hi:

Is it still being updated and maintained and everything? Is it still usable?
Should I uninstall Goggles and install Ipolly instead?
I also have VizWiz...is that app still usable?
Thanks!

RE: Talking Goggles versus AIPoly

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Krister,

 

With Aipoly you really don’t need much skill. If you can point your iPhone in 
the direction you are looking or pointing and you can hold it more or less 
vertical it will see the object and speak it.

 

I won’t go over all the instructions on how to get through the intro screens of 
Aipoly again since it’s been explained several times now by Pamela, Richard, 
myself and others.

 

Annie, yes, the Object tab is where you want to be for object recognition, the 
colour tab is where you want to be if you want to identify colours. Then all 
you have to do is double tap the “Toggle Aipoly” button, not sure why the 
developers didn’t just label it “Start” or “Start Recognizing”, maybe somebody 
can suggest to them they should change this as it would be more descriptive.

 

Regards,

Sieghard

RE: Talking Goggles versus AIPoly

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Alan,

 

You do the same 3-finger swipe from left to right you use to switch home pages. 
Once on the last welcome screen you swipe one more time and you are then on the 
main screen of the app. That particular screen is layed out in a simple and 
easy to figure out way with 4 tabs along the bottom: Object, Colour (for colour 
identification), Settings and Info.

Above that there is a “Pencil” button on the right (above Info tab and a 
“Toggle Aipoly” button (sort of above the Settings and Colour tabs).

Right now I have my iPhone 5S laying camera down on a table which means it 
can’t really see anything so it also says on the screen “Point me at an object 
and press the button”.

The “Toggle Aipoly” button is basically your start button, when you first open 
the app you have to double tap on that so it starts “seeing” things.

I now figured out how it reads automatically as well. First when I started it 
it wouldn’t say anything, then I touched the middle of the screen and it said 
“Dresser” because I was pointing I t towards the dresser in the bedroom. I then 
moved it a bit to the left and it then said “Curtains” so it seems that once 
you put focus on the area of the screen where it shows the result of what it 
sees, it will then read automatically if you move the phone and it sees 
something else.

As Richard pointed out, if you turn Voiceover off it will also read what it 
sees with I think the compact voice, but it certainly isn’t necessary to turn 
off Voiceover as long as you put focus on the result once and then don’t touch 
anything else.

It will sometimes also say “Background” or “I’m not sure” if it can’t identify 
what it is seeing.

All in all not a bad start although as I said yesterday, it failed badly when 
it comes to identifying a specific type of medication I showed it, all it said 
was Pills, Medicine or Prescription. I haven’t tried it yet with food items, 
cans and so on, but my guess is that it would just tell you it’s a can. Maybe 
down the road they can make it do more.

 

 

Regards,

Sieghard

RE: Talking Goggles versus AIPoly

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Richard,

 

On my 5S it is reading what is sees automatically and that is with Voiceover on.

 

Alan, can you describe exactly what happens after you open he app? Do you swipe 
through all the intro screens? If so, what does it do when you are on the main 
screen?

Sieghard

Assuming the “it” you are talking about is AIPoly, did you give it permission 
to use the camera?

If you toggle VoiceOver off while using the app, it speaks with its own voice, 
or rather the iPhone’s own voice.

Otherwise, you have to get the VoiceOver focus on the spot just about the 
toggle AIPoly button so VoiceOver can read the information.

RE: Talking Goggles versus AIPoly

[Richard Turner]

Assuming the “it” you are talking about is AIPoly, did you give it permission 
to use the camera?

If you toggle VoiceOver off while using the app, it speaks with its own voice, 
or rather the iPhone’s own voice.

Otherwise, you have to get the VoiceOver focus on the spot just about the 
toggle AIPoly button so VoiceOver can read the information.

Re: Talking Goggles versus AIPoly

[Wayne Merritt]

In AiPoly, in order to hear the descriptions read continuously, you
will have to turn VoiceOver off. This is after you hit the button to
recognize an object. I have had mixed success with it, some things it
gets right and some, well, not so much. It identified a can of diet
soda as lotion, medicine, and a bank note. It is entertaining to
change the setting for object recognition to likelihood and fun, just
to hear what it says even if the object is identified wrong.

Re: Talking Goggles versus AIPoly

Hello,
Goggles don't work for me, at all. As for the other, open the screen, select 
the items tab, go on the top, there's something that sounds like hit the 
bullet. Either above or below that, if you aim it at an item, it should tell 
you what it is. My hand is skin, the cat is fur, etc.

Re: Talking Goggles versus AIPoly

[Kerri Kosten]

Hi:
I have Goggles on my phone.
Is it still being updated and maintained and everything? Is it still usable?
Should I uninstall Goggles and install Ipolly instead?
I also have VizWiz...is that app still usable?
Thanks!

Re: Talking Goggles versus AIPoly

[Krister Ekstrom]

Hi,
I think the whole thing about this is that you have to be skilled in handling 
the camera on the phone or iPad in order for it to work. I have never learned 
to take photos or handle the camera on the phone because i have always thought 
and still think that i as a blind person never am able to take satisfactory 
pictures without a whole truckload of guesswork so i’ve left that bit alone and 
so my results with apps like Goggles and Aipoly is soso at best. Only thing i 
can do is congratulate all those who actually can make it work because i can’t 
but that’s not the programs fault, it’s entirely mine.

Re: Talking Goggles versus AIPoly

I installed aipoly last night and can’t find any way to make it work.  No 
matter where I tap on the screen, nothing.  As far as Goggles, nothing does 
anything.  Andy and Shubert

Hi Sieghard. 

The app I found with the name AIPoly is called AIPoly vision,, is this the 
correct one? I can not find the video tab but a tab called objects.

Hope someone can help.

I miss a replacement for goggles it does not work anymore.
Best regards Annie.

Re: Talking Goggles versus AIPoly

[Annie Skov Nielsen]

Hi Sieghard.

The app I found with the name AIPoly is called AIPoly vision,, is this the 
correct one? I can not find the video tab but a tab called objects.

Hope someone can help.

I miss a replacement for goggles it does not work anymore.
Best regards Annie.

RE: Talking Goggles versus AIPoly

[Merv Keck]

I was teaching a class today and while waiting for a student to arrive I 
demonstrated AIPoly to a visually impaired student who was wearing a white 
sweater and it said underwear, laughs! She was a little intrigued I think,

Subject: Talking Goggles versus AIPoly

 

I just installed AIPoly and it definitely has potential. A nice, simple layout 
and on my 5S it automatically announced what it say after a couple of seconds. 
I was pointing it at various areas in the room I am currently in and it said 
things like “Closet”, “Door”, “Furniture”, “Curtains” etc.

I then held a bottle of generic Tylonol 1 up to it, this is the stuff we can 
get here in Canada that has 8mg of Codeine as well as some Caffeine along with 
whatever the normal Tylonol incredient is and the generic name is 
“acetaminophen” and all AIPoly told me when I showed it various views of the 
bottle was “Pills”, “Medicine” or “prescription”.

I then used Talking Goggles on it in video mode and it read all sorts of stuff 
to me including a lot number, expiry date, the word “acetaminophen”, “8mg 
Codeine” etc. Definitely a lot more useful than “Medicine” or “Pills”.

 

 

Regards,

Sieghard
