 Am I the only one that’s receiving an error message while trying to access
the Blind Bargains articles and other content stating that ads failed to
load? I’ve tried this on multiple devices from multiple locations with the
same result. Ads don’t load so articles and other content won’t load. I’m
not using an ad blocker.

TapTapSee yields more detailed descriptions than in years past, including

For now, the free apps for iOS and Android continue to use the cloud-based 
approach, though it is now theoretically possible for someone to create an app

Aside from uses for the blind and visually impaired, object recognition can be

Dave,
Am I the only one that's receiving an error message while trying to 
access the Blind Bargains articles and other content stating that ads 
failed to load?
No, you aren't the only one. Apparently, many people seem to be facing 
this problem. I'm not sure why that is, though.


Well, I'll paste the article below for you if that helps :)

A new image recognition service from the Makers of TapTapSee may be 
coming to your smartphone soon, but this one is a bit different.
The new @CloudSightAPI seeks to take on-device image recognition to the 
next level, giving detailed descriptions within a quarter of a second. 
Image descriptions are promised to be more vivid and detailed than other 
products, with no cloud processing required.

Here are a few examples given on their website:

1. lot of multi-colored rotary phones
2. round black Michael Kors chronograph watch with brown leather strap
3. 3x3 Rubik's cube
   *pair of men's black leather derby shoes

Much of this is made possible by the billions of images processed by 
TapTapSee and CamFind, cloud-based image description tools which have 
been learning about objects and their surroundings for the past several 
years. Indeed, a test of TapTapSee yields more detailed descriptions 
than in years past, including "Black Lenovo Thinkpad on desk" and "Krups 
coffee maker under white cupboard".
For now, the free apps for iOS and Android continue to use the 
cloud-based approach, though it is now theoretically possible for 
someone to create an app using the new on-device technology. Pricing for 
the new API was not immediately available.
Aside from uses for the blind and visually impaired, object recognition 
can be used for everything from moderation of images to automatic alt 
text for product pages.

Thank you very much for posting that article. I tried loading the same info
on yet another device and got the same error. I hope they fix the issue.
