Re: TapTapSee
I think that there should be some consideration given to the fact that a blind person is at a huge disadvantage when taking pictures, and may need to have several tries before getting an acceptable result. This is why a time based plan may be better for a blind person than paying by picture count alone.

To ask a blind person to get better at taking pictures is like asking a blind person to be a better driver.

RE: TapTapSee
Considering that this app in particular has been designed with the blind user as the main beneficiary, it would be more than reasonable to believe that this circumstance has been contemplated by the dev. Nothing like having some skin in the game as a motivator to or at least try to improve one’s skills. Who knows, since this pay model roll out is basically new, maybe the plans offered could be refined depending on user feedback and usage down the road. My wife is sighted so I think I’ll pass on the ten bucks a month, but I’m more than willing to try out the eight dollar plan as a backup in my pocket for those times I can’t borrow her dreamy green eyes.

Re: TapTapSee
It may be that it's harder for a blind person to take pictures but that's not the developers problem. Whether we take a good picture or not they still have to analyse it and give us feedback. And yes we can over time learn how to take better pictures. We can learn for example if we have the phone to close to the page, or if it's not straight, etc. That can be done with a different package which doesn't cost money. In fact with technology it has been proven that yes we can even drive a car (probably better than some of the sighted people out there.)

Hi John, Could you provide bit more information about the tripod you have? I have been sort of looking for one, but haven't found one yet I like.

At no point during your argument do you acknowledge the fact that TapTapSee must spend the same resources to identify, or attempt identification, whether the picture is the picture you intended or not. In fact, the images which are more difficult to ascertain require more resources to be used, so your not-so-good pictures actually cost the company more to process compared with your good, precise pictures.

I'm interested in getting the 100 Pictures Pack but would appreciate to know in advance whether each picture will count or only those that will receive a successsful description?

As an example, the other day, I took a picture of my digital thermostat to find out what the temperature was and the results I got back the two or three times I tried it was that it was a thermostat. 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. Now however, as the app is a paid service, scenarios such as this would give me pause.

Re: TapTapSee
Ok here's my question. I may have to take several pictures moving the iPhone forward, backward, left or right only to hear can of chili. That's helpful but not very informative. If I under stand you then that would be a successful image and thus I'd be charged for that picture when in reality, I'm looking for can is Hormel Chili no beans. I don't have a problem paying. I'm not looking for something for nothing. I'm just concerned that I get the information I need with out being over charged. With the hundred picture plan at 8 cents a picture and it takes me ten shots to get it right, then it would cost me 80 cents just to find out what's inside that can. The same thing with boxes etc. Box of cereal is not what I need to know. Box of Kellogg Frosted Flakes is. --- Regards, Alan Go Chicago Bears in 2013!

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.

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. Think about it. David Chittenden, MSc, MRCAA Email: dchitten...@gmail.com Mobile: +64 21 2288 288 Sent from my iPhone On 8 Nov 2013, at 6:34, Sieghard Weitzel siegh...@live.ca wrote: Hello Listers and Tap Tap See people, I understand that many are disappointed that something which used to be free now costs money. 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. Feedback and constructive criticism is good, expressing outrage and getting mad are not.

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?

Hey Sieghard, did you send a message like the one you just sent to the list? As I have said already, I do mot have a problem paying for the service, I simply have a problem with the pricing options available now. I personally know of several people that have deleted the app and are very disappointed with the situation. I do plan on telling them to email and come up with suggestions.

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.

For an app which continues costing the developer, a onetime pay model is probably not self-supporting.

Re: TapTapSee
I tend to agree, but most of the messages I saw on this topic weren't people refusing to pay or wanting a hand out but rather people who thought the on going charge was a bit much. Maybe it is or maybe it isn't, and information like the below can help explain the charges they came up with, but this isn't the same as claiming people are refusing to pay or are acting like they're being betrayed. In a world where so many apps are just a few dollars for a one time charge, I can certainly understand why people, blind and sighted alike, would pause over paying $10 a month. This isn't unlike the pause people had when paying for the Seeing Eye GPS app, which was also on a subscription basis, and cost more than your run of the mill app. On 11/07/2013 12:11 PM, David Chittenden wrote: 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.

Due to the high costs of image recognition, we were forced to change TapTapSee into a subscription based service. We will continue to improve our service in order to provide you with the high quality tags that you’ve come to love and expect.

Option 1) 100 Picture Pack for $7.99. Option 2) 1 Month of Unlimited Pictures for $9.99. The purchase is done through your Apple iTunes account.

Re: TapTapSee
The hundred picture pack does not have a time limit on it. If you want to have unlimited pictures then you will have to pay a monthly subscription. For me I will get the hundred picture pack for now as it takes me a while to go through 100 pictures. Considering how helpful this app has been for me it is worth the price.

Re: TapTapSee
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. Feedback and constructive criticism is good, expressing outrage and getting mad are not.

RE: TapTapSee
I also think it would be important to have a New User trial period for free, perhaps with 25, 50, or even 100 pictures without charge. $7.99 or $9.99 may be too high a hurdle for someone wondering if the app would meet their needs, and to allow for a learning curve with no or low cost.

Re: TapTapSee
Keith, The subscription is not automatically renewed. Remember there are 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 1 month unlimited pack will start on the date that you subscribe and will end in the next month. For example, if you were to subscribe on Nov. 5th then your subscription will run out on Dec. 4th. You will then be prompt to the menu to select from the two options, much like you did the first time.

Re: TapTapSee
Hello, The way I understand it, If you do the 9.99 unlimited monthly subscription, then you are only subscribed for that single month. Then when your subscription runs out, it is up to you when you renew it. If you want to wait until you use Tap Tap See again, or wait a couple of months, then that is up to you. But according to what Tap Tap See said, you only subscribe one month at a time. And remember, under the $9.99 monthly subscription, your pictures are unlimited. Also do not forget, there is another subscription that you pay just $8 for 100 pictures. That is 8 cents per picture, and there is no time limit on how long it takes you to take the pictures. You do not have to renew until all 100 pictures have been taken. They have put together 2 different subscription plans. One plan that covers time, $9.99 for one month, And one plan that covers the number of pictures, $8 for 100 pictures. It is up to the user to decide which plan best fits their needs. Hope all of this helps.

Re: TapTapSee
I would still like to see a free version even if it is 5 free pictures a month. I would suspect that much of the picture taking was just for fun. I know when I first installed the app, I couldn't believe 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.

I have always wondered how long the company would continue being able to fund us, and I wondered how badly we would take it when we learned that there is actually an ongoing cost for our support.

In a world where so many apps are just a few dollars for a one time charge, I can certainly understand why people, blind and sighted alike, would pause over paying $10 a month. This isn't unlike the pause people had when paying for the Seeing Eye GPS app, which was also on a subscription basis, and cost more than your run of the mill app. On 11/07/2013 12:11 PM, David Chittenden wrote: 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.

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

RE: TapTapSee
Another suggestion I would make is adding a small space where one can enter text to specify what exactly they're looking for to be described when necessary. As an example, the other day, I took a picture of my digital thermostat to find out what the temperature was and the results I got back the two or three times I tried it was that it was a thermostat. 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. Now however, as the app is a paid service, scenarios such as this would give me pause. Especially if I were to opt for the batch of photos plan instead of the month to month option. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Mike Arrigo Sent: Thursday, November 07, 2013 5:44 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Cc: p...@pcsgames.net Subject: Re: TapTapSee Are you still planning on bringing this to Android?

Re: TapTapSee
Mike, Yes we are. It's in the works. I won't give you a timeline, as things change and I don't want to make promises. But to answer your question, yes, we're definitely going to bring it over to Android. Part of the subscription will go toward the development of the Android version of the app. On Thursday, November 7, 2013 5:44:04 PM UTC-8, Mike Arrigo wrote: Are you still planning on bringing this to Android?

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.

RE: TapTapSee
That would be nice. Even something with a short 80 or 100 character limit perhaps would be enough. No need for soliloquies or anything like that. A quick description or request for what one is specifically looking for when warranted. Especially for the 100 photo option. Every picture submitted would count that much more. Inquiries to go along with the photo like “what’s the digital display say?”, “black or color ink?”, “White printer paper or blue?”, etc. It goes without saying.

Re: TapTapSee
Hi TapTapSee Team! How are you going to handle failed images? I mean, often when I'm using TapTapSee, I'm getting 2 or 3 a Picture 1 failed or Picture 2 failed message before I eventually receive a proper describtion for the picture. I'm interested in getting the 100 Pictures Pack but would appreciate to know in advance whether each picture will count or only those that will receive a successsful description? Of course the latter would be much more preferable but I'd like to know this in advance.

I realized that earlier I agreed with someone that I thought the charge for TapTapSee would hurt ore than help, but now that I understand the two options, I am fine with them.

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. Feedback and constructive criticism is good, expressing outrage and getting mad are not.

What about those pictures that come back as failed? I was trying to get a picture yesterday and got the message that the picture had timed out.

Re: TapTapSee
I think this is a great suggestion, and would make the app even more useful since we would be able to pin point the specific information we are looking for. This would also help us not have to take as many pictures when we do not get the type of information we were looking for.

RE: TapTapSee
I second Cristobal's suggestion. I also wonder if a simple list of attributes, each with a checkbox, could be more quickly navigated than typing into an edit field. I really only come up with two types of information I'm looking for when I use TapTapSee: What is something's color or pattern: What information is contained in the print? Others may have needs like: What is this? Describe this picture? Perhaps an edit box could still be present for the few times the simple list does not address the need.

RE: TapTapSee
Hi please can you not come down to help us to buy the App TapTapSee it self instead of buying packages or monthly subscription? Paying for App like we buy other Apps, would be much more easier for those that don't have credit cards, because I find it is much more easier as I don't have a credit card.

Re: TapTapSee
Hi TaptTapSee and all. I'm not a regular user of TapTapSee, however, when the time i used it, i'm impress with the result and how fast it takes for my result. Although i'm not a regular user in all means, by all count, i'll purchase the 100 image pacakge as my action of supporting Tap Tap See, a great app with great app developers. For 100 image, i pay about 8 cens per image. It is way too cheap for what the app can do for me. If, my vision do deterirate over time, i will definitely subscribe to the monthly package. Which i believe, for less than 35 cens a day, i can access to unlimited imagery that i have for the app to provide me with the great assistant like it already does. If any of your client that may not agree with the charges, well, they can go with some free apps choice, or, alternately, they can pay $6 for 3 photo reckonitions that i know a fellow blind person is doing, as a business in the states. Again, thank you for such a great app, and you got my full support for the charges.

RE: TapTapSee
Mich, You pay via your Apple account, this is really the only way it can be done on an iOS device and you can always go out and buy an iTunes Gift Card. This way you could even take advantage of discounted cards which you can usually find several times a year at places like Safeway, 711, Shopper's Drug Mart etc. If you get your hands on a $15 card for $12 (a 20% discount) you could then buy the 100 picture pack for $7.99 and in fact it would only cost you $6.19.

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. Feedback and constructive criticism is good, expressing outrage and getting mad are not.

Re: Taptapsee and braille
Hello Dmitriy, I'm a little concerned here. Tap Tap See was a great app. It even won app of the year I believe. My concern is don't throw the baby out with the bath water. Developers love to make improvements and on the face of it, that's great. I would like to propose two versions. One could be called Tap Tap See Basic. This could be the version we all knew and loved and what put the app on the map. The new version might be called Tap Tap See More. In other words, if it 'ain't broke don't fix it. Please take this as just my being uncomfortable due to the fact many apps start out being great. Then this, that, and the other feature gets added on. then a really great app turns into something you spend more time fooling around with then actually using. --- Regards, Alan Go Chicago Bears in 2013!

Re: Taptapsee and braille
Hi, The new taptapsee works great. I just hooked up my braille display, and the braille bar is exactly what was needed. The speech history method works great too. I was peripherally aware of this feature but had never used it. My deaf-blind users are going to love it. Thanks, Erik Burggraaf Ebony Consulting will close it's doors for good on december 20th.

Re: Taptapsee and braille
Alan, I understand your concern. However, I must tell you that all of the additional features that we created in TapTapSee were a result of user feedback. The rotor bar is something that has been requested for several months. The same goes for the flash toggle that we've added to the app. Since our first release we've only added features that the users requested. At this time, we are looking to continue improving the functionality and quality of the app itself, rather than adding more buttons. Since our first beta tests with some of the members of the local Braille institute we learned that our app needs to continue to stay clean and minimalistic. We plan on sticking to that mantra. Therefore, I assure you that we will not destroy TapTapSee by over-saturating it with more buttons. :) I hope I was able to resolve some of your concerns.

RE: Taptapsee and braille
Hi Eric, As far as I can tell Tap Tap See only speaks the results and you can repeat it by tapping the Repeat button, but I don't think it is displayed on the screen where you could review it either with Voiceover or by using a braille display. It never occurred to me why this might be important and it's probably something you should suggest to the developer.

Re: Taptapsee and braille
I haven't tested the app much. I'll say this though: if the app speaks a result and it flashes on the display, you cna toggle a history of such announcements with space-n.

Thank you, Dmitriy On Wednesday, September 11, 2013 2:47:28 PM UTC-7, Joseph FreeTech wrote: Hi all, Since my Vons online grocery purchase was so easy and pleasant, last night I was doing some laundry and noticed a little hole in a pair of my walking shorts. I know I Purchased them at a JC Penny store nearby here in the US, so I jumped on the JC Penny.com website to purchase a few new pairs as I absolutely did not want to have to catch a ride and walk around a shopping mall nor tiny isles between racks of clothing at a physical store. Firstly, this JCPenny website must use some sort of Java because I had to do all kinds of crazy stuff to try to get Jaws to read the correct information on my Windows7 computer running Internet Explorer 10. For others who may find themselves on this website, do what I did, and first create an account, then simply load all desired items into your basket and go through the process of checking out (don't worry if you made a mistake in the size you chose). At some point you will see all your items, and at this point you can change the size and amount and quantity per item, and you will also be notified if JC Penny is out of stock for that item. You will be offered the opportunity to speed through by paying with PayPal, which is the path I took. At one point, while on the website, I had to choose the size I wanted to purchase, and I could not recall what size I wore in that style of walking shorts. I took a look at my receipt from long ago when previously purchasing this same style of shorts, and like a dummy I did not document the size of my Docker shorts. At this point I had no choice but to wait around until later tonight to find someone who could read the tags for me, which I did not find pleasing as I had gone through lots of hassle to figure out how to use the website, and I wanted to simply finish what I started. I left the browser open and went to get a little breakfast. At some point while eating, I thought, ...nah, it won't work, but rather than waiting a whole day for someone to help, if I can even find someone, how about using my iPod and TapTapSee to attempt to read the tiny writing on the labels? I pulled my iPod Touch 5th gen out of my pocket and first tried using Talking Goggles to scan the small labels, and unfortunately this thing failed pretty miserably. I then tried VixWiz, and now hours later, I'm still waiting for the web workers to get back to me. Smile. I then tried TapTapSee, and I received a couple of replies conveying the fact that I had taken pictures of my walking shorts as well as conveying the color and such, but since I placed the camera about 1 inch above the inner cloth label, I think it was obvious that I wanted someone to read the label for me. After about 5 tries, someone got the hint and conveyed the size of my current pair of walking shorts. Eureka!--I said to myself--though I used more colorful language. I then scanned a few more pair of shorts and I was informed of the relevant sizes. I was incredibly thrilled that TapTapSee helped me out of yet another jam, which only took about 5 minutes, and now I don't have to wait for someone to come along later today, tomorrow, nor ever for that matter to help me complete my shopping. This kind of thing is something very simple, but something that makes life very easy when your goal is complete independence! I jumped on the JC Penny website and completed my purchase. I don't know if it was the old mark up then mark down trick, but I was able to purchase many things on sale, which was a cool unexpected bonus. I'm now waiting for them to deliver my package in a few days. No transportation hassles, no walking through busy isles, no asking for attendants to help me, no entering pin codes or signing for the use of a debit card, no carrying multiple bags on the bus and alike. I love it! Thank you iPod and TapTapSee! Joseph -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Simply double tap the screen to take a photo of anything and hear the app speak the identification back to you (Note: Spoken identification requires VoiceOver to be turned on). When you first open TapTapSee a Privacy Notice pops up that needs to be accepted for you to use the app. Once it's accepted you're taken into the app, which consists of a camera and four buttons at the top of the screen - Repeat, Library, Share and About. To take a picture simply double tap on the screen and wait for the identification to come back to you. This will take seven to 10 seconds, depending on your network connection. The image gets sent out to our server where it is processed and then given a tag that is sent back to the user's device. The VoiceOver in the device speaks the identification back to the user. TapTapSee also includes the following four features: The Repeat button was developed in case the identification was missed by the user on the initial response. The Library button allows the user to access the device's Camera Roll in order to send images to TapTapSee for identification. To access this feature simply click on the Library Button and then proceed to select an image that you want to have identified from the Camera Roll (Note: If access to the Camera Roll is denied then the Privacy Settings must be changed on the device). The Share button gives the user the ability to Share the image via Email, Twitter or Facebook. The Share button also includes the option for the user to save the image to the device's Camera Roll and more. TapTapSee gives users a general identification of the images.

Re: TapTapSee Identifying Photos
Hi Carol, The problem I have found with Tap Tap See is with the lighting. Since I/we don't see, figuring out the lighting is a little tricky. I live in an apartment with west facing windows. I was working with Tap Tap See last night and had a very hard time getting anything out of it even with the living room lights on. This morning everything was the same except the sun was now up and I had no trouble getting it to give me a read out. Even though the windows face west so this morning the sun was not shining directly into my apartment, just it being light outside seemed to make the difference because that was the only variable that was different from last night. Another thing to experiment with is the distance you hold the phone from the object you are trying to get a read on. Also, as someone said the other day, is to make sure you have the camera centered the best you can and with it being located at the corner of the phone and not in the middle that is another factor to include when positioning the phone. I am selling many bags of coffee for a fund raiser I'm doing and using Tap Tap See to identify what type of coffee is what, Tap Tap See is working better and easier than talking goggles or text grabber. Go Tap Tap See, woohoo! On 7/3/13, Carol Forrester carol.l.forres...@me.com wrote: hello everyone I am new to the list.

Re: TapTapSee Feedback
I find that if you turn on grid in camera, options, grid. With grid turned on, you get the help as to which way to move the camera to center the face. Note: it works slowly but it will tell you sooner or later. Still, it's an interesting idea. - Original Message - From: dmit...@taptapseeapp.com To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, July 02, 2013 12:08 PM Subject: Re: TapTapSee Feedback Srikanth, It's odd, because my Camera app doesn't tell me if the object is in the center, right corner or left corner. Is there something that needs to be tweaked in the settings for this to work? Best, Dmitriy On Tuesday, July 2, 2013 9:07:44 AM UTC-7, Srikanth Kanuri wrote: Yes. The auto focus feature with voice notifications such as product centred , product at left or at right part of focus etc. just as apple implemented for its camera app through face detection.

Correct me if I'm wrong. I want to make sure we're on the same page.

Is there a way to use that chirping sound used to notify the user they have the object in focus expanded. The photo app on iPhone can tell you that the face is centered or low, lower right-hand corner etc. Can that be taken advantage of to help the user center what ever has focus and would that result in better results? Like I said, just out loud and outside the box.

Simply double tap the screen to take a photo of anything and hear the app speak the identification back to you (Note: Spoken identification requires VoiceOver to be turned on). When you first open TapTapSee a Privacy Notice pops up that needs to be accepted for you to use the app. Once it's accepted you're taken into the app, which consists of a camera and four buttons at the top of the screen - Repeat, Library, Share and About. To take a picture simply double tap on the screen and wait for the identification to come back to you. This will take seven to 10 seconds, depending on your network connection. The image gets sent out to our server where it is processed and then given a tag that is sent back to the user's device. The VoiceOver in the device speaks the identification back to the user. TapTapSee also includes the following four features: The Repeat button was developed in case the identification was missed by the user on the initial response. The Library button allows the user to access the device's Camera Roll in order to send images to TapTapSee for identification. To access this feature simply click on the Library Button and then proceed to select an image that you want to have identified from the Camera Roll (Note: If access to the Camera Roll is denied then the Privacy Settings must be changed on the device). The Share button gives the user the ability to Share the image via Email, Twitter or Facebook. The Share button also includes the option for the user to save the image to the device's Camera Roll and more. TapTapSee gives users a general identification of the images. However, if for example, the user takes a picture of a can of soup and wants to know the name of the brand, the application will be able to read the label and return the identification with the brand name. Nevertheless, keep in mind that TapTapSee will only be able to recognize the objects that are within the camera's scope. Sometimes it take a bit of playing around with TapTapSee to get the desired identification. TapTapSee also has a Focus notification sound that can be turned ON and OFF as desired in the About screen. Once an object comes into focus, the app makes a sound to notify the user that it's in the optimal position to take a photograph. TapTapSee gives the user the ability to take up to three images at a time to be identified. However, the total amount of images taken for identification are unlimited. Please let me know if you have anymore questions. Best
