power.

Didn't someone know of either a podcast or a tutorial on this app; I have

Re: talking goggles

[Anne Robertson]

Hello Paul,

With Talking Goggles, your phone must not be on silent. The buttons should say 
from right to left: Still Camera, Record or Stop, Change language now en, and 
if Stop is showing, Flash.

Double-tap the Record button and hold the phone about 6 inches from what you 
want to identify.

I read all kinds of things with Talking Goggles but I mostly use it in the 
kitchen to identify things in jars and cans.

Cheers,

Anne

I must be stupid, because my goggles doesn’t even read the computer screen, 
it’s dead silent. But it’s not the programs fault it’s me who don’t know the 
first thing about handling the camera. It’s the same in KNFB reader, ever since 
the last update i only get gibberish when i scan my mail and never have i

Re: Talking goggles

[Chuck Dean]

 I've been playing with this app for about 15 minutes, and I am very impressed! 
It recognizes about 85% of the objects  that I pointed it  at. Including my 
guitar, printer, flatscreen TV, and thermostat.

It did think that my cat was a  Labrador however, but the cat wasn't offended.
😀 
 I found that wants it recognizes an object if you leave the focus on the text 
of the object, it will automatically stay there and all you have to do is point 
the camera at different objects and wait a few seconds for it to announce what 
it is. 
 For a  first version of an app, this is really remarkable. I can't wait to see 
what improvements calm  in the future!

Re: Talking goggles

[Anne Robertson]

Hello Simon,

Talking Goggles comes in two versions: the free one with ads, and the very 
cheap paid one without ads. It works in two modes: video or still camera.
It’s very simple to use and when set to video, works in real time. You just 
click on Record and point the camera to the thing you need to identify. It 
reads bits of labels on jars and boxes, identifies books, reads short pieces of 
text and translates them into the chosen language. It also identifies 
well-known pictures. So, if you have placemats with famous paintings on them, 
it can tell you which is which.
Talking Goggles is an app I don’t ever want to be without.

Cheers,

Anne

well-known pictures. So, if you have placemats with famous paintings on
them, it can tell you which is which.
Talking Goggles is an app I don’t ever want to be without.

Cheers,

Re: Talking goggles

[Richard Turner]

TapTapSee compares photos of object with a database of items and tries to match 
them, if no matches are found, supposedly humans look at it and write a 
description.
Talking Goggles is using ocr in real time. Plus I expect some object matching 
as well. No humans involved as far as I know.

RE: Talking goggles

[Rose Combs]

Yes, KNFB is wonderful if you can get the camera right, abysmal when you just 
can't seem to do it.  
I tried it to see if I could read a credit card number for Amazon as they seem 
to have forgotten I was a prime member and that I had a card with them.  No go, 
tried the same card on the scanner on my HP Envy Printer, no go.  Alone so, 
have to wait for eyes to arrive so I can get the info needed.  Usually I do 
that immediately but the card arrived just days after my husband passed, and 
there was so much going on that I forgot all about it.  So far, and I meant to 
have my hair stylist read the info into my phone yesterday we talked about it 
and then both of us forgot about it when I left.  
If there are any other suggestions, I'd appreciate them, I miss using Amazon, 
and Prime, I can use my normal card but would rather not.

Yes, Video works, but not for me since the 9.0 IOS arrived.  Always did before, 
great at reading signs across the hospital room from the bed when my late 
husband was in so much.

Re: Talking goggles

[Christina C.]

Did you try both sides of your card? Sometimes the card number is printed in 
normal text on the back of the card and sometimes it isn’t.  I’m sure this is a 
long shot but maybe your credit card company can help you out if you call but 
it’s possible that they won’t due to security concerns. Also, maybe your card 
number is on your bill or somewhere if you log into your account online.

Good luck,
Christina

Re: Talking goggles

[Annie Skov Nielsen]

Hi all.

I can not get talking goggles to work anymore, I really miss this app. I like 
the video mode very much, because it recognizes the text on the fly, and it is 
great when you are reading shampoo and stuff like that. I have just tried 
again, but it will not work with my 6s Plus.

Best regards Annie.

Re: Talking goggles

I have tried the free version of Goggles and have not had much
success. After a few shots the app crashes. Perhaps I will try the
paid version to experience the better recognition. It sounds like that
one is working fine. I have an iPhone 6S with iOS 9.2.

Re: Talking goggles

[Richard Turner]

Talking Goggles free works very well on my 5s.
Remember, if the button says "still camera" then you are in video mode and if 
you double tap that button you switch to still camera mode. Leave it in video 
mode, then double tap the record button and you should get good results.

Hi,

I am using the paid version on my 5S with no results.  This happens even in 
video mode.

RE: Talking goggles

Hi Anne,

Since I lost my 6S and I am just waiting for my new phone, a 6S Plus, to 
arrive, I put Talking Goggles back on my 5S and it is working well. I also use 
the paid version and wonder if people who have trouble use the free version and 
if that somehow it the problem?

Hello Annie,

Talking Goggles, the paid version, is still working fine on my iPhone5 running 
the latest iOS. I wonder if anyone is managing to use it with an iPhone5S or 
later.

Cheers,

RE: Talking goggles

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Richard,

OK, I guess that answers my question that maybe the issue is with the free 
version. You also make a good point about video mode or still camera mode. But 
it really is easy to know what is active since if still camera mode is active, 
the button just above the home button says "Take Picture" and not "Record". If 
it says Record and you double tap it you hear the same metallic beep indicating 
it is recording that you hear when you are in the camera app and you start 
recording video.
Also, for those who can't get it to work, make sure that once you point it at 
something you hold still for a few moments so the camera has time to send what 
it sees, if you continuously wave the phone around it will of course not work.

Regards,
Sieghard

Talking Goggles free works very well on my 5s.
Remember, if the button says "still camera" then you are in video mode and if 
you double tap that button you switch to still camera mode. Leave it in video 
mode, then double tap the record button and you should get good results.

RE: Talking goggles

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

Does the recording sop automatically after a few seconds, or does the operator 
need to tap again to stop recording? Is it necessary to delete the recording 
from the phone, or does it disappear automatically? Thanks, Keith

RE: Talking goggles

[Sieghard Weitzel]

You can tell Talking Goggles to save still images although I think by default 
it does not. Video recording is done in real-time with nothing getting stored 
on the phone and yes, you do have to stop it, once you tap Record that button 
will turn into a Stop button.

It does not work on my iPhone 6 running IOS 9.2.  It is too bad because I used 
it often.

Talking Goggles free works very well on my 5s.
Remember, if the button says "still camera" then you are in video mode and if 
you double tap that button you switch to still camera mode. Leave it in video 
mode, then double tap the record button and you should get good results.

Re: Talking goggles

[Joney]

I am using a 6+, and it's working just fine. Something I did discover, however, 
is that you need to turn on flash, if you have it off. At least if you wanted 
to recognize some things. I hold a bottle there, and took a picture, it for 
said there was no recognition, when I turn on the flash, it read the bottle. 
Just an idea.

RE: Talking goggles

[Rose Combs]

OK, this is weird, I must have paid for Talking goggles, so I have the paid 
version, which is not working.  I downloaded the free version and it works!  
That is a twist on theory!

Hi Richard,

OK, I guess that answers my question that maybe the issue is with the free 
version. You also make a good point about video mode or still camera mode. But 
it really is easy to know what is active since if still camera mode is active, 
the button just above the home button says "Take Picture" and not "Record". If 
it says Record and you double tap it you hear the same metallic beep indicating 
it is recording that you hear when you are in the camera app and you start 
recording video.
Also, for those who can't get it to work, make sure that once you point it at 
something you hold still for a few moments so the camera has time to send what 
it sees, if you continuously wave the phone around it will of course not work.

Regards,
Sieghard

To make sure we are clear, the free version works perfectly for me on my 5s.
So, I don't know that my message confirmed anything about the trouble being

RE: Talking goggles

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Richard,

I theorized that maybe the issue was with the free version. Then I read your 
post saying the free version works fine for you and I replied "OK, I guess that 
answers my question that maybe the issue is with the free version". By this I 
meant "OK, so this proves there is no issue with the free version" hence those 
who can't get it to work must encounter a different issue. It's obvious by now 
that both the free and paid versions work for a bunch of people with various 
models from the 5S to the 6S Plus and all using the latest version of iOS.

Regards,
Sieghard

To make sure we are clear, the free version works perfectly for me on my 5s.
So, I don't know that my message confirmed anything about the trouble being 
with the free version.
Or did I misunderstand what you said?

Re: Talking goggles

[Julian]

Hello all,

Like a lot of you, I was also having difficulties making the talking goggles 
app work on my iPhone 6s by the way, I am also using the paid version. I tried 
the suggestions that were given hear such as toggling between the still and 
video camera mode as well as turn the flash on and off all to no avail. What 
finally made a difference, was going into the language menu and reselecting the 
language I normally use which is English. Once I did that, everything started 
working as expected. I hope this is something that helps those of you who have 
also not had any luck trying to suggestions given here thus far.

Goggles works on my 6S+ using iOs 9.2 but only when it wants to itself. It can

Re: talking goggles

[David Chittenden]

After reading the below email, I purchased the app and tested it. Unlike VizWiz 
and TapTapSee, Goggles does not appear to use people to describe images. It 
seems to use image matching exclusively. All the buttons are labelled.

Based on my success with this app, I am considering purchasing the company's 
map app called Sparkling Maps.

[chandan mokashi]

Can one of you make a short podcast on this app? So that it will give us a
good start. Just a suggestion.
Thanks a lot for informing us about this app.

Chandan.

 Description of App

Talking Goggles can recognize images and speaks out what it finds.

   - Recognizes almost any image within seconds. Logos, landmarks, books,
   products, artwork, text and more..
   - Shows the description of the image and speaks it out to you.
   - Speaks it out using the correct accent of your selected language.
   - Includes a torchlight to assist in reading.
   - Video mode. Talking Goggles will continuously check the video stream
   for any familiar images, and will present it and speak it out when it finds
   something.
   - Easy copy function. Use goggles as a scanner/translator and use the
   results in any other application.
   - Look up more details on the image found by doing a direct search. Or,
   if it is a product, check where it is available nearby, and show a price
   comparison.

Don't know the name of that actor on that poster? Just point your camera at
it and Talking Goggles will tell you!

Want to find out if that product is really the cheapest around? Take a
picture and let Talking Goggles do a comparison for you.

Point Talking Goggles at a logo, and you will be told the name of the
company after which you can do a search for it.

Talking Goggles is particularly good at recognizing book covers and
posters. Try it out!

Reviews are very positive so far:

'This amazing application costs just $0.99 and is a masterpiece and could
be a new trend.'

'You really need to try the app to see exactly how good it is.'

'This app worked well and quickly. I took a photo of a few products from my
cupboard and it identified them immediately, and offered access to the
internet to learn more.'



Has anyone tried this app?

Wonder if this will replace tap tap see or any of those other camera apps
out there for the blind?

Hi, 

This app is berry good. I especially like the video mode, it saves you having 
to take several pictures, if you need to check several objects.

RE: talking goggles

[Neal Ewers]

Hi, I have no luck with this app. I get lots of results with tap tap see,
but not one with talking goggles. I'm obviously doing something wrong. I
have it set to still camera, I hold it in front of the same objects I try
with tap tap see and take a picture. I get a message that says something
like no objects found. Tap tap see will give me amazing things like water
color picture of vases of flowers. It gave me the names of 4 different boxes
of crackers. Etc. So, the question is, why does talking goggles not work.
I'm in the same room. I have used flash on and flash off and the lights in
the room are on.  Don't know.

RE: talking goggles

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Chandan,

 

It is only 99 Cents and for the most part it's quite self-explanatory as
there are only 5 buttons. The app does, by the way, use it's own voice to
read out what it comes up with. The English is a female voice and sounds OK.
Theoretically you could silence Voiceover with a 3-finger double tap and the
app would still read out the results although if you leave Voiceover on you
can touch the screen in the middle and find the result and review it.

 

There is a "Flash Off" button at the top left which turns into a "Flash"
button if you double tap it.

If it says "Flash Off" then, well. the Flash is off. If it just says
"Flash", then the flash is on which means the Flash of the iPhone puts out a
permanent and constant light.

 

At the top right is a button that says "Flag En". I assume since it says
"Flag" that visually it displays a flag maybe of the States or England. This
allows you to select a different voice/language. If you double tap on it a
list of languages comes up on the screen from Africans and Albanian to Welsh
and Yiddish, I think it has a total of 51 languages and whichever one you
double tap will say "Selected" and the list goes away and the icon at the
top right displays the result in a 2-letter abbreviation like the "Flag En".

 

Across the bottom above the Home Key are 3 buttons, from Left to right they
are:

 

Gallery - this will show you the albums and pictures on your iPhone,
similary to Photo Viewer.

Camera Copy 14 - this is in the middle above the home key and I renamed this
to "Take Picture" since that is what it does

Video Camera - this will start continuous recording, the "Camera Copy 14"
button in the middle will turn to a stop button and if you stop recording it
will say "Record". If you switch to video recording then the Video Camera
button on the right will turn into a "Still Camera" button and you can
double tap it to switch back to single picture/still camera mode.

 

I agree with David, this app seems to be amazing, it recognizes logos and it
does OCR and what's more, it does OCR while it's in video mode. Aim it at
something and hold it still for a bit and you'll get some results, I don't
even want to think what this thing will do with the Standscan.

 

I had a can of corn and the first time I took a picture it told me it was
corn. This, by the way, is a Canadian Safeway product and Digit-Eyes did not
know it's barcode since unfortunately Digit-Eyes doesn't know a lot of
Safeway barcodes from Canada.

 

I then turned the can a bit and it started recognizing bits of text from
nutritional information and all sort of stuff. I pointed my phone into the
fridge and it told me I had Tropicana Orange Juice, I turned it a bit and
here was Lucern Milk. astounding.

 

This is a great find and well worth the 99 Cents.

Sieghard

Hi again,

 

I forgot to mention that if you do take individual pictures they get saved
in your Camera Roll, but if you use Video Mode the video doesn't get saved.
I didn't see a Setting unless there is something for that app in the
Settings app of the phone so I don't think at this point you can tell it to
save or not to save the pictures. I agree with Brett that video mode for the
most part is the way to go.

Re: talking goggles

Thanks so much for that detailed description!

I bought the app last week end and used it to identify a bottle of
over-the-counter medication.  I thought it was well worth $.99 and now
that I know it will keep a video camera running, I think it is even
more intriguing.\

Hi sieghard,
Thank you so very much for the informative mail. Indeed, it will come in
very useful when i use the app.

Hi Chandan,



It is only 99 Cents and for the most part it’s quite self-explanatory as
there are only 5 buttons. The app does, by the way, use it’s own voice to
read out what it comes up with. The English is a female voice and sounds
OK. Theoretically you could silence Voiceover with a 3-finger double tap
and the app would still read out the results although if you leave
Voiceover on you can touch the screen in the middle and find the result and
review it.



There is a “Flash Off” button at the top left which turns into a “Flash”
button if you double tap it.

If it says “Flash Off” then, well… the Flash is off. If it just says
“Flash”, then the flash is on which means the Flash of the iPhone puts out
a permanent and constant light.



At the top right is a button that says “Flag En”. I assume since it says
“Flag” that visually it displays a flag maybe of the States or England.
This allows you to select a different voice/language. If you double tap on
it a list of languages comes up on the screen from Africans and Albanian to
Welsh and Yiddish, I think it has a total of 51 languages and whichever one
you double tap will say “Selected” and the list goes away and the icon at
the top right displays the result in a 2-letter abbreviation like the “Flag
En”.



Across the bottom above the Home Key are 3 buttons, from Left to right they
are:



Gallery – this will show you the albums and pictures on your iPhone,
similary to Photo Viewer.

Camera Copy 14 – this is in the middle above the home key and I renamed
this to “Take Picture” since that is what it does

Video Camera – this will start continuous recording, the “Camera Copy 14”
button in the middle will turn to a stop button and if you stop recording
it will say “Record”. If you switch to video recording then the Video
Camera button on the right will turn into a “Still Camera” button and you
can double tap it to switch back to single picture/still camera mode.



I agree with David, this app seems to be amazing, it recognizes logos and
it does OCR and what’s more, it does OCR while it’s in video mode. Aim it
at something and hold it still for a bit and you’ll get some results, I
don’t even want to think what this thing will do with the Standscan.



I had a can of corn and the first time I took a picture it told me it was
corn. This, by the way, is a Canadian Safeway product and Digit-Eyes did
not know it’s barcode since unfortunately Digit-Eyes doesn’t know a lot of
Safeway barcodes from Canada.



I then turned the can a bit and it started recognizing bits of text from
nutritional information and all sort of stuff. I pointed my phone into the
fridge and it told me I had Tropicana Orange Juice, I turned it a bit and
here was Lucern Milk… astounding.



This is a great find and well worth the 99 Cents.

Sieghard

Pardon my salutation, but the app sounds incredible! Developments like this and 
Tap Tap See are truly amazing products and the price is likewise amazing.  I’m 
going to give this a try – WOW!

You know, this sort of things keeps up and the iPhone can shed the “Phone” part

HI all,

I too installed this Goggles app and am happy with the fast accurate
scans. This $1 app seems to yield some of the same information as the
$20 digit eyes solution except that this Goggles app is much, much
easier to use and very fast.

So far, the video feature has had problems identifying soda cans and
American money of various denominations, but I seriously doubt it was
meant to identify money.

Don't know the name of that actor on that poster? Just point your camera at

Want to find out if that product is really the cheapest around? Take a
picture and let Talking Goggles do a comparison for you.

Point Talking Goggles at a logo, and you will be told the name of the
company after which you can do a search for it.

Talking Goggles is particularly good at recognizing book covers and
posters. Try it out!

Reviews are very positive so far:

'This amazing application costs just $0.99 and is a masterpiece and could
be a new trend.'

'You really need to try the app to see exactly how good it is.'

'This app worked well and quickly. I took a photo of a few products from my
cupboard and it identified them immediately, and offered access to the
internet to learn more.'



Has anyone tried this app?

Wonder if this will replace tap tap see or any of those other camera apps
out there for the blind?

Re: talking goggles

[Sandratomkins]

Hi,

I just downloaded Talking Goddles and tried it with the StandScan pro and a 
flier that arrived yesterday.

Now, I had read it perfectly with Text Grabber, but was delighted, when in 
video mode, to hear Talking Goggles read the first two/three lines of text, but 
it didn't want to read more. I wonder what the cut off point for text is? If, 
for example, Talking Goggles could read everything that it sees, we would have 
a truly marvelous addition to our reading on the fly arsenal! Even as it 
stands, especially using the SSP, we can sort post etc without touching a 
button, just by exchanging one envelope for another. So, how wonderful if it 
would read the letters in the same way. It can do it, that is obvious by the 
way it read the first few lines of text on my flier, but I think there is a 
quantity cut-off at the moment. Has anyone else done better, am I missing 
something?

Sandy.

Re: talking goggles

[Anne Robertson]

This app even translates text as best it can into the selected language. I 
tried it with various books in English, French, German and Russian. It 
translated the title of the French book into English perfectly but it struggled 
with the German and Russian books. I think it uses something like Google 
Translate which can give pretty hilarious results.

Cheers,

Anne

Well between tap-tap see and goggles, I have very little lock it one works
on one thing and the other may work on something else.  I guess I am never

Hi again,

 

I forgot to mention that if you do take individual pictures they get saved
in your Camera Roll, but if you use Video Mode the video doesn't get saved.
I didn't see a Setting unless there is something for that app in the
Settings app of the phone so I don't think at this point you can tell it to
save or not to save the pictures. I agree with Brett that video mode for the
most part is the way to go.

RE: talking goggles

[Neal Ewers]

Hi, I find that I have to hold the phone much closer to objects with goggles
than with tap tap see. The other difference I am finding is that while tap
tap see will tell me things like the back of a person's head, a man wearing
a blue shirt, goggles will not do this even in video mode, at least not for
me. If I point goggles at my electric stove controls, it does not say
controls on black stove as tap tap see does, it actually tries to read the
writing on the buttons. It says things like pre-heat, broil, etc. If I hold
goggles close to a page with writing, it actually tries to, as people have
mentioned, read the writing and does a rather nice job at it. But, I can
hold it in front of any picture in my house, and it says nothing. So, I am
not quite sure what this all means.

 

It would appear that goggles is much better at reading text and the names of
buttons than tap tap see, but have others been able to identify objects with
it. So far, I can not. I try to take a picture of my couch, it says nothing.
I try my face, I guess I scared it because it said something like w3q. Hmmm,
I wonder if that is written on my forehead? .

 

This is not an attempt to say if one of these apps is better than the other,
I'm simply trying to find out what people have been able to do with goggles
other than read text and buttons. So far, I don't have much luck.

 

Thanks for pointing out this app and for all people's testing.

Re: talking goggles

[Anne Robertson]

As far as I know, Talking Goggles does not use human beings whereas Tap Tap See 
does. This would explain why Talking Goggles works better reading text rather 
than identifying objects. It does identify well known pictures as I mentioned 
in a previous message that you dismissed as frivolous. It failed to identify my 
dog as a dog and said she was an alp. However, it identified the picture on a 
place mat as Tower Bridge which is, of course, a famous image. It does a really 
good job on text in many different languages which is extremely useful for 
someone like me who lives in a country that is not English speaking.

But, as for all apps using the camera, sufficient light is essential. So if you 
have no light perception, you'd be advised to do what I do and use the Light 
Detector app before attempting to use Talking Goggles. That way, you'll know 
when to use the flash.

RE: talking goggles

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Neil,

 

It means that it's very good at recognizing logos and doing OCR on some
things and that it's not so good at telling you the controls on your stove
are the controls on your stove which I think most people would be able to
figure out without an app. Object recognition has its uses, but I honestly
don't need to take a picture of a keyboard to know it's a keyboard or stuff
like that. Anyhow, just because Talking Goggles is very good at certain
things doesn't mean it completely replaces Digit-Eyes, Tap Tap See or other
apps of that nature. One has to find out the strength and weaknesses of the
tools one has at one's disposal and use them in a way that works.

 

 

Regards,

Sieghard

Hi, I find that I have to hold the phone much closer to objects with goggles
than with tap tap see. The other difference I am finding is that while tap
tap see will tell me things like the back of a person's head, a man wearing
a blue shirt, goggles will not do this even in video mode, at least not for
me. If I point goggles at my electric stove controls, it does not say
controls on black stove as tap tap see does, it actually tries to read the
writing on the buttons. It says things like pre-heat, broil, etc. If I hold
goggles close to a page with writing, it actually tries to, as people have
mentioned, read the writing and does a rather nice job at it. But, I can
hold it in front of any picture in my house, and it says nothing. So, I am
not quite sure what this all means.

 

It would appear that goggles is much better at reading text and the names of
buttons than tap tap see, but have others been able to identify objects with
it. So far, I can not. I try to take a picture of my couch, it says nothing.
I try my face, I guess I scared it because it said something like w3q. Hmmm,
I wonder if that is written on my forehead? .

 

This is not an attempt to say if one of these apps is better than the other,
I'm simply trying to find out what people have been able to do with goggles
other than read text and buttons. So far, I don't have much luck.

 

Thanks for pointing out this app and for all people's testing.

I wish there was a way of changing the voice, sometimes I miss what he says, 
it's so quick and I don't seem to get  to really get it happen again. This is

of video mode like everyone else. I think lighting is very important and I will

shall try them both out equally. I have found that scanning some  text is quite 
good but not all the time. I will definitely keep persisting with this.  The 
more acts like this we have the better!
A couple of questions: does it matter if you have the screen curtain on? I am 
presuming not as I have got pretty similar results, but I wanted to know 
peoples thoughts. Also, has anybody tried the different orientations such as 
landscape or portrait, does it make a difference which way you hold the phone? 
I have automatically been doing it in portrait, but a lot of the scanning apps 
for example are  landscape, is it therefore better if its  in landscape?

  Hi Chandan,

   

  It is only 99 Cents and for the most part it's quite self-explanatory as 
there are only 5 buttons. The app does, by the way, use it's own voice to read 
out what it comes up with. The English is a female voice and sounds OK. 
Theoretically you could silence Voiceover with a 3-finger double tap and the 
app would still read out the results although if you leave Voiceover on you can 
touch the screen in the middle and find the result and review it.

   

  There is a "Flash Off" button at the top left which turns into a "Flash" 
button if you double tap it.

  If it says "Flash Off" then, well. the Flash is off. If it just says "Flash", 
then the flash is on which means the Flash of the iPhone puts out a permanent 
and constant light.

   

  At the top right is a button that says "Flag En". I assume since it says 
"Flag" that visually it displays a flag maybe of the States or England. This 
allows you to select a different voice/language. If you double tap on it a list 
of languages comes up on the screen from Africans and Albanian to Welsh and 
Yiddish, I think it has a total of 51 languages and whichever one you double 
tap will say "Selected" and the list goes away and the icon at the top right 
displays the result in a 2-letter abbreviation like the "Flag En".

   

  Across the bottom above the Home Key are 3 buttons, from Left to right they 
are:

   

  Gallery - this will show you the albums and pictures on your iPhone, similary 
to Photo Viewer.

  Camera Copy 14 - this is in the middle above the home key and I renamed this 
to "Take Picture" since that is what it does

  Video Camera - this will start continuous recording, the "Camera Copy 14" 
button in the middle will turn to a stop button and if you stop recording it 
will say "Record". If you switch to video recording then the Video Camera 
button on the right will turn into a "Still Camera" button and you can double 
tap it to switch back to single picture/still camera mode.

   

  I agree with David, this app seems to be amazing, it recognizes logos and it 
does OCR and what's more, it does OCR while it's in video mode. Aim it at 
something and hold it still for a bit and you'll get some results, I don't even 
want to think what this thing will do with the Standscan.

   

  I had a can of corn and the first time I took a picture it told me it was 
corn. This, by the way, is a Canadian Safeway product and Digit-Eyes did not 
know it's barcode since unfortunately Digit-Eyes doesn't know a lot of Safeway 
barcodes from Canada.

   

  I then turned the can a bit and it started recognizing bits of text from 
nutritional information and all sort of stuff. I pointed my phone into the 
fridge and it told me I had Tropicana Orange Juice, I turned it a bit and here 
was Lucern Milk. astounding.

   

  This is a great find and well worth the 99 Cents.

  Sieghard

Or, if it is a product, check where it is available nearby, and show a price
comparison.

Don't know the name of that actor on that poster? Just point your camera at
it and Talking Goggles will tell you!

Want to find out if that product is really the cheapest around? Take a
picture and let Talking Goggles do a comparison for you.

Point Talking Goggles at a logo, and you will be told the name of the
company after which you can do a search for it.

Talking Goggles is particularly good at recognizing book covers and posters.
Try it out!

Reviews are very positive so far:

'This amazing application costs just $0.99 and is a masterpiece and could be
a new trend.'

'You really need to try the app to see exactly how good it is.'

'This app worked well and quickly. I took a photo of a few products from my
cupboard and it identified them immediately, and offered access to the
internet to learn more.'

 

Has anyone tried this app?

Wonder if this will replace tap tap see or any of those other camera apps
out there for the blind?

RE: talking goggles

[Lois Butterfield]

Hello all,

 

An awesome discovery I just made is, this app will identify K-cups.  I'm so
excited!

 

Lois

Hi Chandan,

 

It is only 99 Cents and for the most part it's quite self-explanatory as
there are only 5 buttons. The app does, by the way, use it's own voice to
read out what it comes up with. The English is a female voice and sounds OK.
Theoretically you could silence Voiceover with a 3-finger double tap and the
app would still read out the results although if you leave Voiceover on you
can touch the screen in the middle and find the result and review it.

 

There is a "Flash Off" button at the top left which turns into a "Flash"
button if you double tap it.

If it says "Flash Off" then, well. the Flash is off. If it just says
"Flash", then the flash is on which means the Flash of the iPhone puts out a
permanent and constant light.

 

At the top right is a button that says "Flag En". I assume since it says
"Flag" that visually it displays a flag maybe of the States or England. This
allows you to select a different voice/language. If you double tap on it a
list of languages comes up on the screen from Africans and Albanian to Welsh
and Yiddish, I think it has a total of 51 languages and whichever one you
double tap will say "Selected" and the list goes away and the icon at the
top right displays the result in a 2-letter abbreviation like the "Flag En".

 

Across the bottom above the Home Key are 3 buttons, from Left to right they
are:

 

Gallery - this will show you the albums and pictures on your iPhone,
similary to Photo Viewer.

Camera Copy 14 - this is in the middle above the home key and I renamed this
to "Take Picture" since that is what it does

Video Camera - this will start continuous recording, the "Camera Copy 14"
button in the middle will turn to a stop button and if you stop recording it
will say "Record". If you switch to video recording then the Video Camera
button on the right will turn into a "Still Camera" button and you can
double tap it to switch back to single picture/still camera mode.

 

I agree with David, this app seems to be amazing, it recognizes logos and it
does OCR and what's more, it does OCR while it's in video mode. Aim it at
something and hold it still for a bit and you'll get some results, I don't
even want to think what this thing will do with the Standscan.

 

I had a can of corn and the first time I took a picture it told me it was
corn. This, by the way, is a Canadian Safeway product and Digit-Eyes did not
know it's barcode since unfortunately Digit-Eyes doesn't know a lot of
Safeway barcodes from Canada.

 

I then turned the can a bit and it started recognizing bits of text from
nutritional information and all sort of stuff. I pointed my phone into the
fridge and it told me I had Tropicana Orange Juice, I turned it a bit and
here was Lucern Milk. astounding.

 

This is a great find and well worth the 99 Cents.

 

 

Regards,

Sieghard

HI.  I had talking goggles in vidio mode.  We were sitting in our car and if
I pointed it at the windows it was reading the signs across the road.  Not
sure but in conjunction with a good gps app this might be helpful if we need
to read a sign.  I at least knew the news agency was across the road etc.
My husband who is sighted had some success with getting it to read the
controls on the car.  I got it to read the tube of sunscreen for dogs and
found out it's also good for horses, goats and sheep.  I also got it to read
a bit of an appointment card,.  It read enough to tell me it was an
appointment card.  Now the ability to copy the text it reads in some
situations would be really helpful I think.

 

Oh I also got it to read my username and password someone had written for me
on a piece of paper for internet access at my college.

 

I think with some work this could be a great app.

 

Still no luck with still shots or with shots in the camera role. Though I
wonder what would happen if I nsnapped a pic of something with text on it?

Re: Talking Goggles

[Kirsten Edmondson]

I've just managed, with persistence, to get Talking Goggles to tell me the 
details of my new credit card. I then used FaceTime to check with someone 
sighted and the only thing it hadn't got was my name (not an issue) and the 
security code (but I think that was cos I had it the wrong way round). I 
managed to establish my number and my start and expiry dates. This may not 
sound like much, and it took quite a while, and is by no means fullproof, but, 
it is just an added thing I was able to do more independently. Living on my own 
this is very much needed! High praise to the video function on talking goggles!

  I am working with this app and not getting any results.  I have the following 
settings:

   

  Flash Button:  When I touch (but not tap) the top left button VO says 
"Flash." It is my understanding that this means the flash is on.

   

  Camera Copy 1 Button:  When I touch (but not tap) it VO says, "stop." This 
leads me to believe that some kind of  photo action is going on? I don't know 
what to call it since it's not really taking a picture; there is no sound of a 
clicking shutter. 

   

  Button at bottom right: if I touch (but not tap) it VO says, "still camera," 
which leads me to believe that the video Camera is activated and tapping it 
will change it to Still Camera. Is that correct?

   

  The only time I hear a shutter clicking is when I toggle the bottom right 
button to "still camera, which converts the middle button from "stop" to "take 
picture." But it's my understanding that to get the app to ID things a photo is 
not necessary.   What am I either misunderstanding or doing wrong?

   

  also, what is the purpose of the "record" option? What would I want to record?

RE: Talking Goggles

[Sandy Finley]

Fred,  I believe that I do have it set for video.  As I indicate below, when
I touch (but not tap) the bottom right button, I hear VO say "still camera."
This leads me to believe I do  have it on video.  The other reason I believe
this is because when I tap that button to toggle to Still Camera, the middle
button changes from "stop" to "Camera Copy 14" which, based on Sieghard's
excellent documentation suggestion, I have re-labeled to "take picture." It
seems logical to me that one is going to take a picture with a still camera
and not with a constant video setting.  If my reasoning is faulty someone
needs to let me know.

RE: Talking Goggles

[Lois Butterfield]

I believe you should here flash off.  That would mean your flash is on.
Give that a try.  Hopefully, that is the problem.  In other words, just tap
the button that says flash.

 

Good luck,

Lois

I am working with this app and not getting any results.  I have the

Flash Button:  When I touch (but not tap) the top left button VO says
"Flash." It is my understanding that this means the flash is on.

 

Camera Copy 1 Button:  When I touch (but not tap) it VO says, "stop." This

Re: Talking Goggles

[Eileens Misrahi]

Hi Sandy,
 
The way you described the location what is on the iPhone screen indicates that 
you are in video mode. The "flash It" button will toggle on/off the apps flash 
on the camera. There are times that I need additional light. The amount of 
distance,that one needs from the object will vary depending on the size of the 
object that you want Talking Goggles to read. For example, when using the app 
with my computer screen, I was about 2-3 inches away. Also, I treaT Talking 
Goggles as an OCR app in regards of keeping the iPhone levvel and centering it 
over the object that I want it to read. I believe that good lighting is 
essential, so there is less of a chance of the app crashing. HTH.

Best,
Eileen

Re: Talking Goggles

[Troy Sullivan]

It sounds like it's in video mode and the stop and record buttons are for the 
video, If vo just says flash, yes the flash is already on. Now this may be a 
disadvantage to a lot of us but I have light perseption so I just see if I can 
see a light coming from the camera, this will show me if the flash is on or off.

RE: Talking Goggles

[Sandy Finley]

Eileen and Lois, let me be sure I am clear.   I should first start trying to
use the app with the following settings:

 

Double tap the top left button so the flash is off; this means that when I
run my finger over the button VO reads, "flash off."

 

Re the bottom right button: when I run my finger over it it should say
"video camera."

 

 

I should tap the "flash off" button to turn the flash on only if I am not
getting any results and I suspect the reason is insufficient lighting. Is
this correct?

RE: Talking Goggles

[Lois Butterfield]

Hi Sandy,

 

if you here stop, that means you are in video mode.  If you hear flash off,
that means your flash is on.  

 

I just turned my app on.  What I hear is flash off and stop.  It works very
well this way.  So, flash off means your flash is working.  

 

Obviously, we don't all agree on this, so it would be best for you to try it
for yourself and see what works.

 

Best of luck.

 

Lois
