I agree with what has been said so far. When the app first came out it sounded quite promising. Now with apps like Tap Tap See and Talking Goggles (provided they can make it work again) identifying many items is easier and more efficient because you don't have to take a reference picture first and identify it with a voice recording. I also found that LookTel Recognizer did have problems distinguishing between items that have only a few distinguishing characteristics.
Here is what is said in the app description: LookTel Recognizer allows those persons having visual impairments or blindness to identify cans, packages, ID or credit cards, DVDs, and similar items. For cans and packages Tap Tap See works extremely well. I am hesitant to try it on things like credit cards since I believe Tap Tap See may use crowd sourcing and I'm not so sure I want to risk somebody possibly being able to read my credit card number. I think it would be cool if Recognizer combined what it does now with the way Tap Tap See works so that you can identify most items via a data connection and without having to take pictures of everything. Then if something isn't identified one could try the current method Recognizer employs and take a picture with description. Of course maybe the developers of Tap Tap See could be made aware of this since they could add that kind of functionality to their app as well.

Hi. I have also purchased the recognizer app. It did not work for me. Cheers Annie.

One weekend, when I first acquired the app, I had sighted assistance in beginning to build a library. We couldn't figure out how to have the app recognize similar items. For example, flavors of the same brand of yogurt. It also didn't seem possible to have the app recognize the different kCups. :) I guess after the first weekend I kind of gave up on the app and fairly quickly alternative apps came out, which I found easier to set up & use. If anyone has helpful tips & guidance on how to use the app better, maybe I wouldn't regret the purchase.
