Re: Seeing AI Not Really Overwhelmed
Yes, it might be because my iPad Mini 4 has no light, but I made sure the lights were on in the rooms where I was using it. I didn’t notice a huge battery drain while I was running the app quite a lot yesterday. As I mentioned, I got the bar code reader working very well. It’s not just food you can use it on. My girlfriend and I were looking at her yarn yesterday. Some bar codes provide a lot of information, others not so much.

RE: Seeing AI Not Really Overwhelmed
The facial recognition thing feels more like a gimmic since when are you actually going to use it in the real world. The barcode thing alone makes this app worth it for it for me. Especially the beeping indicator to guide you where it is. I know other apps offer a similar scanning feature, but playing pin the tale on the donkey for ever and ever on every single item often made it an exercise in frustration. I never really used them because of this. So far, barcode scanning with this app has been a breeze and an over all more efficient task.

Re: Seeing AI Not Really Overwhelmed
Karen, It is free. Here is the full name and link: Here is the full description from the app store. Apparently only English is supported if I'm reading the last part of the description correctly. Description: Seeing AI is a free app that narrates the world around you. Designed for the blind and low vision community, this ongoing research project harnesses the power of AI to open up the visual world and describe nearby people, text, and objects. Optimized for use with VoiceOver, the app enables you to recognize: • Short Text - Speaks text as soon as it appears in front of the camera. • Documents - Provides audio guidance to capture a printed page, and recognizes the text, along with its original formatting. • Products - Scans barcodes, using audio beeps to guide you; hear the name, and package information when available. (works with iPhone 6 and later) • People - Saves people’s faces so you can recognize them, and get an estimate of their age, gender, and emotions. • Scenes (early preview) - Hear an overall description of the scene captured. • Images in other apps - Just tap “Share” and “Recognize with Seeing AI” to describe images from Mail, Photos, Twitter, and more.Seeing AI is built to help you achieve more by leveraging the power of the cloud and artificial intelligence. As the research progresses, more channels may be added.Visit http://SeeingAI.com for more details and instructional videos.Available in the U.S., Canada, India, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Singapore. Coming soon to more countries. Languages supported – English Supported on iPhone 5C, 5S and later; best performance with iPhone 6S and later models. Questions, feedback or feature requests?

Re: Seeing AI Not Really Overwhelmed
Thanks Ed, it sounds like I was definitely holding it too close then for most of these. Apparently I got lucky once but not again so far. Clearly, more practice is required. Evan From: Mr. Ed Sent: Thursday, July 13, 2017 5:41 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Seeing AI Not Really Overwhelmed Hi Evan, The bar codes will give you what the item is. The nice thing about the Seeing AI app is that it helps you find the bar code. When you press the product button and then put the camera on the product and as soon as it sees the bar code it will start beeping then as you turn the product or move your iPhone the beeps will beep faster and faster when you are right on the bar code. Then just hold the iPhone still for just a second or so until you hear it say processing. Then it will announce and tell you what the product is. It is quite fast. I tested it last night on cans, jars, and boxes and it worked quite well on my iPhone 6s plus. Just remember to keep it about 10 to 15 inches away from the prodict.

I’ll keep playing with it; although, I can’t help thinking that if all Seeing AI’s Product feature does is give you the name of the product, then Tap Tap See is still easier and very reliable. Now if it gives you more info than that, say cooking directions or something, that would be great and more worth the effort than doing something I can already do easily with another app. Don’t those bar codes, at least some of them anyway, contain microwave cooking directions or am I thinking of something else?

I tried at least seven or eight boxes and packages on it. It got one item. Some of the rest it didn’t beep at all; and a few, it did beep faster and faster as I got closer to the bar code, but then it stopped beeping a few inches from the package and said nothing. I’d starve if I had to rely on that for my meals! I will mention here that, my still favorite app for looking at things, Tap Tap See identified every item of food I put in front of it, including those I couldn’t identify with Seeing AI’s Product feature. Definitely not starve with that! Third, the Scene Beta said something like Seems to be indoor. (Yes, it did say indoor. Once again, taking a picture in the exact same location with Tap Tap See revealed my white kitchen cabinets that I was aiming the camera at. Fourth, moderately positive, I tried the Short Text function with pretty good results. It read some addresses of paper mail with moderate accuracy. It switched me to the Documents function when I tried the back cover of a book with it. However, I only got snippets of text, mostly gibberish, when I aimed it at my laptop screen. Fifth and finally, the really positive. I am impressed with the Document function. I like how it guides you until the entire page with all its edges is visible. And, as someone else here has shown, the OCR is quite good. I tried it with mail and a few back covers of books and got great results overall. I tried it with my laptop screen as well but got no text. I like the context sensitive Quick Help that you can get for each feature that tells you briefly how to use it. Some of this stuff may just require more practice. I might be able to get better results with the Product feature with more of that. I needed a bit of that in aiming the camera when I first got Tap Tap See because I kept forgetting that the camera is in the upper righthand corner of my iPad Mini and not at the center. But some of this is still bugs that need to be worked out I think. So not really overwhelmed. For a while at least, for looking at stuff, except for text, Tap Tap See is still the clearly better app. Evan -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.

RE: Seeing AI Not Really Overwhelmed
Hi Evan, The bar codes will give you what the item is. The nice thing about the Seeing AI app is that it helps you find the bar code. When you press the product button and then put the camera on the product and as soon as it sees the bar code it will start beeping then as you turn the product or move your iPhone the beeps will beep faster and faster when you are right on the bar code. Then just hold the iPhone still for just a second or so until you hear it say processing. Then it will announce and tell you what the product is. It is quite fast. I tested it last night on cans, jars, and boxes and it worked quite well on my iPhone 6s plus. Just remember to keep it about 10 to 15 inches away from the prodict.

Re: Seeing AI Not Really Overwhelmed
By closer to the barcode we don't mean putting the camera closer to the box we mean getting it closer to where the actual location is in fact, you might have to back away from the item to find it and read it more clearly.

Yes, there is such a thing and it's good to. kay.malmqu...@gmail.com Sent from my iPhone On Jul 13, 2017, at 3:41 PM, Evan Reesewrote: Hi, I got the app earlier this afternoon, and tried out most of the functions on my iPad Mini 4 with 128GB of memory. I can’t say I’m as impressed as some others here. I guess I’ll start with the negatives first and end on a positive note. First, like so many other people, I tried the Person item at least half a dozen times, both with myself and my girlfriend as the person and got the No People message. Not being sure which camera was being used, I turned the tablet around a few times so that each camera was facing me but with no success. Second, I tried the bar code reader. I tried at least seven or eight boxes and packages on it. It got one item. Some of the rest it didn’t beep at all; and a few, it did beep faster and faster as I got closer to the bar code, but then it stopped beeping a few inches from the package and said nothing. I’d starve if I had to rely on that for my meals! http://www.mail-archive.com/viphone@googlegroups.com/ --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "VIPhone" group.
