Bill, I'm a bit behind on my messages, but this is so exciting, when it comes 
to something  as this, being able to do something that wasn't possible before, 
and I could hear how it made your day a bit better. This is so good to know 
that it can work so well, thank you.

  Good morning, list.  

   

  First, I am glad my modem problems at home were resolved yesterday, so I can 
do email and surf the web at home whenever I want, and not have to gobble up 
data on my iPhone because of not being connected to Wi-Fi.  

   

  Before that happened, I had a success with Seeing AI in the handwriting 
channel that was very fulfilling.  I was doing laundry and found a paper taped 
to the top of one of the dryers at my apartment complex.  I first tried the 
K-NFB Reader, a good program that I have enjoyed having available to me for 
several years in its various forms on different platforms.  It found no text, 
even reporting the page was upside down.  

   

  Then I tried Microsoft Seeing AI which I was using live for the first time 
after having played around in the help documentation last weekend.  I went to 
the handwriting channel, figuring that might do the trick as K-NFB had reported 
no text.  I assumed, it turned out correctly, that the paper was oriented 
correctly when taped to the dryer.  I took the picture and Seeing AI processed 
it very quickly.  I discovered that someone had written that the dryer had 
taken their change and that it didn’t work.  I only wish I had discovered this 
before putting coins in it myself, only to learn I had to move the load to 
another dryer.  

   

  This blew me away a bit, finding I could do a task that has heretofore been 
impossible.  I was so excited I forgot to start the washer with the next load 
and had to go back to do it.  

   

  It was a few minutes later when I grabbed the mail early from the letter 
carrier and then the computer technician came to install the new modem.  That 
was the second attempt, as Earthlink had sent me a bed one last week.  

   

  It’s good that we have app choices so that if one doesn’t perform well in a 
given situation, we have others that might.  

   

  This all made for a pretty good day for me.

Re: Seeing AI success; handwriting channel

2018-09-12 Thread Richard Turner
The Seeing AI app has 9 channels. They are in a pick list, just above the home 
button. You touch there and you should hear, "Channel" followed by the name of 
the channel you are on. If you want a different channel, you flick up with one 
finger, or down if you are not on the first channel and want one earlier in the 
list.
It is free. I cannot stress strongly enough that everyone should download it 
and give it a try.

Seeing AI success; handwriting channel

2018-09-12 Thread Bill Outman
Good morning, list.  

 

First, I am glad my modem problems at home were resolved yesterday, so I can
do email and surf the web at home whenever I want, and not have to gobble up
data on my iPhone because of not being connected to Wi-Fi.  

 

Before that happened, I had a success with Seeing AI in the handwriting
channel that was very fulfilling.  I was doing laundry and found a paper
taped to the top of one of the dryers at my apartment complex.  I first
tried the K-NFB Reader, a good program that I have enjoyed having available
to me for several years in its various forms on different platforms.  It
found no text, even reporting the page was upside down.  

 

Then I tried Microsoft Seeing AI which I was using live for the first time
after having played around in the help documentation last weekend.  I went
to the handwriting channel, figuring that might do the trick as K-NFB had
reported no text.  I assumed, it turned out correctly, that the paper was
oriented correctly when taped to the dryer.  I took the picture and Seeing
AI processed it very quickly.  I discovered that someone had written that
the dryer had taken their change and that it didn't work.  I only wish I had
discovered this before putting coins in it myself, only to learn I had to
move the load to another dryer.  

 

This blew me away a bit, finding I could do a task that has heretofore been
impossible.  I was so excited I forgot to start the washer with the next
load and had to go back to do it.  

 

It was a few minutes later when I grabbed the mail early from the letter
carrier and then the computer technician came to install the new modem.
That was the second attempt, as Earthlink had sent me a bed one last week.  

 

It's good that we have app choices so that if one doesn't perform well in a
given situation, we have others that might.  

 

This all made for a pretty good day for me.  

 

Bill Outman
