Hi Esther and everyone -- Esther, you have an amazing memory! Yep, I sure do have an iPhone 4S, and have posted about this before. Everything should be pretty much golden. I'm not using a case; I've tried all manner of distances and angles and have even had a sighted person do the same; and other

The money reader has worked very well for me. I find that I have a tendency to hold the phone too close to the money, but if I don't do that, the response is quick and accurate. Mary Mary Otten motte...@gmail.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google

HI Grant and Kimber, Grant, I know you've posted about this before -- that you were not able to get Looktel Money Reader working even with sighted help -- but I'm frankly baffled. As I recall, you now have an iPhone 4S, right? I've tried this app out with an iPhone 4 on US, Australian, and Canadi

Grant if you have not dropped the devs a note I would encourage you to do so. There must surely be something going on because if taking pictures works well then there seems to be little reason the app cannot identify money. Have you tried removing and reinstalling the app? I have no idea if this

Hi Grant, I just tried Looktel Money Reader, which I hadn't used for a while. It used to recognize bills very quickly, but that doesn't appear to be the case any more for me. I have an iPHone 4S. What I found works reliably is to hold the camera over the bill, about six inches away, and hold it

Interesting - I wonder why everybody's experiences differ so much? There must be some other factor of which we're not aware. I literally have never had one scrap of money spoken to me by the Looktel Money Recognizer - even though I have had sighted assistance to make sure that every conceivable an

That is very interesting because the LookTell apps have worked very well for me. The INote app was very disappointing. On Jun 8, 2012, at 1:50 PM, Kimber Gardner wrote: > I haven't had a lot of luck with the looktel money reader either. My > iPhone is less than a month old so I'm sure it's not t

I haven't had a lot of luck with the looktel money reader either. My iPhone is less than a month old so I'm sure it's not the camera. I've had more success with eyenote, which I believe is an app from the treasury dept. As for the other looktel app I don't have it and so can't comment. Kimber On
