Hello,
Does anyone know if the VizWiz app is still working? Frankly I've never used
it and just tried it for the first time but can't get it to work. It comes
back with an answers heading but there are no answers and it tells me to
start over. I tried using the Web Workers.
Thanks!

I tried VizWiz again this time using the IQ engine and I got an answer
almost immediately. I guess it depends on what you're asking also as to
which source would be the best.
