No cost.
I've done some testing on it, and for me at least, it doesn't work as well
as TapTapSee does.
Quite a number of times it just quit when I gave it a picture. I would wait
for a description, and the app just closed itself. I don't mean it stopped
running, just went into the background like when you hit the Home button.
It's also more complicated to operate. First you hit the Take Photo button,
which apparently opens the Camera app. Then, you have to hit a Take Picture
button. Finally, you have to hit a Use Picture button before it will try to
identify what the picture is. Then it says "loading" and you wait for a
description, which, as I said, most of the time I never got.
I took the same pictures of several things using Identifi and TapTapSee and
TapTapSee was more informative overall and worked every time, whereas, I did
get a couple of descriptions from Identifi, but the first one was
nonsensical, and I didn't quite understand all of the second one, which
leads me to another disadvantage of this app, you can't repeat anything. If
you miss the description, you have to go through the three step picture
taking process all over again. There are three settings in it, Text, where
it will try to read the text on something, High Accuracy Image, for a more
detailed description, and Low Accuracy for a more generic description. I
tried the Text setting with a jar of handcream and a bottle of something,
which I didn't know what it was. I got the nonsensical mumbling when I
snapped a picture of the jar of hand cream, and the app just quit when I
tried the bottle of whatever. Then I switched to High Accuracy and the app
still kept quitting. Then, I closed it and reopened it and took a picture of
a shelf of books with some papers lying on them. I got a description, which
I cannot recall and cannot get the app to repeat, and I did get a
description of a picture I took of some clothes lying on a chair, which was
about the same as TapTapSee gave me.
I think this app still needs a good bit of work to catch up to TapTapSee.
I'm still impressed with that apps abilities, and I've impressed many
sighted people with it as well. With its Text setting, Identifi has the
potential to do something TapTapSee currently doesn't, but it isn't there
yet for me.
I'm using an iPad Mini 4 with 128GB, so memory is not an issue.
