Good morning Richard, I do not mean to clog the list but your address does not show, only your name. I have pressed reply and not reply all, but am not sure that my message won't go to the whole list. It is not a private message but meant only to clarify some of my questions since I am new to the list.
Are you developing or launching a new app? Is it in the APP store? What exactly is it called when you search for it? Is it free? Are listers testing it and providing feedback? Is it connected with some or other company? Thanks. Marilyn Dr. Marilyn Bland - Dallas, Texas -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Richard Turner Sent: Wednesday, July 12, 2017 9:58 PM To: 'ViPone list (viphone@googlegroups.com)' Subject: Seeing AI review First, for those who missed the details from the app description, this is a research project. I, like others, no doubt hope it continues to develop and improve. Though, in my opinion, for a first release, this is extremely impressive. It has different features available depending on the iOS device being used. I have the iPhone 5s and the 6s. The 5s has the following features, or as they call them, channels, available: Short Text Document Person Scene Beta. If you double tap on the menu button in the upper right, you also have Face Recognition. The 6s has: Short Text Document Product Person Scene Beta. If you double tap on the menu button, you also have Face Recognition. I have tested out all the channels. Short Text, works amazingly well. I wasn't hearing anything out of my computer when I turned it on, so I pointed the camera at the computer screen and almost immediately found out that Windows 10 was dealing with updates. Once Jaws finally kicked in and was saying the same thing, Seeing AI kept up with the changes darn near as quickly as Jaws did. Document, I have only done a few with it, but it is almost as good as KNFB reader for accuracy, plus it guides you as you position the phone and will tell you to hold steady when it has the whole page in view and will automatically take the picture. The biggest advantage of this app though is that it maintains the formatting! It will tell you there is a heading and it will separate paragraphs, so you can flick through sections of text with VoiceOver. Plus you can share the result. You cannot at this point add a second page, but this is worth a lot to me. Product, as others have noted, it is very fast and you have to hold it a ways away from the object depending on how big the object is. A small can, you can be closer than with a large box. Once it sees a bar code, it will start beeping and the beeps get faster and then you want to hold steady and it will tell you the result. Far faster than any other bar code app I have used. Person, this will simply tell you if there are faces in the camera view, then if you take a picture, it will guess at the gender and age of the person My wife it said was 41 the first time and she is 62. But, people have always said she looks much younger than she is. They probably didn't mean that young though, grin. Scene Beta, as it says, it is in beta. It tries to describe the scene when you take a picture. Not too bad, but it is a beta. Face Recognition, When you select that, it will ask you to take three pictures of someone, or have them take three pictures of themselves, then an edit box will appear and you can write in their name. When you point the camera at them later, it will say who they are. This works very quickly once you get a label entered. I have an iPod Touch 6th Generation that is running the iOS beta, so I'm not sure it isn't an iOS issue, but it just kicks me out of the app when I try to use it on the Touch. At this point, I'd give it a solid 4 stars. Just my two cents worth. Richard -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
