I still haven't gotten the products channel to recognize anything. The most I get is very fast beeps, which should indicate I'm close, but nothing else; I've done all I can think to do with the camera.

On 7/31/17, Dani Pagador <axs....@gmail.com> wrote:Hey, Kelby. I use an IPhone SE and a laptop. I hold the phone with the front facing camera pointing at the monitor; the bottom of the phone is parallel to the laptop keyboard. I've used the Short Text function to see what's going on with the computer, and can now see when Windows is trying to update before the start up message comes up. I've also used Short Text to look through a book at my parents' house that someone had left on the arm of the couch. It was really fun to be able to see what my Mom or sister was reading, and I think I'll snag the book to get some recipes out of it myself. I used the back camera and made sure it was just over the left edge of the page. I chose the back camera because I can tell where it is and what it's pointing to, as opposed to the front one. I tried using the app to identify a $20, and it did that, sort of. I knew beforehand what it was, so maybe it doesn't count. But the Short Text menu saw what I think is the serial number and the denomination. I'll go play with it some more when I can borrow David's working eyes to understand what is being seen, or not seen. I'm not the most steady-handed person with the camera, either, so will go practice. But I like what I've seen so far, and I'm hoping it keeps getting developed.

For now just use the Nand Money Reader app, it uses the back camera and you just have to hold the bill in front of the camera for a second and it will tell you what it is. I usually start the app, put the phone on the table or desk in front of mescreen down so the back camera faces up and then I hold the bill about6 or 8 inches above the camera. Only criticism I have about this app is that after whatever time interval you have set it wants to lock the screen and you have to touch the screen toprevent this or unlock it again if it locks. It would be easy for themtocode the app so that the screen lock is disabled as long as the app isin the foreground.

Also, there is so much clutter on a computer screen, it would be hard to get just the document in focus. You might try maximizing the window to see if that helps. But, maybe printing it then using Seeing AI would be better. The Short Text works fabulously on my Windows 10 screen at home and my Windows 7 screen at work. But, I only use it for messages that are popping up. Not for trying to read a document on the screen.

Dave -----Original Message----- From: Kelby Carlson Sent: Tuesday, July 25, 2017 9:51 AM To: viphone Subject: Seeing AI Short Text Function I've been playing around with my Seeing AI app the past couple ofdays. Since I don't have many print documents around the house, I'vebeen trying the short text function. At least when I have tried getting it to read the text on my computer screen I've had almost zero luck. No matter how close or far I put the camera from the screen, I get mostly gibberish and at best just the top of the window. Certainly never the main text of, say, a newspaper article. Ican't imagine how people are using this to read fast food restaurantmenus as many are claiming. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
