Also, it might help if you can ask a sighted friend or family menber to
observe you when you try to use the Document or barcode channels, they might
be able to give you feedback which might help down the road.
All in all I still think that Seeing AI is an awesome tool offering so many
features in one app and I commend Microsoft for developing this app. The
nice thing is that Microsoft has the resources to continue development and
updates and it is probably a lot less likely to be one of those apps which
start so promising and then end in a fizzle before they disappear or simply
remain in the app store for years without updates.
Best regards,
Sieghard

Sounds like you are describing User Error in your post.
You can be assured that if the bar code is in focus it will read, assuming
the code is in the data base. The fast beeping is to guide you to the code.
When using Short Text mode, the app only needs to get a quick picture of the
page. You should then either move your device away or put your hand over
the camera and just listen to it read.

quite often it beeps and beeps really fast but doesn't read anything, i
wanted it to read some baby food jars but it wouldn't do it for ages and
then suddenly begin to read it and i never knew what made it finally read
it. it was so frustrating and a thing that should take a few seconds could
often waste more than 5 minutes. also why does the document channel only
read a tiny part of the page, it does not read the whole thing so i use the
short text channel but that is annoying because if you move even slightly it
starts from the beginning again. i thought seeing ai would be so good but as
often with blindness technology it is not what it is cracked up to be and
leaves you with frustration with the lack of sight.

If you want to read mail or some printed info, use the quick text mode.
Raise your phone up slowly from the printed text and it will start reading.
This is a live reading, no processing, so when it starts reading you can
pull the phone away, and it will continue reading what it saw.
To read bar codes go to product mode, and it will beep faster as it begins
to see the bar code. Try those two out for now.

Hello everyone,
Could someone please give me some tips on how to possibly use Seeing AI?
I've tried to get it to work a couple of times now, with absolutely no luck!
I think it's human error. I really don't know for sure though.
I tried to read a can yesterday. It wouldn't do anything. So I switched
channels and tried to read a piece of mail. Again, nothing happened.
I am holding the camera above the item, and moving the phone slowly back and
forth.
Is this how I should do it?
Any thoughts or advice would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
Terri
