Re: Be My AI Rocks!

[Richard Turner]

Barbara, that is a great example of how wonderful Be My Eyes is!  You might want to send that example to the Be My Eyes team.  Even though sometimes it can take a while to get a description, it is well worth the wait.

At the time, it was truly revolutionary and they should get full credit for breaking the ground for handwriting recognition.  And yes, most apps do recognize handwriting now.  However, none have put the whole package together in such an easy and straight forward way as Be My Eyes. I keep trying all the other free, or free trial apps that offer AI descriptions, Be My Eyes is the easiest and often the best by quite a bit.  At least in my opinion.  Seeing AI is the best at immediate reading with the Short Text channel. I go to it first for most things I want to know what it says/is.  But if I want more of a detailed description, I use Be My Eyes.  Richard "There's a nap for that."  Sent from my iPhone On Jul 4, 2024, at 1:22 AM, Sieghard Weitzel <siegh...@live.ca> wrote:  The Seeing AI app also has a handwriting channel and on the few occasions where I had a reason to use it, the result was quite good as well.     From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Richard Turner Sent: Wednesday, July 3, 2024 10:21 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Be My AI Rocks!   And Be my AI can read handwriting.

Sometimes even works better than Seeing AI at reading mail. I love it too.

It’s been a while since I’ve used Be My Eyes, and especially its Be My AI feature. I’ve used Be My AI for reading various types of mail and packaging and it works pretty darn well.  For example, I can use it to read an envelope to decide whether the mail goes straight into the trash or is worth scanning its contents , or I can use it to read the full page of the notice that my landlord tapes to my door. For packaging, I can take a picture of a Trader Joe’s product, get nutritional information (is it high in sodium?), and get both stovetop and microwave cooking directions. All of that info can be copied and pasted into a notes app or anywhere else I might choose to do so for future reference. But anyway…   In the San Fernando Valley today it’s sweltering with temps in the upper 90s, so I turned on the central air and needed to check to see what my apartment’s inaccessible thermostat was set to. I grabbed my phone, loaded Be My Eyes and put Be My AI to the test. I went into the hallway, positioned the phone’s camera so that it could see the thermostat and took a picture. Be My responded by saying that it saw the wall with the thermostat, and when I asked what the thermostat was set to, it said that the lighting was too poor, whereupon I flipped the light switch and took another picture. That time, it could clearly see the thermostat, and when I again asked what it was set to, it told me that the temperature was set to 74 according to where the little red needle was pointing. Needless to say I was quite pleased that I didn’t have to get sighted assistance. That may not seem like such a big deal to some, but to me it was HUGE. That is yet another example of how, for me at least, BE My AI ROCKS!   For comparison purposes, I’ll use the Envision app to do similar things and I’ll let you all know how it goes. Take care, y’all.   Tom       -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.   If you have any questions or concerns about the running of this list, or if you feel that a member's post is inappropriate, please contact the owners or moderators directly rather than posting on the list itself.   Your V iPhone list moderator is Mark Taylor.
