Hello Deb, Tap TapSee has a camera button. It works best for objects that are relatively close up. For example, it can recognize a coke can, an office style telephone set, even US currency, etc. It also appears as though the conversion might take place in the cloud, but not absolutely clear about that. The recognition may take up to 5 seconds. To gain confidence with it, I would shoot items that are close-up.

If I double tap on the about button there is a heading that says Tap Tap See and a subheading that says about this app but then when you double tap on it nothing happens! So far it just says picture 1 was null or something like that!

It's free in the app store. We have used this for about a week now, and it's pretty amazing at times. Today it said that I was in the Big Lot's parking lot.

I know Omoby can do this but I thought I recently heard a podcast that there's a new one out. If anyone knows please let me know, if not I'll have to go review the podcasts I subscribe to find it.
