Carol, The app utilizes an algorithm database, as well as crowdsourcing. You don't need to upload anything into the app itself. Just try it out for yourself, https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/taptapsee/id567635020?mt=8
Also, you can always direct your questions at TapTapSee directly on Twitter: @TapTapSee <http://Twitter.com/TapTapSee>. Hope that helps!
