Hi Dmitriy. Thanks for confirming what I suspected was happening. Might there be a way to force crowd sourcing in a future release? For example, I took a picture of a bottle of wine the other day. The object recognition engine came back with "wine bottle". Well Dah. Lol. I'd really like to have been able to force a crowd source on the picture to see if I could get more specific.
Thanks for a great app. Jonathan On 2/02/2013, at 1:52 PM, Dmitriy Konopatskiy <dmit...@taptapseeapp.com> wrote: > Alex, > > After you click to take a picture does the app say "Picture 1 Take" or any > other number for that matter? > > -Dmitriy > > On Fri, Feb 1, 2013 at 3:49 PM, Alex Stone <alexstone...@btinternet.com> > wrote: > Lauren, I had a feeling that was how it did it, but wasn't sure.
