This is a very good question as I recall this prompt prominently displayed
when first installing the app. I think a little more information would make
new users a little less nervous as to possible repercussions if enabling or
disabling.

Dmitriy,
Are you able to share what TapTapSee does with location data?
I'm happy to leave it on, even if it's only for diagnostic purposes.
But I would like to know what it is used for first.
Cheers.

Lauren,
It is a combination of a database algorithm and crowdsourcing. The image
does not always go to a human for identification. We have a complex
technology behind TapTapSee.
I actually work for the company that developed TapTapSee.
As you mentioned, TapTapSee's new update does in fact have an automated
flash in case the picture is taken in a dark place. It also has a repeat
button. We're currently working on more upgrades for the app. As I said
in
a different thread, if anyone would like to give feedback or suggestions
you can always contact us via Twitter http://Twitter.com/TapTapSee or you
can simply drop a line to me at dmit...@taptapseeapp.com.
Hope you enjoy the app! :)

Hi all,
I think it is important we keep in mind how this free object recognizer
app works. Its unfortunate that the details are not provided in app
store.
This TapTapSee app seems to work by employing a type of crowd sourcing.
In
other words, when you take a picture it is actually human beings
responding. This is how it knows it is a dog or man on the picture. This
also may explain why only general descriptions of objects are provided
such
as "black shoe," "$20," "yellow blouse," "Lysol wipes," etc. I'm not
certain yet that any sort of database of known objects is employed as
might
be the case with bar code scanners.
Please try the following for best results:
*use under good lighting conditions. (I believe most current update
automatically turns on flash if it is needed.)
*try to take one picture at a time and give enough time so the person on
other side can send back their description
*Try placing eye of camera at center of object or what will be the
picture
to be recognized.
*If too proximal to object then back off and if too distal then bring
camera a little closer.
*Personal suggestion: try not to get too picture happy and snap pictures
of rocks, sand, or other frivolous objects as those individuals out
there
recognizing objects might feel as though they are wasting their time
describing meaningless things.
Sorry if I insult anyone by changing the subject field its just that I
thought I would change it to accurate reflect the topic of this thread.

No Carol, you just take a pic and the app does a very good job of
identifying the object. You don't need to do anything else.
I think this app is one of the best I have ever downloaded. Here are a
few of the things I've tested it on with great success, trying it out
for
a
class of students thinking of buying iPhones.
Identified a ten pound note, identified shampoo and conditioner
bottles,
told me colour of shirts, told me pattern on duvet, identified jar of
coffee, identified can of coke, read title of CD, and more.
Been chatting to others on Twitter and the overall verdict is that this
app is great.
I don't know how it works, just that it does, and brilliantly.

Where does its database come from? Do you have to create one from
objects to start with?

What's the big attraction about this app in terms of taking pictures,
so
far as visually impaired people are concerned?
I missed out on the beginning of talk about this app and would really
like to know why it's getting popular!

Sent from my iPhoneWith good lighting, the app was very accurate.
Is seems
that the result is only spoken once. Can you get the results to
repeat? All
suggestions are welcomed.
Thanks in advance.
