Hi, in my recent stay in Austin I was in a hotel and needed to find out
which button setting would put the thermostat to the air conditioning. I
knew I had a 50/50 outcome possible since the button was a 3 position
button. Middle being off, and left being AC and right being heater.
However I didn't know that at the time. I used Vizwiz to ask the
question, which setting is for the air conditioner. Left or right. The
first time I got the response that I was too far from the thermostat. So
I took a closer picture, and eventually I got 5 responses. However all
of them were dead wrong. The responses ranged from white, to 71, to
thermostat. None of which actually answered my question. So I gave it up
as a bad job and flipped the switch to the left, since on mine at home,
left is AC, and sure enough, I gambled right.

Hi Nimit,
It all depends on the question you record along with your picture. If, for
example, I send a picture of the LCD screen of my thermostat via VizWiz and
do not record a question like "What is the temperature shown on this
thermostat display"? I may not get an answer or maybe I get an answer like
"LCD screen with numbers".
The advantage of VizWiz is that you can send a picture to a web worker and
ask a very specific question regarding the picture. I haven't used Tap Tap
See, but I don't recall reading that you can send a question along with your
picture, can you?
Regards,
Sieghard

Hello!
I heard there are people who work for it and answer question of the
picture you send unless it's computorized already? Maybe your picture
wasn't so common and the person took a while to get to you? Just a
guesss. I have tried wiz-wiz and I am really confused. Thanks!
The descriptions sometimes don't help me.

Hello Debbie:
I am sorry that you got such a slow response from vizwiz. that is not the
norm. Try switching on IQ engine and see if you get a better response. I
am
a fan of both Tap Tap See and vizwiz. Having options never hurts :).
Let us know if switching on IQ engines works for you if you try it.
Take good care and I wish you enough.

Thanks Patrick,
Yes, I finally got an answer but it sure was slow. I was using the Web
Worker option.
I think I may stick with TapTap See!
Thank you!

Hello Debbie:
Vizwiz is working here. Remember to take the picture, make the recording,
stop the recording, press send and wait for a few seconds. sometimes,
depending upon the picture, it might take a few minutes to receive a
response. It took about 7 minutes for me to receive a response to a
picture of a can I took on Saturday.
I also have IQ engines checked.
Please let us know if that information proves useful to you.
Take good care and I wish you enough.

Hello,
Does anyone know if the VizWiz app is still working? Frankly I've never
used it and just tried it for the first time but can't get it to work.
It
comes back with an answers heading but there are no answers and it tells
me to start over. I tried using the Web Workers.
Thanks!
