Please remember, for Goggles, the video stream is being constantly compared against a library of images. For TapTapSee, the picture is both compared with images, and checked by a person. VizWiz having you ask a question gives the person checking the image an idea of what you are actually seeking. For the other two, it is best guess and/or best image match.
To me, all of the above are quite impressive.
