There really are a few of us who can't seem to figure out focus issues and get even mediocre pictures, I can do a lot of things in the life but I can't drive and apparently I can't do reasonable pictures either. Still even with that limitation my iPhone does a lot of things with me that could not have happened even three years ago.

I don't know if I'd be willing to shell out $10.00 a month, but to try out, I don't think $8.00 is all that bad for 100 photos. Besides, supporting a dev's work and especially accessibility focused apps isn't a bad thing. Not everything can be free. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Steve Sent: Thursday, November 07, 2013 12:16 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Tap TapSee I can understand that people are disappointed, but people saying they'd rather have a one-time charge apparently don't understand the Terk crowd-sourcing model. Tap Tap See outsources the identification of pictures to people who are paid for each image they recognize. Since some people may use the app a lot more, the provision of a one-time charge would have to be high enough that some users would subsidize others, and a charge for the app makes no accommodation for continued ongoing expenses incurred for continuing to do image recognition. Unless there is grant funding from somewhere else, i.e. a foundation or charity, then somebody has to pay for the people who respond to requests to have images recognized.
