Well, there should be more options to pay.  I use the app often and would 
have no problem paying something, but those options do not fit my needs.  To 
waste money on pictures that come back with the wrong info or not telling 
you what you are needing to know is simply not acceptable to me.  I will 
find other options.

For currency, LookTel is a one-time fee. It will only recognise currency.

For object recognition, Recognizer works quite well. It is also a one-time 
fee. It does not require an internet connection, but one must already have a 
good picture of the object in the database on one's iOS device. I remember 
well how much complaining occurred because it was so unreasonable that the 
developers would put out an app which required assistance from sighted 
people for getting the personal database set up.

VizWiz is free and does the same thing TapTapSee does. However, VizWiz 
relies on volunteers, so sometimes delays can be very significant before 
one's picture is recognised. TapTapSee pays for the identification, so the 
recognition comes back very quickly.

The fact is, this is an ongoing fee for TapTapSee, so a one-time charge 
would not cover the fees for very long considering that we blind are such an 
insignificant share of the market.
