What's the expression? You get what you pay for. Talking Goggles is written for a much larger market of sighted people, so they can make money from ads that are targeted to their market. Also, you must use the video stream, so you need a good wifi connection. I have never gotten individual pictures to work with this app. Finally, as you found, the developer has not put much effort into accessibility.
All that said, when the video stream is good and the wifi is strong, I have received nice success with this app. Because video data is data intensive, I usually will not use this app over 3g or 4g as it will more quickly use up my mobile data allotment for the month.
