Hi, 

I really value your post. I have been one of those who have been out on the 
fence and not purchase a 100 picture package, nor have I updated TaTapSee, 
which sits in my app store. Do you have Talking Goggles? I know it's not 
perfect, but it could give you enough of the info to identify the items you 
need. I just used it yesterday when I needed to trouble shoot my computer 
screen and give me the info I needed to make a decision on how to proceed. It's 
just a thought. Like you, I am disappointed that TapTapSee changed their 
business model, but I do understand why. In the past, there had been times when 
I needed to take more than one picture and the picture and would have counted 
against my 100 count. It's not that I object to supporting the debs and paying 
the fee, but I would like to have increased accuracy in the responses. I guess 
I am still one of the luckier ones that I still get a response to VizWiz when I 
send them a picture. JMO. 

Best,
Eileen
