Just to add to this. I have a C Crane radio which has the 2 meter ham
band. Since I wanted to set the five presets, I attempted to use
Taptapsee to identify the digits on the display. I am pretty sure I had
the display on focus with good lighting. So I took the picture and was
told that it was a gray Crane radio. This sort of thing just adds to my
frustration.
In fairness to the software, I have gotten good results on other occasions.

Hey Kay,
Lol, I have had the same thing happen and had the same conversation
with my iPhone and Tap Tap See.
I have a couple of other scanner apps on my phone so usually I will
try those first and use Tap Tap See sparingly for the exact reason you
just stated.

Hi,
I write the following in humility and with the utmost respect. While I too
have always been a proponent of an ask a specific question feature and think
it certainly could serve only to enhance the usefulness and efficiency of
the app for all users, it seems to me that your reaction in this instance
might be a bit unfair. After all given the scope of the information the app
delivers to recognizers at this juncture they did give accurate information
based on that which they had available to them. You know what they say
about assuming (smile). We can’t assume that what we wish to know is
obvious to them any more than they could or necessarily should assume that
they can deduce exactly that you wanted the actual text of the fortune. In
truth I’m amazed that it came out clearly enough for someone to eventually
recognize for you. Again I’m not disagreeing that an ask a specific
question via text feature in the app isn’t greatly longed for and perhaps
necessary to enhance its usefulness. I’m just saying that I’m glad your
rant was first directed at us as opposed to them (smile).
Perhaps when the heat of the moment has dissipated a request for such a
feature and explanation of how it could only benefit both users of the app
and those who recognize images might be easier for you to send their way.
Just my two cents no one asked for and no one is obligated to live by.

Subject: a tap tapt see rant
I need to write this to the people at Tap Tap See, but right now I am
anything but constructive. For some odd reason I love to know what my
fortune cookie says. So I started tap tap see and took a picture. first
come back was, "fortune cookie paper". Brilliant deduction Sherlock. I am
blind not dense. Next came back with numbers. Oops! wrong side so I flip
it over. Then next I get, "white paper with black text". No kidding! Next
I finally am treated to the actual fortune. Now I had another one stuffed
in my jacket pocket so I decided since I was in picture wasting mode I
might as well try for more. First was fortune cookie paper, then text on
white paper, then numbers, my bad again, turn it over. Then back to same
stuff different side. Finally, the words I had been waiting to hear. all
in all, 11 pictures wasted before outcome is achieved. I have paid for 100
pictures and feel this is a huge rip off. If I had a way to ask even though
in this case I don't feel I should have to state the obvious, A lot of time
and wasted effort could have been eliminated. Any thoughts anybody?
