Hi Ravi, Thank you for your mail. Please do provide suggestions to help us better this. We have tried to reduce the time to recognize and also have ensured that the app works offline.
We are currently working on getting some of the new notes added to the dataset. I do agree that we should be able to add new currencies as they get added and that is exactly our endeavor. It would be great if you can share you contact information at [email protected] and all of us at 6 by 6, would be happy to work with you and anyone else on this. We understand the challenges and look at technology as an enabler not a replacement to accessible currency. Appreciate your feedback and thoughts on this.

I'm glad to try out your app and provide you with constructive feedback so it might be helpful in making still more improvements. I don't have any mind of commenting about your app severely, because, I'm glad you are trying to do something useful to visually impaired community I'm glad about that. I can agree with the opinion that, when we are outside it poses a problem in instantly recognizing the notes quickly while paying at an establishment, maul, taxy drivers etc. So my suggestion is, if possible, kindly reduce the time the app takes to recognize a note, if possible, it should be very short. If the time of recognition is reduced, it will surely reach it's purpose. Further, Some say, the currency have to be made accessible for visually impaired, Yes I Agree with the statement, "they should be made accessible." However, there are many flaws in the idea, or, the approach to it has to be considered in a different manner. For example, if they make some notes with some markings which can be felt by us and find out what denomination it is, many of the times, as the currency flows through many hands and through ATM's, those markings on the note get very soft or undetectible as time passes. Further, When we say, currency should be made accessible, they cannot withdraw all existing notes of every denomination and reprint them with accessible marking or any kind of accessibility. For that, alternatively We can notify the proper powers to bring some kind of app or a gadget which might assist us in the day to day problem of identifying currency notes. Okay, some people may not be having android phones, or still might be using older phones. One solution for all this is, bringing a portable, light wait, handheld, miniature, battery powered, chargeable, device, about the size of the regular debit or credit card, which should recognize the note when placed on it, or something near to that. which should be accurate and should be able to recognize currency notes of every denomination within the time of one or two seconds and give audible feedback to the user in the kind of speach what value of note it has detected. And, later, if any changes are made to any notes, or if any new notes are released, the device's software should be able to update over our phone's bluetooth or by connecting it to our computer like that, so it will be having updated software about the newly released notes also. If this idea is incorporated and some proper people and powers take interest in the matter, this might become a very useful and final solution for all the problems we are having in day to day transaction of our indian currency notes. Hope this is not negative in any manner. Thank you. On 1/13/19, Pranav Lal <[email protected]> wrote: > <snip 2.
