This may be of interest to some of you iPhone users. It would be better if
images could be intergraded into a single library database that the application
can scan for greater possibilities.

Accurate Object Recognition for Blind iPhone Users
LookTel's New Recognizer App Promises Fast and Accurate Object Recognition for
Blind iPhone Users
Hello from the team at AppleVis.
We wanted to let you know about a new app that's just been launched by LookTel.
It's called LookTel Recognizer, and builds upon the technology used in their
highly-regarded Money Reader app to offer fast and accurate recognition of
everyday objects, such as cans, packages, ID and bank cards, and DVDs.
Recognizer enables you to store images of objects in a library or database. You
then simply point your iPhone's camera at an object, and the phone will
instantly recognize and describe the item. A barcode scanner is also included
in the app to provide additional labeling help.
LookTel stress that users with severe vision impairments or blindness will
require sighted assistance to create the initial image library. The image
library must be setup before LookTel Recognizer can be used to identify
objects. Once the library exists, they say that less and less time is required
of a sighted person, as you will find Recognizer can already identify most
items that are used daily.
One neat feature of Recognizer is that it allows you to backup and export your
image library via E-Mail. This can be used to restore your library to a new
device, but it also makes it possible to share image libraries with other users
of the app.
It's been suggested that AppleVis could provide a mechanism for people to
upload and share LookTel Recognizer image libraries. This certainly sounds like
a great idea, and something that we will add to the site if there is enough
interest. There's a blog post on the site about this new app, so please add a
comment to that if you think sharing Recognizer libraries via AppleVis is a
good idea and something that you might make use of.
If you're already using LookTel Recognizer, also be sure to add a comment to
let us all know what you think of it.
LookTel Recognizer costs $9.99 and is available from the iTunes App Store.
