Hi all. The link at the end of this email is an audio clip of a demo
someone did on an app created for the blind called taptapsee. I
downloaded the app, and played around with it. For those of you who
have used Omoby, it is somewhat similar, yet a bit more intuitive. The
only thing I didn't like about the app was that so far, I haven't
figured out how to read the results again after it announces them. It
is an app that you can use to take a picture of an object and it will
will tell you what it is. I took a picture of my Grands biscuits,
Italian seafood sauce, double bubble gum ball machine, and my Sonic
drink cup, which is exactly what it read back to me. It told me Terra
was girls' one-piece pink pajamas with dogs. I gues I missed her face.
(grin) It was right on the money about the pj's though. The only thing
it missed was when it told me my plate of biscuits and gravy was chips
and rice. Oh yes and there were hash browns on there too, so I can see
why it might have mistaken. If nothing else, this app is fun to play
with. Enjoy.
