Re: [Audyssey] Color idenfitying program
Actually Jeremy, i'd find that handy as well. At the moment I have to be fairly careful with thins or boxes, sinse I can't read the print and only some are recognizable colours. The only issue is I wonder how you'd cope with the ocr? remember I'd be using it on British stuff rather than us, so if it only identified us brands by some form of recognition I might have a problem.

Re: [Audyssey] Color idenfitying program
In America, quite possibly, sinse American money is irritatingly all the same colour and design (or it was when I was lastt over there), only the numbers on the notes are different.

For all of you severely Vi/blind guys who have a webcam, or a laptop with a webcam mounted on it, this is a small program for identifying colors. Lets say you are picking out clothes to wear. You hold the shirt in front of the laptop (or camera), press the Space bar, and a voice tells you what color it is as well as the next 2 most likely colors. I say "most likely" because webcam settings, room lighting, and even the types of light bulbs in the room can tint objects and offset the color a little. From my testing at home, it is pretty accurate. I was just wondering if something like this would be useful. www.kaldobsky.com/audiogames/ColorWatcher.zip If anyone wants to give it a try, here it is. Press Space bar to check a color and press Escape to end the program. As a tip, hold the item close to the camera lens before you press the Space bar, and keep it there until the color is spoken. It works best this way.
