Re: Reading digital displays on ovens and thermostats
I have forgotten the technical details of it now, but a service with a human reading the information may be the best bet, for now. There is something about the light emited by digital displays that a human can read with little or no problem, but technology can not read very well, if at all. I hope it will get better in the future. The best solution is to have someody with whom you can face time to read it, services like Be My Eyes and Aira being a good solution, too.

RE: Reading digital displays on ovens and thermostats
Sorry, I should mention one exception where I find I get pretty good results with an app. I have a thermostat controlling the in-floor heating in the kitchen and here interestingly enough I get the best results using Tap Tap See, if I aim the camera well I usually get something like "White Digital Thermostat showing 26 degrees or whatever the temperature is set as. Interestingly enough other apps like Seeing AI don't give me anything. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Keith Kramlinger Sent: Tuesday, April 11, 2023 11:18 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Reading digital displays on ovens and thermostats hi, Can any of the available text reading apps successfully read digital temperatures on oven and thermostat devices?
