Re: Vizwiz is it still working?

2014-01-26 Thread Eric Caron
Hi Keith,

Can you tell me what kind of phone you used and what operating system?  
I'm beginning to wonder if the iPhone 4 or running iOS6 allows VizWiz to work.  
I'm using a 4S and a 5S both using iOS 7.04.

also, were you able to record a question, or did you just send a picture?

Re: Vizwiz is it still working?

2014-01-26 Thread Eric Caron
Hi Betty,

Thanks for this nice note.  I was not offended. I wanted to correct the 
comment that a vehicle would use only one tire size.  There are many 
possibilities for a single rim and several rims possible for most vehicles.  I 
also love the chance to talk about my camper van and it doesn't usually come up 
in connection to my iPhone.  though in fact VizWiz was especially helpful for 
me when double checking fluid containers such as engine oil verses transmission 
fluid.  the containers can feel the same.  VixWiz help a great deal in cutting 
down the times I had to wait for a sighted person to show up to ask such 
questions.

I'm sorry if my earlier message had a uncomfortable tone.

 Hi Betty and others,
 
 I have a 1985 Vanagon Westfalia.  It can use rims from 14 to 17 inches in 
 diameter and can run with ranges starting at 185 and up. Also some came with 
 alloy wheels and some with steel wheels and they were different sizes.   To 
 match my existing tire I would need to read the tire not just know the auto 
 and year.  VizWiz was a  great app for me as I could ask for exactly what I 
 needed and get a response.  It was helpful from reading the backs of stereos 
 to pizza directions.  I did not find other apps answered my questions.  Does 
 anyone still have VizWiz working?  Is there another app that has the ability 
 to ask a question  along with sending the picture?.

 Hi listers,
 
 I don't often turn to one of these apps like VizWiz or Tap Tap See, but when
 I do I like the help.  I prefer VizWiz because of the ability to ask a
 question.  Tap Tap See has been useless to me because the responses rarely
 tell me what I need to know.  today I was taking a picture of my Van's tire
 to ask them to read the writing for me but no matter what I did VizWiz would
 not work.  It acted like it was taking a picture but nothing was taken. It
 would not record a question.  Is it still working for other folks?  I tried
 it on both my 5S and 4S.
 
 I can't be bothered with Tap Tap See as I'm sure no matter how often  I send
 the picture with no questions I'll just get back the answer.  It is a
 wheel. So as the sale I wanted on tires is now over Not having the correct
 info from my tires was definitely a frustration.
 
 I'm hoping VizWiz is still working and just a glitch.  I even tried deleting
 and installing the app with no success.
 
 Any tips or info is appreciated.

Hi Betty and others,

I have a 1985 Vanagon Westfalia.  It can use rims from 14 to 17 inches in 
diameter and can run with ranges starting at 185 and up. Also some came with 
alloy wheels and some with steel wheels and they were different sizes.   To 
match my existing tire I would need to read the tire not just know the auto 
and year.  VizWiz was a  great app for me as I could ask for exactly what I 
needed and get a response.  It was helpful from reading the backs of stereos 
to pizza directions.  I did not find other apps answered my questions.  Does 
anyone still have VizWiz working?  Is there another app that has the ability 
to ask a question  along with sending the picture?.

Re: Vizwiz is it still working?

2014-01-11 Thread Kay Malmquist
I have not gotten it to respond in some time so assume it is not working any 
more.

Subject: Vizwiz is it still working?


Hi listers,

I don't often turn to one of these apps like VizWiz or Tap Tap See, but when 
I do I like the help.  I prefer VizWiz because of the ability to ask a 
question.  Tap Tap See has been useless to me because the responses rarely 
tell me what I need to know.  today I was taking a picture of my Van's tire 
to ask them to read the writing for me but no matter what I did VizWiz would 
not work.  It acted like it was taking a picture but nothing was taken.  It 
would not record a question.  Is it still working for other folks?  I tried 
it on both my 5S and 4S.

I can't be bothered with Tap Tap See as I'm sure no matter how often  I send 
the picture with no questions I'll just get back the answer.  It is a 
wheel. So as the sale I wanted on tires is now over Not having the correct 
info from my tires was definitely a frustration.

I'm hoping VizWiz is still working and just a glitch.  I even tried deleting 
and installing the app with no success.

Any tips or info is appreciated.

Eric Caron
