RE: playing with AI Polly

[Lelia]

Hi Sandy, yep I'm having your same issues my friend.  I too struck out with 
talking goggles which is sad because I used to use that app a lot and 
absolutely loved it.  But it doesn't work now.  So you're not alone.

hi Anna,
I am using an iPhone six and the latest iOS. it is true that we have very bad 
connectivity here, but, as I understand it, the app does not require the 
Internet to work.

thanks, Sandy

Re: playing with AI Polly

[Woody Anna Dresner]

Hi,

I just tried Goggles. It was slow, but it did identify a CD and speak the word 
Mute, which referred to the Mute button on a microphone. So it seems to be at 
least somewhat functional. I turned Flash on first. I imagine the degree of 
lighting makes a difference.

Best,
Anna

Hi Sandy,

I played around with AI Poly last night and had pretty good luck. I got a 
response within a couple of seconds when I pointed it at things. I'm using a 6s 
Plus. What are you using?

Re: playing with AI Polly

[Monica Jones]

I never did have luck with talking goggles. I'll see how I do with this one. 
It's free now so it can't hurt. Oh, no, I think it was free yesterday. If 
that's the case, I missed out.
