Re: Talking Goggles: Praising this little app!!'
We have a new washing machine and new dryer. Both have a screen where information is displayed. I want to know how long is it going to be before the load is washed or dried. It takes a bit of fooling around with moving my iPhone 4 closer or farther away but in the end I can get it to say 1 HR, 28 Mins etc. That makes the app useful as far as I'm concerned and that with a 3.2 megapixel camera on the iPhone 4. I've heard the 5-S will have a 12 megapixel camera. If that's true, it should make it even better. - Original Message - From: Krister Ekstrom kris...@kristersplace.com To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Friday, April 19, 2013 2:46 AM Subject: Re: Talking Goggles: Praising this little app!!' Hi, that's an interesting thing to hear. What i'm curious to know, however, is how people are doing with displays on for example Microwave ovens, washing machines, digital recorders and other things that have displays. I have had mixed results. Some give me enough info that i can act upon them and make settings based on the info on the display, and others won't work at all. I'm curious to know others thoughts and since the developer apparently is on this list, i want to say that reading displays are possible although with much patience and time and i wonder also if this reading in some way could be improved by maybe better ricognition of fonts used on the display or such? /Krister 18 apr 2013 kl. 22:45 skrev Eileens Misrahi eileen.misr...@gmail.com: Hello List, I just want to praise this little app. I needed to do a check disk using Win7.

Re: Talking Goggles: Praising this little app!!'
Hi, Firstly I want to say that this is the best app for reading things on the fly, due to the video mode. This saves the hassle of having to take numerous photos. I agree that my experience has varied. If I take my digital radio for example, I can read the station names as I scroll through them, but I cannot get enough information when scrolling through the menus to figure out which menu I have opened. I suspect that text size and contrast are the issue here. Hopefully as they fine tune the OCR algorithums and as iPhone cameras get better, things will improve. Apps like these could bring so much independence to people like us. Well they already are, but it can only get better. Huge praise and thanks to the developer of this app. I gave it a 5star rating on the day I grabbed it.

Re: Talking Goggles: Praising this little app!!'
I tried to use talking goggles to read the display on my microwave but it did not work at all. I have used it for other things like reading small bits of text on the front of envelopes and the computer screen when it decided to stop talking. The app does crash. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.
