Re: no success with Google goggles

[Monica Jones]

I might have to try this app again, but when I did have it, I couldn't get 
it to read at all. I'll have to get it back and see if I find it better. 
Once in awhile, I might get it to detect a letter but that was about it. I 
did test in good light.

Hi,

I just downloaded Talking Goggles again after not having used it for a while 
and when I used it in video mode on a package of Knorr Chicken Broth, it 
read out "Chicken" almost right away so it does appear to still work. Also, 
I just looked it up on the app store and according to what it says there it 
was last updated on August 13, 2015 and the current version is 2.1. Not sure 
why some people have reported there is an update today unless there is an 
update in the US app store and it may not yet show up in the Canadian app 
store. Fort hose who had an update, can you check the version and what it 
says in the "What's New" section? The /August 13 update only has one fix:


it may not it was indeed updated here is what it says for the "What's New" 
section for the latest update from :


"Resolved an issue with the spoken voice."

Best regards,
Sieghard

I’m really interested in this app. Is it google goggles or talking goggles? 
Also, if lighting isn’t good will the app turn the flash on or do you go 
into the control center and turn the flashlight on then use the app? Also do 
you have success with this app and identifying pantry items. I always have 
so much trouble with canned goods?


Thanks for any clarification,
Christina

It works great for me on my iPhone5.

Hello Sandy,

For Goggles to work, your phone must not be on silent and the app needs good 
lighting or to have the flash turned on.
It works great for me on my iPhone5.

Cheers,

no success with Google goggles

[Robin Christopherson]

Christina

It’s Talking Goggles you want and not Google Goggles although I wouldn’t be 
surprised if it used the same engine. Talking Goggles is the one that will 
automatically read out what it recognises. It does need light but you’ll see a 
Flash button at the top of the app screen so try toggling it for better results 
if it isn’t doing well. I have had mixed results with packaging but find that 
it usually ends up recognising something (either a logo, picture or some text) 
on one of the sides - enough to tell me what the package, tin or CD is at 
least. It isn’t as good as KNFB Reader, for example, for text recognition but 
keeping it in constant record mode and just holding things underneath it for a 
few seconds is such a nice way to have some feedback that I find this app 
invaluable and definitely has its place. For info I’ve used it on a 5S and a 6S.

Thanks, Robin
