RE: playing with AI Polly
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.

Re: playing with AI Polly
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.

playing with AI Polly
hi, I don't seem to be having much success with these camera apps here today. having scored a resounding zero with talking goggles, I tried a I Polly. about two times in every 10 I get some sort of generally acceptable result. most of the time, however, I hear "I'm not sure". what really gets me is the lag. I hold the camera to look in One Direction and wait, nothing happens, I move the camera and try again somewhere else, only to find that, sometimes, I get a result from the previous shot. basically, this makes this app useless to investigate ones surroundings, because you can have no sense of what is where. has anyone else been watching the demonstrations with Google Glass, velacents or orcam? either they are falsely representing themselves or they really can respond in real time. when I first heard of AI Polly, yesterday, I thought "at last!"but, unless I am doing something seriously wrong, this is a great disappointment. for me, it is actually quicker and more accurate to use CamFind. I am hoping that this app will improve with time, but I'm not going to hold my breath… is anyone else having better success? Because if you are, I would love to hear it.
