Yes, and I think you will like it. Say, Ann, I have a friend that has that goggles program you talked about. She says she doesn't like it any more after it updated itself. I told her about TapTapSee, and I think she is going to give it a try. Am I to understand that you still like the goggles

Hello Gigi, Yes, I still use Talking Goggles and it works great for me. I use it in video mode and hold it about a foot away from whatever I'm trying to identify. One thing you have to remember about Goggles is that it won't work if your iPhone is on silent, as it is self-voicing. I use it to

I like it quite a lot as well. It is great for identifying groceries. You do sometimes have to move whatever you are looking at, of course, if you are not pointed at the right section of a box or jar, but this is equally true for having to take pictures. It is very quick and no

I want to remind everyone that you get 20 pictures free when you get the TapTapSee app. I love the app. I purchase the 1 or 3 month unlimited package so I don't have to worry about the number of pictures I take. I am a TVI and use it with some of my kids. Sometimes they take 3 pictures in very

Hello All, I'll start with TapTapSee first. As others have said, one needs to be a good picture taker to use the app well without wasting the picture count. I have used TapTapSee to recognize T-shirts with writing or a motif on it. After it has been recognized, I use the Looktel Recognizer

Hello! This is one of those apps that is useful if you don't have a sighted person always around. My husdand and I are both blind, and we use Taptapsee, for example, to determine if a can is tomato or apple sauce if they are equal in shape and side. To read the names on things that come into

Hello there I think it is useful with you have a sighted person around or not. I prefer to do my own thing instead of getting my husband to look at stuff all the time. Trust me, I'd rather ask a computer. They don't get upset because you interrupted something. As for expense, I don't think

Hello Jürgen, I have Tap Tap See, but I prefer Talking Goggles as it works in real time rather than having to take a picture. Also, you only pay for the Talking Goggles app and it's really cheap. After that, it's free. I use Talking Goggles to identify items in my fridge and cupboards. The

There is a monthly rate and a 3 month rate. When the month or 3 months is up you aren't charged until you start it and at tht time you can choose your payment option. This time I paid for 3 months and, I believe, it was $24.99. That works out to less than $9.00 per month. On 3/1/14, Mark
