Hi all, there's a new update to the LookTel Recognizer now out in the iOS App Store.
here's the linkie and a description for those whom might not know about it. Enjoy! Cara :) --- http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/looktel-recognizer/id501088555?mt=8&ls=1 Description LookTel Recognizer allows users with visual impairments or blindness to identify cans, packages, ID or credit cards, DVDs, and similar items. Users can store images of objects in a library or database, and then simply point the iPhone's camera at an object and the phone will recognize and describe the item instantly. A barcode scanner is also included to provide additional labeling help. LookTel Recognizer is powered by an evolution of LookTel's patented and proprietary object recognition technology featured in LookTel's "Money Reader", an app that has helped thousands of users with visual impairments or blindness to instantly identify and count bills. There's no need to hold the camera still or capture a photo and wait for a result – recognition happens instantly, and in real-time. Additionally, the app does not require an active internet connection, which means it can be used at any location, anytime. Recognizer allows users to backup and export their created databases via E-Mail, enabling them to restore a database from lost or replaced devices, share it with other members of the community. Please note that users with severe visual impairments or blindness will require sighted assistance to initially create the image library. The image library must be setup before LookTel Recognizer can be used to identify objects. Using Recognizer Once the app is downloaded on your iOS device, you must create an image library before you can start recognizing items. Creating the library is easy, and can be fun, especially if you have a friend or family member who is a shutterbug. While it may seem to take a lot of time, it takes far less than most people imagine to create an excellent library of images. Once the library exists, less and less time is required of a sighted person, as you will find Recognizer can already identify most items that are used daily reliably and accurately every time. ...More IPPLEX Web SiteLookTel Recognizer Support What's New in Version 1.1 - Faster loading of application, especially with large databases - Fixed start-up crashes due to large databases - Improved recognition database performance - Export emails now broken into 100 item segments - Bluetooth output enabled - Shake to stop audio descriptions - Barcodes recognized now pop up an alert view with a description when in VoiceOver - Added additional barcodes. - Autolock is disabled - Added sound while program is initializing. - Added an email item button to the Detail Screen - Added additional accessibility hints to buttons. - Added opt-in switch to Settings and a one-time dialog box for allowing certain types of analytics to be gathered. - Silence torch on/off alerts while capturing - Removed Library Locked option from the Settings Screen - The ring silence switch no longer silences application audio. - Updated in-app documentation. - Updated UI. --- View my Online Portfolio at: http://www.onemodelplace.com/CaraQuinn Follow me on Twitter! https://twitter.com/ModelCara -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
