Hi Carol. Not sure I understand your question. Tap Tap See has been a free app and service but has decided they need to charge to keep this service going. They will be charging $8 to receive and recognize 100 pictures. Or you can subscribe to a monthly service with unlimited number of pictures

Unfortunately, the only fix, if you want to call it a fix, I perfer the word pain, is to do the 2 finger swipe down the screen to have voiceover to read the entire page. This method is a pain, neusance, time waster and even more so a battery drainer! It would be nice to be able to quickly swipe

Again, you are missing the point. you are again, comparing eggs and tomato, and deciding what will cost a farmer more, to have chickens or to grow tomatos. You got to compare service against service, goods against goods. From my understanding, TiVo does not only serve blind people. TiVo is for

The app is free, but you can't do anything with it unless you pay? Sounds like buying a car and being told that you have to pay extra for the engine, wheels and tires. But that seems to be the trend, as many developers are doing this, i. e. the Seeing Eye GPS app, and the various sports apps

LOL Seriously though, this would represent a dramatically more strenuous exertion on Apple's part as gatekeeper to the iOS ecosystem. Vetting all those app submissions for accessibility strikes me as a rather costly undertaking. Now I know the response is that you wouldn't expect them to screen
