Thank you both for the responses. I agree, this doesn't sound like an
ideal solution for braille users. I hope you both had a fantastic
holiday!

Braille does not keep up with speech but it remains available so after it has 
found text, you can move the phone away and still read the Braille.

Hi Scott,
I just did.
There is a trial, but the only channel I could see trying to use with braille 
is the document scan mode, and I doubt it would be worth buying since there are 
other document scanning apps that work fine with braille displays.

The scan mode and quick read would be pretty hard to use as you have to keep 
the phone over the document and the braille doesn't seem to keep up with what 
is being spoken.
You may want to give the free trial a try.
But, I'm thinking it is not the best fit for braille only.

young."

Did you try this with Seeing AI or another OCR app to compare?

I Richard,
When I read your other email on the pricing. I took it to say it would be $99 a 
year. Is this the way you read it? If that is the case it would be really 
expenseve.  I remember paying about $75 for KNFB as I thought I got it for a 
good price. That app did not pan out very well. I am like you Richard. It seems 
really expensive.

Subject: Supersense, initial impressions

I’ve spent the last hour or so running SuperSense through its various modes, 
thanks to Shane’s promo code.

in the document mode, Pros: I like the way it prompts you with specific 
messages, like move farther from the document; move an inch to the left, etc.
I like the music while processing, very nice.
The accuracy is very good.

Cons: like most OCR apps, it cannot handle columns.  If it did, I would 
possibly buy it.

Bar codes, Pros: Very fast.
Cons: it did not recognize a hardback book ISBN while Seeing AI’s product 
channel did.  Otherwise, I think pretty even.

Currency, Pros: very fast.
Cons: I was scanning a $10 bill and when I moved the camera sideways, a couple 
times after saying $10, it said $50.
That would be too confusing to someone who did not know or have another money 
identification app to double check with.

Explore Mode, Pros: pretty quick and generally accurate.  I could see this 
helping someone in a hotel room find things like light switches, thermostats, 
etc.
Cons: none at this time.

Smart Scan, Pros: very fast and pretty accurate.
Cons: it does not seem any better than Seeing AI’s Short Text mode.

Quick Read, Pros: seems very fast.  Also quite accurate.

No cons at this time.

Overall:  I most certainly would never pay $100 for this app.
I’m doubtful I would even spend $50.

If I did not have other apps to get my scanning needs met, I would seriously 
consider spending the $50, but I’m not in need of it right now with the other 
apps I have.

I wish it would start each mode in the stopped position rather than immediately 
begin trying to scan.

I will keep exploring uses for it and write if I have updates worth while to 
add.

Hi Shane,
I have sent you a few messages, not sure if you want to sorry not sure if you 
received them. I really really really like your app. The only thing I wish, is 
that I had waited until it went on sale I would’ve stayed money and still 
enjoyed the app.
I recommend it to many of my colleagues and friends.
Thank you very much.

Re: Supersense, initial impressions

[Ryan Mann]

I downloaded Super Sense yesterday and I am pretty impressed with it.  One 
thing I noticed is that it tells me the wrong amount on dollar bills some 
times.  I had a one dollar bill and I was told it was a two dollar bill.  I 
have enough vision to be able to tell that I is a one dollar bill if I put it 
close enough to my eyes.  Also, I emailed you privately about speaking on Tech 
Time.  Did you get the emails?

Hi Richard,
Apparently it can detect handwriting automatically. You will not find a setting 
or an option designated as handwriting.

superior to that of Seeing AI and Envision. I will do more testing in the next 
few days, but I am happy with what I found so far.
I also agree with your suggestion. The future update should put the instant 
read in the off position, or give the users the choice in the settings.
Cheers

Quick Read, Pros: seems very fast.  Also quite accurate.

No cons at this time.

Overall:  I most certainly would never pay $100 for this app.
I’m doubtful I would even spend $50.

If I did not have other apps to get my scanning needs met, I would seriously 
consider spending the $50, but I’m not in need of it right now with the other 
apps I have.

I wish it would start each mode in the stopped position rather than immediately 
begin trying to scan.

I will keep exploring uses for it and write if I have updates worth while to

Re: Supersense, initial impressions

[Shane Lowe]

Chris,
I'm sorry for the confusion, I did reach out to you yesterday but
something must have gotten lost on the way. I will be resending your
promo code after I send this message.

Richard, thanks very much for the honest and thorough review. We
currently have a system which can process columns, and are in the
implementation phase now. I will also reach out to our development
team about adding the ability to scan ISBN numbers; that's a really
good idea.

The other thing I should mention about our price is that it includes
all of the features we are currently developing. While the app is
relatively expensive when compared to Voice Dream and Seeing AI, our
goal is to perform a lot of innovative research to collaborate and
benefit the community as much as possible. Unfortunately, that can be
pretty costly, but in the long run, you'll have access to far more
than what is visible in the app today.

I do not like to pressure him. He said he will contact us privately, so I will 
wait until tomorrow. If he does not contact me I will contact him. I need to 
decide between supersense and envision. Envision is more expensive, but price 
is not everything.

Right now, it is on sale for half price. I'm not sure I'd pay $50, even as a 
one time payment, but that is just me.

I’ve spent the last hour or so running SuperSense through its various modes, 
thanks to Shane’s promo code.

 

in the document mode, Pros: I like the way it prompts you with specific 
messages, like move farther from the document; move an inch to the left, etc.

I like the music while processing, very nice.

The accuracy is very good.

 

Cons: like most OCR apps, it cannot handle columns.  If it did, I would 
possibly buy it.

 

Bar codes, Pros: Very fast.

Cons: it did not recognize a hardback book ISBN while Seeing AI’s product

Currency, Pros: very fast.

Cons: I was scanning a $10 bill and when I moved the camera sideways, a couple 
times after saying $10, it said $50.

That would be too confusing to someone who did not know or have another money 
identification app to double check with.

 

Explore Mode, Pros: pretty quick and generally accurate.  I could see this 
helping someone in a hotel room find things like light switches, thermostats,

Cons: none at this time.

 

Smart Scan, Pros: very fast and pretty accurate.  

Cons: it does not seem any better than Seeing AI’s Short Text mode.

I’m doubtful I would even spend $50.

 

If I did not have other apps to get my scanning needs met, I would seriously

Re: Supersense, initial impressions

I wrote him directly, rather than to the list.

quality was okay, but not any better than what i got when I imported the same 
photo to voice ocr which I got for free before the app became subscription

am also testing envision to see how it scores in comparison.

I’ve spent the last hour or so running SuperSense through its various modes, 
thanks to Shane’s promo code.

in the document mode, Pros: I like the way it prompts you with specific 
messages, like move farther from the document; move an inch to the left, etc.
I like the music while processing, very nice.
The accuracy is very good.

Cons: like most OCR apps, it cannot handle columns.  If it did, I would 
possibly buy it.

Bar codes, Pros: Very fast.
Cons: it did not recognize a hardback book ISBN while Seeing AI’s product 
channel did.  Otherwise, I think pretty even.

Currency, Pros: very fast.
Cons: I was scanning a $10 bill and when I moved the camera sideways, a couple 
times after saying $10, it said $50.
That would be too confusing to someone who did not know or have another money 
identification app to double check with.
Explore Mode, Pros: pretty quick and generally accurate.  I could see this 
helping someone in a hotel room find things like light switches, thermostats, 
etc.
Cons: none at this time.

Smart Scan, Pros: very fast and pretty accurate.
Cons: it does not seem any better than Seeing AI’s Short Text mode.

Quick Read, Pros: seems very fast.  Also quite accurate.

No cons at this time.

Overall:  I most certainly would never pay $100 for this app.
I’m doubtful I would even spend $50.

If I did not have other apps to get my scanning needs met, I would seriously 
consider spending the $50, but I’m not in need of it right now with the other 
apps I have.

I wish it would start each mode in the stopped position rather than immediately 
begin trying to scan.

I will keep exploring uses for it and write if I have updates worth while to 
add.
