Hi, I too have used Be my eyes for the first time and gotten a good response, however some thoughts keep nagging me and i probably should write the developers rather than ranting about it here. The question that nags me now is the following: The app is very good for things like looking at a microwave oven to see if it’s correctly set and other such tasks, but what happens when i encounter language specific things? As i live in Sweden all the text on food and such of course is in Swedish. Now yesterday i got a helper who by the accent or what you might call it lives in the United States. This isn’t a problem as long as you have things like Microwaves, Electronic stuff and so on where text is in english but what if i was about to identify food? This is of course a rettorical question but it looks like even if i mention the languages i understand i get helpers from other parts of the world. /Krister
