  Honestly, we should see less of this, not more. The phone is suggesting 
words, fixing spelling etc. It's never been easier to get this stuff right!

    Parts of this thread emphasize the need for all of us to proofread our 
messages before sending them. As a person who has been blind all my life, and 
as a person who has worked professionally for over 30 years, I can tell you 
that messages with obvious errors in them do not impress those reading them. 
While I completely understand that not all individuals are great (or even good) 
spellers, I also firmly believe that everyone on this list is capable of 
proofreading a message before sending it to the group.

    Am I suggesting we see only perfect messages on the list? Not at all! I am 
just suggesting that all proofread and correct obvious errors like "to Pepsi". 
I almost went out to look for an app named "to Pepsi" until I realized what had 
happened.

    Come on, folks. Let's be responsible enough and respectful enough to 
proofread before sending, and let's also be responsible enough not to call 
people lazy or to imply that they are stupid.

    Just my opinion, but I think it is a good one!

      Hi all, in one of the emails someone said to save the capcha to your 
camera roll. Maybe you couldn't use tap tap see, but what about one of the 
other scanning apps such as Prismo or KNFB reader or any other. I wonder if 
that would work. Just my thoughts, God bless, Wren Langley

        But that’s a pain if you use the site often. Many blind people use 
amazon because of the convenience and transportation issues. They should be 
made aware that this is a barrier. And TAPTAPSEE isn’t free.

        Hi Larry. I don't think that's outrageous. I think flooding them with 
complaints is completely unnecessary. If they did put captions in their sign 
in, get an app like a TapTapSee, save the image to the camera roll, and used to 
Pepsi or some other app like it to give you the caption. There's really no need 
to say we should flood them with complaints, especially since there seems to be 
accessible solutions.

          Has anyone tried to order from Amazon lately.  It seems to us that 
they have initiated captias in their account sign in.  If this is so, this is 
outrageous and I think we should flood amazon with complaints.
