Hi Alan,
You do the same 3-finger swipe from left to right you use to switch home pages. Once on the last welcome screen you swipe one more time and you are then on the main screen of the app. That particular screen is layed out in a simple and easy to figure out way with 4 tabs along the bottom: Object, Colour (for colour identification), Settings and Info. Above that there is a “Pencil” button on the right (above Info tab and a “Toggle Aipoly” button (sort of above the Settings and Colour tabs). Right now I have my iPhone 5S laying camera down on a table which means it can’t really see anything so it also says on the screen “Point me at an object and press the button”. The “Toggle Aipoly” button is basically your start button, when you first open the app you have to double tap on that so it starts “seeing” things. I now figured out how it reads automatically as well. First when I started it it wouldn’t say anything, then I touched the middle of the screen and it said “Dresser” because I was pointing I t towards the dresser in the bedroom. I then moved it a bit to the left and it then said “Curtains” so it seems that once you put focus on the area of the screen where it shows the result of what it sees, it will then read automatically if you move the phone and it sees something else. As Richard pointed out, if you turn Voiceover off it will also read what it sees with I think the compact voice, but it certainly isn’t necessary to turn off Voiceover as long as you put focus on the result once and then don’t touch anything else. It will sometimes also say “Background” or “I’m not sure” if it can’t identify what it is seeing. All in all not a bad start although as I said yesterday, it failed badly when it comes to identifying a specific type of medication I showed it, all it said was Pills, Medicine or Prescription. I haven’t tried it yet with food items, cans and so on, but my guess is that it would just tell you it’s a can. Maybe down the road they can make it do more.

I could not get past the welcome screen no matter what I tried so I deleted the app. Alan Sent from my iPad Air On Jan 7, 2016, at 11:52 AM, Sieghard Weitzel <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: I just installed AIPoly and it definitely has potential. A nice, simple layout and on my 5S it automatically announced what it say after a couple of seconds. I was pointing it at various areas in the room I am currently in and it said things like “Closet”, “Door”, “Furniture”, “Curtains” etc. I then held a bottle of generic Tylonol 1 up to it, this is the stuff we can get here in Canada that has 8mg of Codeine as well as some Caffeine along with whatever the normal Tylonol incredient is and the generic name is “acetaminophen” and all AIPoly told me when I showed it various views of the bottle was “Pills”, “Medicine” or “prescription”. I then used Talking Goggles on it in video mode and it read all sorts of stuff to me including a lot number, expiry date, the word “acetaminophen”, “8mg Codeine” etc. Definitely a lot more useful than “Medicine” or “Pills”.
