Richard, I shouldn’t have speculated, apart from that I totally agree with you and I just posted my first impressions with the app. One has to keep in mind that this is also just the first release and from the article it sounds as if Anmol is committed to taking this further although one of course never knows what life throws at him and if he’ll have the time once he is at University etc. We’ll have to wait and see, for now I definitely will keep the app and look forward to what else he might do with it.
He does, by the way, also have another app, something about young adult diabetics, I think it is more of an informational app, but if you go to the app store you can find it under “other apps from this developer” or also if you search for his name.

The article mentions that his code filled a notebook about 2 inches thick. You do have to have an internet connection for the app to work, so maybe it uses crowd sourcing, I don't know. The implication was that it is all done via the program. But who knows. Maybe someone can do an interview with him and get more details. I am perhaps easily impressed, but the fact that an 18 year old came up with this, is kind of amazing.

I haven’t had time to read the app description, but does it in fact say it doesn’t? If it takes this long for it to come back with replies I wonder if that is the reason. I assume this does require an active internet connection to work? Regards, Sieghard From: viphone@googlegroups.com<mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Karl Smith Sent: Wednesday, November 30, 2016 4:59 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com<mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> Subject: iDentifi results Well I decided to try this app as I wanted one which didn’t use crowd sourcing as I get a bit nervous about what I am actually sending in my pictures and what might be there for someone to see and use in some nefarious way. I took a picture of my daughter playing the piano and it said “Woman in light green long sleeve shirt playing piano in room.” Then I took one of a package of Milano cookies and it said “Dark chocolate Milano cookies Pepperidge Farms.” Pretty impressive. The only thing is that it isn’t nearly as fast as the YouTube demo was although it wasn’t really that slow either. I think it’s kind of fun.
