Subject: Re: Bee My Guide, Free in the Apple app store
Hi! Folks: I just downloaded the Bee My Guide app onto my iPhone 6 from the App
Store. I went to check on location I followed the directions and it asked me to
wait for reply then it kicked me off the program altogether. Also the same
thing for one other option on there. The weather function works fine. I have
not as yet tried the money function. Can anyone who uses this tell me why it
would kick me out of the app I am using it on both data and on Wi-Fi from my
home.
Thank you in advance.

Actually I did spell it out with two es and got two different apps. I just
mistakenly downloaded the wrong one.
I always check the spelling of an app which is recommended.

Note, the word “bee” is spelled like the insect, b e e.
I put that line at the beginning of my note.
If you got the app for rides to the airport in India, it is because you didn't
pay attention to the first line, or bother reading to the end where the link to
the app in the app store would have taken you to the correct app.

I installed it and it works fine. Try uninstalling it and then re-install it.
I didn't see any advertisements.

‘Bee My Guide’ – An app developed by a 12th grader to guide the visually
impaired
BY MUNMI BORA · AUGUST 25, 2016
bee my guide
With the help of an app, the visually impaired can now know exactly what is
around them in their immediate environment. All thanks to Pavan Chitta, a 12th
grade student from Greenwood High, Bangalore. He developed an app called ‘
Bee My Guide’, that enables the user to get an idea of the environment where
the app is used.
“I have utilized the already-existing concept of artificial intelligence. Using
Bee My Guide is simple. You can take a picture of what is in front of you
or rotate your phone in your immediate surroundings, and it will tell you,
through speech, whatever you need to know. It also reads out text messages and
mails that the user cannot see otherwise. Pavan Chitta.”
Bee My Guide has various other features such as My Vision, What’s around Me,
Find My Stuff, Check My Money, My Location and My Weather. If the user wants
to cook something, the app will inform them about the ingredients in front of
them. It also helps the user in bank transactions by informing them the value
of the money they are holding.
The idea of the app was born when Pavan visited a unique restaurant ‘Dialogue
in the Dark,’ where he dined in complete darkness and interacted with visually
impaired employees who were the guides at the restaurant.

By Pavan Chitta
Description
The Bee My Guide is an app specifically created for visually impaired people to
help them have the experience of vision through visualisation and be more
independent.
The following functions are available through this app:
(Device Camera should be used in Portrait orientation and *must* have a back
Camera)
1) My Vision:
This function allows the users to capture a photo, which is then processed with
the use of visual recognition API’s, and then what they are looking at
is spoken out to them, along with the text and description of the object(s) in
the photo. If the app detects a person, it will speak out the gender, age,
description (glasses, headgear, emotion) and also identify the person if he or
she looks like a celebrity.
2) Check My Money
This app also addresses the common problem faced by visually impaired people
across the globe when counting money. Currently set up to detect rupees and
dollars. We are working on improving it to enhance the accuracy of the results.
3) What's around Me?
This function asks you to rotate the device 360 degrees, scanning everything
around you tells you what is to your left/right/front and behind. This enables
the visually impaired user to get a picture of the room or setting in which he
or she is situated.
4) Location:
Though this feature can be found with maps, this conveniently incorporates into
the app to ensure less navigation from the user’s end.
5) Weather:
Uses weather API to get weather and speak out, which is another convenient
feature for the user.
6) Find My Stuff:
Taking the “What’s around Me?” function one step further, this function will
enable the visually impaired to locate the object they are looking for, in
terms of relative angle to their current position. The app prompts the user to
speak the word of the object that needs to be found and then starts the
scanning process discussed earlier. For example, if the user speaks the word
"books" and rotates the device, it will try and locate a book in the 360 degrees
view and tell them the direction they can find it, for example, 45 degrees to
your right etc.
***** All functions require internet access and work best on higher upload
speeds. Response time depends on the internet speed. *****
