Hello all.
Yes, Web Workers were enabled on my device, but that's a good
question. (smiles).
As for the developers, I've contacted them a couple of times, once
after my article was published in 2011 about their app. I have
contacted the m previously about this particular issue, and they said
they were aware of it. However, I'm not sure there is much they can
do. This stuff is done on a voluntary basis, right? If so, as the old
saying goes, beggars can't be choosers. I'll give the app another try
when I have a complicated visual delemma that can be solved through
things like this and see what happens.
One of the features I contacted the developers about was the ability
to type my question instead of having to record an audio file. They
said they were going to include that in the next release, but some
complication or other must have gotten in the way of that, as this was
16 months ago.
Take care,
Scott

Actually though, with Raul's experience, one answer was 71, which could
have
been the temperature the thermostat was set to. Also, one answer was just
thermostat.
So these are actually quite in-line but just not showing awareness of the
audio question he sent along…
If they had said fried chicken, now that would have been something else!
lol!
Thanks for your note!…

Yes, I've received lots of responses from web workers that range from
comical to bizarre, some of which clearly belong to a different
customer's photo. For example, I've received, from a web worker, the
description "fried chicken on a table" when I was nowhere near a
kitchen or a table or any food whatsoever, lol. I've also seen lots of
other people on list reporting equally strange answers, case and
point, Raul's recent experience.
Cheers.

If you're using the web workers, it sure sounds like they're not actually
listening to the question but just writing something as soon as the
picture
comes up.
These experiences would be worth sharing with the app developers /
sponsors.

Cara :)

As of a few months ago when I last tried VizWiz, it was not helpful. I
took a picture of a medicine bottle that was either Adville or Adville
PM. Big difference in the morning when you don't want to sleep your
day away. Anyway, I asked VizWiz whether the bottle was Adville or
Adville PM, and got responses like: white pill bottle, medicine, and
bottle. Not very helpful. Perhaps it's worth another try? I'm really
not sure.

Hi there. I am replying very late on this thread, but I am still going
through several messages which I had For later replying to. I can of

have one of the hotel staff members show me everything in the room.
However
that was not the point of my message. I merely wanted to use an app to
see
how well it would work identify what I was looking for. I travel quite
frequently and so am aware of the layout of most hotel rooms. Also in
regards to the thermostat, I knew that it was a 50/50 hit or miss on
whether
I turned on the AC or the heater. So mostly it was a point of curiosity
with
the app.

Hi, in my recent stay in Austin I was in a hotel and needed to find out
which button setting would put the thermostat to the air conditioning.
I
knew I had a 50/50 outcome possible since the button was a 3 position
button. Middle being off, and left being AC and right being heater.
However I didn't know that at the time. I used Vizwiz to ask the
question, which setting is for the air conditioner. Left or right. The
first time I got the response that I was too far from the thermostat.
So
I took a closer picture, and eventually I got 5 responses. However all
of them were dead wrong. The responses ranged from white, to 71, to
thermostat. None of which actually answered my question. So I gave it
up
as a bad job and flipped the switch to the left, since on mine at home,
left is AC, and sure enough, I gambled right.

Hi Nimit,
It all depends on the question you record along with your picture. If,
for
example, I send a picture of the LCD screen of my thermostat via
VizWiz
and
do not record a question like "What is the temperature shown on this
thermostat display"? I may not get an answer or maybe I get an answer
like
"LCD screen with numbers".
The advantage of VizWiz is that you can send a picture to a web worker
and
ask a very specific question regarding the picture. I haven't used Tap
Tap
See, but I don't recall reading that you can send a question along
with
your
picture, can you?

Hello!
I heard there are people who work for it and answer question of the
picture you send unless it's computorized already? Maybe your picture
wasn't so common and the person took a while to get to you? Just a
guesss. I have tried wiz-wiz and I am really confused. Thanks!
The descriptions sometimes don't help me.

Hello Debbie:
I am sorry that you got such a slow response from vizwiz. that is not
the
norm. Try switching on IQ engine and see if you get a better
response.
I
am
a fan of both Tap Tap See and vizwiz. Having options never hurts :).
Let us know if switching on IQ engines works for you if you try it.
Take good care and I wish you enough.

Thanks Patrick,
Yes, I finally got an answer but it sure was slow. I was using the
Web
Worker option.
I think I may stick with TapTap See!
Thank you!

Hello Debbie:
Vizwiz is working here. Remember to take the picture, make the
recording,
stop the recording, press send and wait for a few seconds.
sometimes,
depending upon the picture, it might take a few minutes to receive a
response. It took about 7 minutes for me to receive a response to a
picture of a can I took on Saturday.
I also have IQ engines checked.
Please let us know if that information proves useful to you.
Take good care and I wish you enough.

Hello,
Does anyone know if the VizWiz app is still working? Frankly I've
never
used it and just tried it for the first time but can't get it to
work.
It
comes back with an answers heading but there are no answers and it
tells
me to start over. I tried using the Web Workers.
Thanks!
