This was one of the first tests I tried last night when I heard of this app. I simply couldn't get much out of Goggles. I pointed it at my desktop and laptop monitor and did hear the word "win" but not much else. I once again tried other windows and only heard a word or two or few letters at most. Though one can probably move Goggles across the screen a little bit at a time, this is not yet a good solution. One only gets maybe 1% of the content on screen (depending on screen). This is expectable since there are tons of issues at play: direct lighting, position of Goggles, dirt on screen, steadiness, ambient light, type of content on screen etc. It does read more on the screen than TapTapSee and alike. (Smile).
