Eileen and Lois, let me be sure I am clear. I should first start trying to use the app with the following settings:
Double tap the top left button so the flash is off; this means that when I run my finger over the button VO reads, "flash off." Re the bottom right button: when I run my finger over it it should say "video camera." I should tap the "flash off" button to turn the flash on only if I am not getting any results and I suspect the reason is insufficient lighting. Is this correct?

The "flash It" button will toggle on/off the apps flash on the camera. There are times that I need additional light. The amount of distance, that one needs from the object will vary depending on the size of the object that you want Talking Goggles to read. For example, when using the app with my computer screen, I was about 2-3 inches away. Also, I treaT Talking Goggles as an OCR app in regards of keeping the iPhone levvel and centering it over the object that I want it to read. I believe that good lighting is essential, so there is less of a chance of the app crashing. HTH.

Give that a try. Hopefully, that is the problem. In other words, just tap the button that says flash. Good luck, Lois From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Sandy Finley Sent: Monday, April 22, 2013 9:52 AM To: 'VIAPHONE' Subject: Talking Goggles I am working with this app and not getting any results. I have the following settings: Flash Button: When I touch (but not tap) the top left button VO says "Flash." It is my understanding that this means the flash is on. Camera Copy 1 Button: When I touch (but not tap) it VO says, "stop." This leads me to believe that some kind of photo action is going on? I don't know what to call it since it's not really taking a picture; there is no sound of a clicking shutter. Button at bottom right: if I touch (but not tap) it VO says, "still camera," which leads me to believe that the video Camera is activated and tapping it will change it to Still Camera. Is that correct? The only time I hear a shutter clicking is when I toggle the bottom right button to "still camera, which converts the middle button from "stop" to "take picture." But it's my understanding that to get the app to ID things a photo is not necessary. What am I either misunderstanding or doing wrong? also, what is the purpose of the "record" option? What would I want to record? Sandy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
