That's because they are two different sorts of apps. I own both of those apps. I use talking Goggles to read what's on the screens of my washing machine and dryer. They both sit on pedestals and are front-loaders. When they are running, they can vibrate slightly which moves the screen very slightly and with a still camera shot it probably be much like trying to hold iPhone still wile trying to scan OCR. I've tried Tap Tap See a number of times and could not get it to read the screen at all but talking goggles in video mode can. Now on the other hand, I've spent many an hour trying to find stuff that Tap Tap See couldn't identify and failed. I have a wall clock in my living room. I thought for sure I got that sucker now. Not! Not only did Tap Tap See say that was a wall clock, but it said "picture is Spartan Wall Clock" I said to my sighted son what's a Spartan wall clock. He said, I don't know dad but let me look at the clock. Then he starts chuckling. Dad, Spartan is the brand name of the clock at the top of the face. So I moved to my Hammond Organ and thought, let me see it get this one right. "Picture is classic Hammond Organ" So, two different kinds of apps. Both are must-haves for any blind iPhone user. ----- Original Message ----- From: Sieghard Weitzel To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, June 26, 2013 11:08 PM Subject: RE: Tap Tap See couldn't read one thing so used face time to get it done
Hi Teresa, You should try Talking Goggles in video mode if Tap Tap See doesn't work. I actually ofind Tap Tap See gave me some kind of identification like "Pudding" or something like that. However, when I used Talking Goggles it told me that it was vanilla pudding which was important since I have the exact same packaging but as chocolate pudding. /Talking Goggles will do amazing OCR which is something Tap Tap See doesn't do.

There was one bottle of supplements it couldn't read. I have been wanting to try face time so did that with my daughter and she was able to tell me what it was. Also with Tap Tap See, I was able to identify an ATM on the street the other day while exploring the neighborhood. This iphone is becoming more and more useful every day. Thanks to every single person on this list. You are encouraging and inspiring and enlightening as well. Take good care, Teresa -- Challenge is a dragon with a gift in its mouth.
