Hey all, first, I want to say that I finally had success with TapTapSee today for the first time. In the past, I got descriptions that weren't very helpful. I tried it today and I first got responses that were not entirely helpful. For instance, I Was trying to identify some cans and it told me blue and yellow can. I took another picture and then it said canned food. So then I turned the can again and got something about nutritional facts, Then on the next try it told me what the can was. I figured out other cans after that pretty easily. So I'm rather happy that I finally got this app to work for me. S4 Goggles, I have not had the success that I have read everybody else has. I launched the program and it's in video Mode. I hold the phone over the product but received no response from it whatsoever. I'm pretty sure that the built-in voice is turned on I also tried with it turned off and had nothing being spoken to me. I tried tapping the flash button to see flash off or flash on to no success. Does anybody know if there's a podcast out there that can give me some tips? Am I just not being patient enough for a response? I tried waiting for several seconds and don't get anything from the app. Thank you in advance for any suggestions or tips..
