Hi Alan, The problem for some of us seems to be that Goggles no longer works at all.
I was using it, too, but after the latest update, it no longer works at all. Have you installed the latest update?

No, it doesn't just start talking. It takes some playing with to learn how to use it. The first thing I had to learn was holding my phone. As you hold your phone straight up and down, the camera lenz is on the back top right-hand corner not in the middle of the phone. That takes some getting use to. /The second thing I had to learn was to move the phone near or farther away from what I was trying to get goggles to describe to me. It's not just a point and shoot like tap tap see is. I use it on my washing machine and dryer. They both have electronic controls and a LCD screen. Now add to that, trying to get a description on a washing machine that's shaking side to side making the screen shake and yet if I play with talking goggles enough, I can usually get it to tell me what I need to know but it can also take 10 minutes of fooling around too. It is not a point and shoot app but with patients and exparimentation it does work as advertised. ----- Original Message ----- From: Crystal French To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, June 30, 2013 9:00 AM Subject: Re: goggles problem Kelly, I don’t know about the reception being an issue or not. I do know that I am experiencing the same thing on my iPhone 4 and the latest updated Goggles. It just sits there, never saying a mumbling word.

Though I admit that I wasn't always good at getting the readings that I wanted. Now though, I can't get it to say anything. I've checked the Goggles settings in the settings app of the phone and I have it set to have speech on and best result to no affect. I don't know what has suddenly changed. I even tried using a still capture image and it says nothing is ever recognized. I know I have lights on even if the flash on the phone itself isn't on. I'm using the 4s. My brother wondered if perhaps how much reception you have or data bars may have anything to do with it. That I don't know. I am in Ohio visiting family where I don't get the greatest signal but I don't think that would interfere in anyway. If anyone is able to shed light on the current problem it would be nice.

I then need to reopen it. My best results have been when I needed it to read the computer screen. May be it became broken with the last update. I still have the last version in iTunes. I'll try to see if that clears up the app. > > Eileen > > Sent from my iPhone > > On Jun 29, 2013, at 2:05 PM, "Lois Butterfield" <[email protected]> wrote: > >> It used to work for me but no longer does.
