Hi,
What's your technique for getting good results from Goggles? Mine hasn't
worked well in quite some time, and I'm using an iPhone 5S.
Thanks,
Tom

Subject: Re: The best object recognition app out there I know
Hello Robin,
I do so agree with you. I use Talking Goggles more than any other object
recognition app. I also use Tap Tap See and CamFind, but Talking Goggles is
more informative. For instance, TapTapSee will identify a can of dog food, but
Talking Goggles will tell me which variety it is.
Cheers,
Anne

Dear listers
I have seen that there have been dozens of Tap Tap See and Camfind msgs
flying around and I’ve read a few but by no means all so apols if this has been
covered but I just want to reiterate the jawdroppingly useful app that is
Talking Goggles. I can’t recall how much it is but it’s certainly no more than
a few dollars (if not free) – I can’t check as I already own it – and it’s
certainly nowhere near X dollars a month that Tap Tap See has become, and yet I
use it all the time to great effect.
I have a 5S so admittedly a good camera but only this morning my computer
stopped talking to me while I had about 10 different apps open and all half way
through something and before I went nuclear with the power button I thought I’d
try Talking Goggles and it read out to me the message about IE having stopped
working and the Send/Don’t send thing. I know I could have got out of this by
trial and error with some keystrokes but I knew that even hitting Escape on the
wrong thing could have been bad news.
And this is just one example. So long as you have good bandwidth (as it’s
live video it’s processing) you can just point it at anything and it usually
reads it or recognises it just fine. I know it’s not perfect but I also know
that it’s invaluable and doesn’t have the drawbacks of either having to take
multiple snap and hope images or having to pay big bucks (or should that be
plenty of pounds) for it either.
I should end by saying that I’m not as familiar with the other apps as I am
with this one so please don’t consider this as an anti-the-others msg, just a
pro-Talking Goggles one.
Thanks, Robin.
