Hi Kay,
With all respect, you just said you had to resort to Camfind to get the job done so that means you were able to get the job done with Camfind, a free app, so why not just use it from now on or at least until Tap Tap See has made it possible to ask a question along with your text. Keep in mind that Tap Tap See is only one app/project for the developers. I’m not an app developer, but I assume changing Tap Tap See so you can ask a question or maybe pick from a list of certain general questions may not be as easy as you think. Personally I am happy anytime I successfully use any of these apps, Tap Tap See, Camfind, Talking Goggles etc., to recognize anything since it’s sure a lot more than what I was able to do before. I’ve been to Chinese restaurants with friends and even some of them who were perfectly sighted had a hard time to read these tiny slips of paper that come out of a fortune cooky. Well, at least I hope your message when you finally got the answer was “You will experience great financial gain soon which allows you to buy more Tap Tap See credits” *smile*. Good fortune, Sieghard possibly implemented From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kay Malmquist Sent: Saturday, February 01, 2014 8:16 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: a tap tapt see rant Yes, but the ability to ask questions has already been put to the fine people at TTS and still nothing as of yet. That is not to say it isn't being worked on. I don't care how small or stupid to some people a fortune is, not everybody is going to want the same things from an app. It has done me many favors and read some really neat things to me but it seems more and more as though it is not doing the job expected. Several months ago, if I took a picture of a fortune cookie paper, which I had done, it would be read the first time. This is not the case any more. I have meat in my freezer which I buy by the side and by the pig and It does not have bar codes on it and just has labels that have to be read. TTS Used to get these right on the first try and this is not the case any more. I have to resort to CamFind to get the job done any more and nothing has changed I might add. ----- Original Message ----- From: Robin Frost <mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, February 01, 2014 9:44 PM Subject: Re: a tap tapt see rant Hi, I write the following in humility and with the utmost respect. While I too have always been a proponent of an ask a specific question feature and think it certainly could serve only to enhance the usefulness and efficiency of the app for all users, it seems to me that your reaction in this instance might be a bit unfair. After all given the scope of the information the app delivers to recognizers at this juncture they did give accurate information based on that which they had available to them. You know what they say about assuming (smile). We can’t assume that what we wish to know is obvious to them any more than they could or necessarily should assume that they can deduce exactly that you wanted the actual text of the fortune. In truth I’m amazed that it came out clearly enough for someone to eventually recognize for you. Again I’m not disagreeing that an ask a specific question via text feature in the app isn’t greatly longed for and perhaps necessary to enhance its usefulness. I’m just saying that I’m glad your rant was first directed at us as opposed to them (smile). Perhaps when the heat of the moment has dissipated a request for such a feature and explanation of how it could only benefit both users of the app and those who recognize images might be easier for you to send their way. Just my two cents no one asked for and no one is obligated to live by. Robin From: Kay Malmquist <mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, February 01, 2014 10:33 PM To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Subject: a tap tapt see rant I need to write this to the people at Tap Tap See, but right now I am anything but constructive. For some odd reason I love to know what my fortune cookie says. So I started tap tap see and took a picture. first come back was, "fortune cookie paper". Brilliant deduction Sherlock. I am blind not dense. Next came back with numbers. Oops! wrong side so I flip it over. Then next I get, "white paper with black text". No kidding! Next I finally am treated to the actual fortune. Now I had another one stuffed in my jacket pocket so I decided since I was in picture wasting mode I might as well try for more. First was fortune cookie paper, then text on white paper, then numbers, my bad again, turn it over. Then back to same stuff different side. Finally, the words I had been waiting to hear. all in all, 11 pictures wasted before outcome is achieved. I have paid for 100 pictures and feel this is a huge rip off. If I had a way to ask even though in this case I don't feel I should have to state the obvious, A lot of time and wasted effort could have been eliminated. Any thoughts anybody?
