Eileen, I don't have a problem in the world with paying, I just think that we should get what we pay for. I don't know or understand what happened to the accuracy of what we need.

Hi, I really value your post. I have been one of those who have been out on the fence and not purchase a 100 picture package, nor have I updated TaTapSee, which sits in my app store. Do you have Talking Goggles? I know it's not perfect, but it could give you enough of the info to identify the items you need. I just used it yesterday when I needed to trouble shoot my computer screen and give me the info I needed to make a decision on how to proceed. It's just a thought. Like you, I am disappointed that TapTapSee changed their business model, but I do understand why. In the past, there had been times when I needed to take more than one picture and the picture and would have counted against my 100 count. It's not that I object to supporting the debs and paying the fee, but I would like to have increased accuracy in the responses. I guess I am still one of the luckier ones that I still get a response to VizWiz when I send them a picture. JMO.

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 To: [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.

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?
