Hey! There is a difference between constructive and destructive criticism
and I think for the most part everybody is being constructive in what they
are saying. Everyone seems to feel that the paid model is okay as long as
we get what we pay for. I don't think anyone has bashed the product
outright and people do have the right to state their opinions.

Hi! First I have respect for everyone in this list so please understand
that this is not towards anyone! Ok... You know, we are all humans and so
are the developers and picture viewer people. So, the developer is so nice
enough to monitor this high traffic list and answer taptapsee question.
Imagine how many emails they have to deal with from this list just to get
feedback from customers? I think we should respect what they do instead of
complaining. I am sure taptapsee person who is in this list respond as it
is weekend and they are off i guess... I think we are just being too
impatient and accepting too much from them. We should wait and I am sure
they will add the ability to ask question. If we want to complain and stop
supporting developers, then we should be aware that its not going to help!
Give them time and support! Fortune papers are hard to read for a human eye
to begin with. I think I am not surprised it took time and in fact, I would
not have even expected it to recognize that quick! We should appreciate at
least some parts of it. Thanks for reading! Sent from my super iPhone

I too would like to be able to add some text or a recording to help get
what I want. But I find that the people on this list thought Tap Tap See
was a wonderful app and did not complain about it when it was free but now
that they have to pay they are moaning and groaning about their results
they get. They did not complain when they took picture after picture and
thought it was great. I think these app that assist us are great and we
need to wake up and smell the roses as to how well we all have it. So let
say about ten years ago how did you all identify jars, can good and other
items?
It wasn’t to many years back as I remember we did not have all those
devices and app to assist us in our everyday lives like we do now.
Yes it would great if Tap Tap See would add a recording or a place to
type in the question we want answered. But by us not supporting them by
buying the pictures how is it ever going to happen. I think we need to be
more patient and see what they do in the future.

Jerry,
I think a lot of people still find Tap Tap See useful, get good
information and don’t mind the fact that sometimes what comes back is not
perfect. The fact is that Tap Tap See occurs the cost of the image
recognition whether the information is what you want or maybe even if the
information you want is in your photo. Anyhow, Tap Tap See is one of several
apps out there and you make the choice as to whether you want to use it or
maybe I should say you choose whether it’s worth it to you to buy credits.
If not, there is Camfind, Digit-Eyes, Red Laser, Talking Googles and others
most of which are free or can be purchased with a one-time payment.
I think it’s unfair to claim Tap Tap See isn’t doing anything to add the
ability to ask a question or to complain the feature is not yet there. Why
don’t we wait another 4 or 6 months, if it’s not there then maybe it’s OK to
complain.
Regards,
Sieghard

Yes, I agree, I as well have stopped buying credit for this app. I’m not
going to buy credit for a product that doesn’t help me find the information
I need.
We have to have the ability to ask a question or at least type one. Tap
Tap See isn’t giving out the information any longer as well as it used to
after the purchasing of credits came into the picture.
Something needs to be done here, because I’m not wasting money on
something, that I can’t use, and I’m sure many would agree with me. And
every time we click a picture, if it gets answered, there goes another
credit, even if the answer is wrong. This isn’t right. Somehow if we get the
information wrong we should be able to somehow make tap-tap-see aware of
this and they should refund the credit back to us in my opinion. It just isn’t
right for us to have to pay for something that plainly isn’t doing anything
to help figure out what we’re looking at. Wasn’t this the ap’s purpose
anyway? At least that’s how I perceived the description of it.
Thanks

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.

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.

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?
