Talking Goggles - a camera with speech (free) App Reviews

. . Hello. First of all, thank you for this great app. As a blind person, I have used Goggles a lot. However after last update some critical problems have occurred. Below you will find some of them. 1. The reading voice has changed with last update. But the new reading voice has problem in spelling some words in turkish. Thus, there should be an option to use iOS built in voices as in previous version. 2. The new photograph description feature is very well but, now, the simultaneous reading capability seems broken. Most of the times I am using goggles to read some thing on the screen or something in front of me outside. And it was exciting. But now, when I try to monitor some thing, instead of reading something, it starts photograph description although I dont need. thus, photograph description or text recognition should be able to be chosen by the user. If I wish description, I should choose only this or the opposite. 3. I cannot understand when video mode starts and wen ends. In previous version, there was a sound indicating it. 4. The buttons seems unlabeled sufficiently. So, please put more explanatory labels. Again thanks for this great app. I am very happy to hear that you are continuing developing Goggles. I hope it will be more exciting in the future.

Theres no need to write a review, the title of my review says it all

This app has come a long way since being published. It is a general purpose recognition app for objects and text. While it is capable to do OCR and objects, it pales in comparison to those apps that focus on just recognizing one particular item, like just OCR or just products. However, the free price and even the .99 price makes it a must download.

Google Goggles was absolutely flawless. Regrettably it is no longer available but it was the most incredible research tool that we have ever used. This one, flying under a false flag of "Goggles", not so much. The novelty of the speaking app is only worthwhile when it is delivering real information. This app looks at a book cover and returns "book". Show a portrait you want to identify and it returns "hairstyle". Perhaps it is uncharitable to say so but its a pity that there is no way of entering zero stars.

Apple should hire these guys!!

I was able to figure out the celebrities name just by taking a picture on my phone. Crazy!

I really like being able to take a picture of an item and then being able to find the best price.

Not helpful at all. No matter what picture I out in, nothing was found. I heard and thought this app was better and cooler than this :( total bummer!

Taking a photo and being told what is on it is cool. But the video mode is really practical. This has helped friends who are blind or cant see well, by just speaking out what appears in front of the camera. Amazing.

Will take photos and videos. Thats it

Couldnt recognize a single language from books magazines posters or anything. Dont waste your time downloading
