Hi all --
I know there has been a competition going on between the various mobile
phone access software solutions, but the following has recently come up on
the MobileSpeak mailing list that I thought you might be interested in, and
in fact if you don't want MobileSpeak perhaps you can suggest it to your own
provider.
Someone got the bright idea of using MobileSpeak in conjunction with the
phone camera to provide light and color identification capability to a blind
user.
Here's the description.
You can read more about it on www.CodeFactory.com
Take care!

Color Recognizer (MCR)
Mobile Color recognizer and light detector (MCR) is a unique software which
was developed to work with Mobile Speak and Mobile Accessibility. It can be
installed in camera phones (currently it works with almost all Symbian
series 60 phones). MCR can be used to determine the color (or different
colors)
of an object by taking a picture of it. MCR also can be used to know the
level of light. MCR offers several options so that the user can configure
the
program according its needs e.g. adapt the local light conditions, select a
zoom level, level of confidence. MCR is very easy to install into the phone.

Product Info
Mobile Color Recognizer is made of one single file that can be easily
installed on the phone. There are different shortcut keys so an easy use of
the software
is guaranteed.
Color Recognizer
The colors which can be identified are: White, Gray, Black, Yellow, Orange,
Pink, Red, Green, Blue, Brown and Purple. Light tones of the colors and dark
tones of these colors also can be detected.
Light Detector
The software can detected 4 different levels of light: Bright, Normal, Dim
and Dark. The user simply has to point the camera on an object (for example
a
wall or the ceiling) and MCR will tell the level of the light of the
environment.
Supported Phones
Nokia 7650, 3650, 3660, 6600, 6620, 6670, 7610, 6630 and Siemens SX1. MCR
will be adapted to the Nokia 6260 soon.
The results of the color recognizer depend on the camera of the phone so
there will be better results in newer phones (the ones that have a 1.3
megapixel
camera). The Nokia 7650 and the SX1 may not give that accurate results like
the other phones. Before using the Mobile Color Recognizer you should have
read the manual and do some training in order to get the most accurate
results.
