This solution will be taken away eventually, once they realize what’s going on. I’ve never had a problem with Vizwiz. If anyone wants to give it a shot, it’s definitely worth a try. A few extra taps can be worth the trouble, especially if you have a lot of FB and Twitter friends, or friends you can text or email. Combine it with the Looktel Recognizer, and you can really create a very effective recognition library on your own.

OMoby also does not give an answer. I deleted TapTapSee and downloaded it again. It will give me some pictures free. When it quits I can delete it again.

I was trying to get a picture yesterday and got the message that the picture had timed out. There were 5 or 6 of those timed out ones before I actually got the picture of the shirt logo which was what I was looking for. Would I be charged for the failed pix if I use the 100 picture plan? God bless!

As you said, i.e. Nov. 7th to Dec. 6th. Then when you attempt to take another picture after those dates a message for subscription will appear.

Nov. 7th to Dec. 6th? Or from the first day in the month to the last day in a month, ex. Nov. 1st to Nov. 30rd? Thanks Donna Hello Debbie, This is something someone else suggested today as well. It is definitely something that we'll look into for a future update. Thank you for the suggestion!

That package is good until you run out of the 100 pictures.

Due to the high costs of image recognition, we were forced to change TapTapSee into a subscription based service. We will continue to improve our service in order to provide you with the high quality tags that you’ve come to love and expect. The TapTapSee team is committed to improving the app based on the customer feedback and suggestions. In the next few days a message will pop up on the app that will present you with two option. Option 1) 100 Picture Pack for $7.99. Option 2) 1 Month of Unlimited Pictures for $9.99. The purchase is done through your Apple iTunes account. -- Jonnie Appleseed With His Hands-On Technolog(eye)s touching the internet Reducing Technology's disabilities One Byte At a time
