No worries peter.

It was just that I wanted to know if the app can be installed to Windows 10 as it's MS-supported?

Any replies gratefully appreciated.

Peter,

Would you kindly be able to let me know what Iain's message said in his mail as it may apply to a query I put here?

I looked again at the message in TB with Jaws and I couldn't see anything in the message pain.

Hi Ian,

Your message was blank to me I'm afraid.

Hi Jackie all,

Thanks indeed to Saqib and MS and I wonder if anyone knows if the app can be downloaded to Windows 10 as it's MS-supported?

Yes indeed, I completely endorse that.  We can all go off on one when
something doesn't work, but this is frankly sensational progress on the part
of Saqib and Microsoft.

Agree with all of this Jackie and would only add that it just goes to show
what can be achieved when you set a blind person to design and develop
something for blind people. I think Saqib is to be massively congratulated
and Microsoft highly praised for supporting and encouraging this work.

Forgive the cross-posting, but for anyone who hasn't yet downloaded
this app from the App Store, it really is the best thing you could do
today if you have the time and inclination.  Until now, it has never
been possible to read handwriting, and while this aspect of Seeing AI
is in its early stages, I find it absolutely brilliant to pick up the
post and read handwritten material just to indicate who it is from if
nothing else.  At a time where people are sending and receiving
Christmas cards, I find it liberating to check the envelopes to ensure
they are for us, then open and read the cards from our families and
friends instead of putting them in a pile to wait for sighted
assistance.  I haven't found one yet that Seeing AI won't read, and
even though it isn't word perfect, it's good enough to know they are
for us, and who they are from. One card even had a note in it that I was
able to decipher, it's truly amazing that we have this.
If there ever comes a time when we will have to pay for this app, I
most certainly would as it has so many uses.

Kind regards,

Jackie Brown

For the first time in my life I have been able to find out who my christmas cards have come from thanks to the handwriting feature. I really like the Short Text feature. The barcode reader has always worked for me once I have found the barcode. This is the much-have app.
