Hi Aedan I don't want to hijack the original post from Alistair. I just downloaded it out of curiosity, and think it's great. We even photographed money, the denomination of which it identified correctly, so there are some really good uses for it apart from the laughs! (smile).

Tried it out in my sittingroom where I have the laptop and brought a few laughs as I found my couch, flat screen and bookcase and fireplace. Very impressed. It took a longer time to decode my kitchen, probably more complex picture. Still it got my steel sink and cupboard doors! Brilliant Thanks Jackie.

You will hear a sound that accompanies the flash on your device taking a photo of the object in question. VoiceOver will report what has been found, and you can flick left or right to examine the various pieces of information. I had to really laugh yesterday when I took a picture of the leggings I was wearing to see what it came up with. It reported they were dark blue, and then offered me fabrics that I might be interested in that seemed to coincide with what it saw. It did the same sort of thing with our Bumble, telling me her breed, and offering me various links I could use for further information about German Shepherds and the like. You have a History button, where you can clear all the pictures you have taken. It claims to be a barcode scanner, but the trick of that would be locating the barcode on a product. I think you can name things yourself as well, though I haven't messed around with it enough yet as I have lots of other things on the go to review and evaluate. I wonder if, like TapTapSee, it will be a paid-for app eventually? It's good though, have a play!

I am a nubie to IPhone, just got it at Christmas. I recently got the overlay with Braille dots for the keyboard and other important points from the U.S. Works fine. How does Camfind work? Kind regards Aedan. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jackie Brown Sent: 01 February 2014 08:49 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Need this Application, Please, And Where Can I download It From - Re: CamFind app Hi Philip Not Alistair, but the app is called CamFind, so just type that in the Play Store search field, and you should be good to go. Personally, I think this app is better than TapTapSee, I have got a lot out of it so far.

Please, what is the name of this app and where can I download it from? I am still learning to find my way round Samson Galaxy S3. Please, can Alistair repost his article on this app to me? My Email is: poisiaka@xxxxxxxxxxx Thanks!

Hi, Also available for Android and just as good.

surprised.
The most useful aspect for me was being able to take a picture of something, and have it report back within seconds. I tried a lot of different things, ranging from assistive technology such as my BrailleSense, to fresh orange juice, green tea teabags, baked beans, a box of Cornflakes, and music CDs. I was also interested to see how well it identified clothing, and found it pretty good at colours and even fabrics believe it or not. My favourite try though was when I took a picture of my dog. It told me she was a large black and brown short-haired dog. Further investigation on the information of that suggested she was a German Shepherd, which she is. I haven't investigated the app much more than this yet, however, but will say it is definitely useful given it is free. You can delete your history, and taking pictures is very straightforward. Give it a go!
