Hi,
I use a netbook which is quite nifty size-wise and having the app on it in the living-room/kitchen sure I could manage anyway.

This is not to say that an iPhone wouldn't be the best method for the maximum use of the product.

Point taken Steve, but the larger the product, the more awkward it could get
to hold it up and all that.  However, it might appear there at some point.

Hi,

Yes, what you're missing is that there are Windows 10 tablets that have
webcams. <Smile>.

All the best

To be honest, I can't imagine why you would want to use it on a PC anyway
but maybe I am missing something.

Hi Tony,

Seems I was wrong, I can't find it on the Windows store.  Sorry about that.

All the best

Hi Steve,

Thanks for that and just as I would have expected.

Do you knnow how I can access that store to download the seeing AI app?

Tia,

Tony

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

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.
