Well actually I think it just came out a few weeks ago and all the 
codefactory products have a free trial, so you can download the versions 
that run together (mobilespeak and mcr) from the regular web page as well --  
but thanks for the link.

You could always use the free version...

I just downloaded it and it worked immediately.

I had to exit mobile-speak, but not sure if that is completely required or
not.

Subject: [guispeak] mobile color recognizer

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 Highlights
List of 6 items
. Multi-color mode. Allows to determine what colors an object is composed
of.
. Location mode. Allows to determine the location of different colors in a
multi coolor object (for example, top green, left light blue") . Different
Zoom levels.
. Light Detector.
. Allows to save user configuration and light conditions.
. Calibration mode in order to receive even more accurate results.

 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.
