The color recognizer on the voic thing is a sideline. I'm quite interested in what they had to say about making it read signs... Although I coulden't find the place on the screen where the picture would be... It does stand to reason it would work pretty easily though. I suspect with very little modification their code would identify money ... Whether through the barcodes, or through the numbers. I'd have to think about that.

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

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! --le ******* 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. list end 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. Related Sections List of 2 items .
