Anybody here use TapTapSee? Do you like it? (self.Blind)
submitted by [deleted]
I use it on my phone, as although my vision came back after the incident in my last post, it's even worse. I can see light. And that's it. Like I can tell if it's day/night, but that's about it. So I need a way to identify objects, and I think it works pretty well. What do you think?
Unfortunately, it doesn't tell me if I'm about to hit a wall. By the end of this week I am going to be black and blue :D

I use taptapsee to entertain myself, since i can see enough to identify stuff. Can Taptapsee identify text and tell you what it says on a can or anything else?

It can do both, actually.

You need a white cane so you don't get hurt or hurt others.

I've got one. I just can't use it in the house or other people's houses and so I bump into things.
I use TapTapSee for like trying to get dressed for school. Like is this the purple shirt or the blue one? And trying to figure out what can of soup that I'm holding etc. Cause mom isn't always there to help me

Oh alright. Keep your hands out in front of you, and walk on the back edge of your heel in a rolling step to get a better feel of what's beneath your feet.

Didn't know that. Thanks

That app works just fine, as long as you understand that whatever photos you take her being sent to the cloud and anyone using the Amazon Turk interface will see it and describe it for you. It is not built on a neural network artificial intelligence algorithm, it is literally people just looking at your photo and describing it to the best of their ability.
Also definitely sounds like time to get some orientation and mobility training and to begin using an ID cane or a white cane.

I have both O&M training and a white cane. I use them fine outside the house. But I'm not allowed to use my cane in the house or the front/back yard. So I tend to bump into things.
