[BlindTlk] Cash App?

[joseph hudson]

Hi Peter, I think you have the wrong idea here. The cash app is used to send money from person to person just like PayPal and Venmo for example. So if you ask me for some money, to pay for an item I would use cash app to send it to you. It is not used to take pictures. And read text.

Now there is a bar on the bottom to select short text, currency, photo, document, landscape.  Once you know about where to hit the screen, I think anyone probably could select cash or another target to read.  This app used to just open, point and shoot.  That was distracting, especially because it started reading anything it first pointed at.  And, it started over a lot.   Now since the update, there are two buttons to hit.  First along the screen bottom is select target category, (what I described above).  Then a play button down left on screen.   Totally blind folks I imagine will have to get someone to do a quick walkthrough to get it quickly functioning, but I do believe it would be just a simple one-time show me kind of run through.  Then its off to the races.  Since the update, I really like this app.  Now it categorizes, captures and processes, and then reads it - when I am ready to say go.  It is very coherent relative to what it used to be.  I would actually have the patience to read a paper book page by page with it now, since it has been cleaned up.
