[Electronics-talk] aps for IOS device [a word about Tap Tap]

[cheez]

Dominik, CEO and founder of TapTapSee and our new app CamFind.



We utilize both computer recognition and human crowdsourcing for the app. 
So basically whenever a computer can't recognize an image, it gets sent to 
humans who try to ID it, but this process is quite expensive and we want to 
keep the app totally free, but there are quite high costs in paying dozens 
of people each day to tag the images so if we don't raise enough money, we 
might not be able to keep TapTapSee alive which would be a shame so 
donations to this particular $20 incentive of our other project we have on 
KickStarter will be critical for us as half the money will go to directly 
support TapTapSee (I would do the entire money but since the KickStarter 
campaign is for a different app, I'm not allowed to do so)



If you don't mind please direct anyone you know that would like to see 
TapTapSee stay alive and thrive to our KickStarter campaign: 
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dominikmazur/camfind-a-mobile-visual-search-app 
and select the $20 incentive where half the donation will go to sponsor 
TapTapSee or maybe you will be kind enough to donate yourself.



We really appreciate it, but by keeping the app free, it's costing us 
hundreds of dollars per day (in order to pay sighted people to help tag the 
images)  Please share this with anyone that could benefit from TapTapSee and 
uses it and would like it to survive in the future.



Thanks,



Dominik
