Seeing AI App from Microsoft is Now Available in the iOS App Store
Sent from David Trott
Link to Blog Post: <https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/accessibility/2017/07/12/seeing-ai-app-is-now-available-in-the-ios-app-store/> https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/accessibility/2017/07/12/seeing-ai-app-is-now-available-in-the-ios-app-store/
Seeing AI, a free app that narrates the world around you, is available now to iOS customers in the United States, Canada, India, Hong Kong, New Zealand and Singapore.
Designed for the blind and low vision community, this ongoing research project harnesses the power of artificial intelligence to open up the visual world and describe nearby people, text and objects.
“I really do think this app will be a game changer for many as it’s just simple to use,” said Jenine Stanley, who is legally blind and reviews apps and technology for Main Menu, the American Council of the Blind’s tech radio show.
The app uses artificial intelligence and the camera on your iPhone to perform a number of useful functions:
• Reading documents, including spoken hints to capture all corners of a document so that you capture the full page. It then recognizes the structure of the document, such as headings, paragraphs and lists, allowing you to rapidly skip through the document using voiceover.
• Identifying a product based on its barcode. Move the phone’s camera over the product; beeps indicate how close the barcode is – the faster the beeps, the closer you are – until the full barcode is detected. It then snaps a photo and reads the name of the product.
• Recognizing people based on their face, and providing a description of their visual appearance, such as their gender, facial expression and other identifying characteristics.
• Recognizing images within other apps – just tap Share, and Recognize with Seeing AI.
Stanley said she was “blown away” by the speed and ease of use of the app. One of her favorite features is the Short Text channel, which reads signs, labels and other short snippets of text. “That feature alone is worth the app,” she said. “It’s also fast — almost instant.”
Because this is still a research project, there are some abilities that we consider “experimental.” One of those is the Scene channel, which uses AI to describe the photo you capture so that you have a better idea of your surrounding environment.
You can download the app here for iPhone in the six supported countries, with more being gradually added over time.
We would love to hear what you think! Tell us how Microsoft technology is helping you experience the world in new ways @MSFTEnable. We also love feedback and would love to know how we can continue to improve our products and services through the Disability Answer Desk (now with ASL support) and Accessibility User Voice Forum.

**3 From Cullen & Associates – Special Session Update
Governor Bruce Rauner has called for a Special Session to commence at noon on Wednesday, July 26th. The purpose of the Special Session will be to focus on elementary and secondary education funding, as the State still does not have an education funding formula, required to distribute education money included in the recently enacted budget. As you may recall, SB 1 (school funding reform) passed both chambers on May 31st, but the Senate has placed a parliamentary hold on the bill, not yet sending it to the Governor. Citing school payments that are due as early as August 1st, the Governor has called the General Assembly back to Springfield to attempt to address the school funding impasse to ensure that all school districts are able to open in the fall.

**4 Update on Cook County Beverage Tax

Cook County, Ill., soda tax still on hold as judge considers ruling

Preckwinkle, Dart spar over budget cuts Board leader says sheriff isn’t acting in ‘good faith’ By Hal Dardick Chicago Tribune
The financial squeeze over a delayed Cook County soda pop tax is leading to a harsh war of words between Board President Toni Preckwinkle and Sheriff Tom Dart. Preckwinkle accused Dart of “making excuses” and embarking on a “media tour” instead of working with her to cut spending in the wake of a judge’s ruling on the new tax. Dart, in turn, called “insane” Preckwinkle’s suggestion that management ranks were swelling at the sheriff’s office and contended that he continues to work with the board president to finalize spending trims.
The sharp exchange came at dueling news conferences Wednesday: Preckwinkle’s to update efforts to trim $68 million before Nov. 30, Dart’s to announce the identification of another victim of serial killer John Wayne Gacy.
In November, Preckwinkle broke a rare tie vote to enact a 1-cent-an-ounce tax on all sugar- and artificially sweetened beverages. The tax means a case of pop would cost an extra $2.88. But Circuit Judge Daniel Kubasiak put a hold on the tax just before it was to take effect July 1 after merchants and the beverage industry said the measure included too many last-minute changes and didn’t pass state constitutional muster. On Wednesday, Preckwinkle said she’s been advised not to expect a speedy resolution to the lawsuit — even as she predicted the county would prevail over the long haul.
The county was expecting the tax to bring in $67.5 million this year and $200.6 million in 2018. So Preckwinkle started making cuts equal to 10 percent of spending planned for the last four months of the budget year in areas she controls, and asked other countywide elected officials to do the same. “Virtually” all have complied, making 300 layoffs and opting not to fill 600 open positions, she said. Chief Judge Timothy Evans is working on a final plan, but Dart is not cooperating, she said. “The sheriff continues to put forward proposals that are either unrealistic or will not result in real reductions,” Preckwinkle said. “Instead of working in good faith with the budget office, he’s embarked on a media tour, either personally or through surrogates.”
Preckwinkle contended Dart should have done more in recent years to cut staffing at the jail as its population declined and has generally expanded his management ranks. “That’s insane,” Dart replied, when asked at the Gacy news conference whether his staff was “bloated.” The sheriff also took a dig at Preckwinkle, saying he “didn’t create this crisis” that “dropped in our lap.”
“Our hope is that we’ll be able to work with them to get this done,” he said of the cuts. Cara Smith, the sheriff’s policy and communications chief, said Dart has submitted a plan to cut $17.9 million and started to implement it, but Preckwinkle thinks $3.2 million more needs to be cut. Dart, however, believes he’s already held back on spending even more this year that should count toward the $20.1 million target. Dart cut loose 66 recruits about to start police training, let go an additional 47 still in the academy and laid off eight correctional deputies, Smith said. The sheriff also laid off four other employees, ordered nonunion workers to take two days off without pay, stopped hiring for vacant posts and cut $4 million in nonpersonnel areas, she said.
“We recognize these are very, very difficult times, and have, when called on, have done our part to address the shortfall that the county’s facing,” Smith said. As for not reducing jail staffing as much as Preckwinkle would like, Smith said Preckwinkle failed to address provisions in the union contract that exacerbate absenteeism issues that make it hard to cut positions. And she said Preckwinkle’s count of managerial posts in Dart’s office “is mistaken” and based on a faulty interpretation of job classifications made to satisfy a federal court. Joining the fray Wednesday were Democratic county Commissioners Richard Boykin of Oak Park and Jeffrey Tobolski of McCook. Boykin compared Preckwinkle to “a drunken sailor with the taxpayers’ credit card, who is being dishonest, and everything she sees she wants to tax and spend.” Boykin also called the county’s budget predicament “a manufactured crisis, all in an effort, I believe, to bully the judge into a favorable decision on the sweetened beverage tax.”
Preckwinkle noted that although Boykin and Tobolski voted against the soda tax, they voted for this year’s spending plan. “We’re in a very difficult circumstance here, and name-calling isn’t gonna get us where we need to be,” she said.

**5 From Vending Market Watch
32M Microchips Employees Company-Wide JUL 21, 2017
SOURCE: THREE SQUARE MARKET
Three Square Market will become the first U.S. company to provide implanted microchip technology to their employees.
RIVER FALLS, Wis. - July 20, 2017 - PRLog -- Three Square Market (32M) is offering implanted chip technology to all of their employees on August 1st, 2017. Employees will be implanted with a RFID chip allowing them to make purchases in their break room micro market, open doors, login to computers, use the copy machine, etc. This program, offered by 32M, is optional for all employees. The company is expecting over 50 staff members to be voluntarily chipped. 32M is partnering with BioHax International and Jowan Osterland, CEO, based out of Sweden.
RFID technology or Radio-Frequency Identification uses electromagnetic fields to identify electronically stored information. Often referred to as "chip" technology, this option has become very popular in the European marketplace. The chip implant uses near-field communications (NFC); the same technology used in contactless credit cards and mobile payments. A chip is implanted between the thumb and forefinger underneath the skin within seconds.
A micromarket, also known as a breakroom market, has become a staple in the U.S. with over 20,000 locations and growing. While in existence for over a decade in the American workplace, the international community began to embrace this only a few years ago. A micromarket is a mini convenience store located right in the employee breakroom using a self checkout kiosk, similar to what is found at many major retailers. Businesses see multiple benefits when adding a micro market to their location, such as increased employee morale and productivity. 32M entered this growing arena over four years ago and is rapidly growing in market share and believes this technology will help it continue this trajectory.
"We foresee the use of RFID technology to drive everything from making purchases in our office micro markets, opening doors, use of copy machines, logging into our office computers, unlocking phones, sharing business cards, storing medical/health information, and used as payment at other RFID terminals. Eventually, this technology will become standardized allowing you to use this as your passport, public transit, all purchasing opportunities, etc." commented 32M CEO, Todd Westby.
"When working with our operators over in Europe, we came across a company of chipped employees at BioHax International and the concept of using RFID with micro markets quickly grew," commented 32M VP of International Sales, Tony Danna. "We see chip technology as the next evolution in payment systems, much like micro markets have steadily replaced vending machines. As a leader in micro market technology, it is important that 32M continues leading the way with advancements such as chip implants" added Mr. Westby.
"The international market place is wide-open and we believe that the future trajectory of total market share is going to be driven by who captures this arena first" said 32M COO Patrick McMullan. "Europe is far more advanced in mobile and chip technology usage than the U.S. and we are thrilled with the growth opportunity this enhancement will bring to us. Thanks to our market partners in Sweden, we met this innovative company and look forward to working with them to take our market share to another level."
32M is envisioning this technology to help it grow its' other self checkout businesses. "We see this as another payment and identification option that not only can be used in our markets, but our other self checkout / self service applications that we are now deploying which include convenience stores and fitness centers" added Mr. McMullan.
Employees will be chipped at the 32M inaugural "chip party" hosted at their headquarters in River Falls, WI on August 1, 2017.
32M based in River Falls, WI, is considered a leader in micro market technology. With its' patented technology and industry-leading smart phone application and inventory intelligence, 32M has grown to over 2,000 kiosks in operation in nearly 20 different countries plus it operates over 6,000 kiosks in its' corrections industry business, TurnKey Corrections. For more information on 32M visit http://www.32Market.com or http://www.BreakRoomRehab.com or follow them on Twitter, @32Market, on Facebook, Instagram or LinkedIn by typing in 32Market.
BioHax International is a company based in Sweden on the forefront of implanted chip technology. Osterland was recently a guest speaker on the TED Talks. Visit www.BioHaxSweden.com <http://www.BioHaxSweden.com> for additional information.
**6 NAMA Calorie Disclosure Update
NAMA Joins Allied Associations to Ask FDA for Limited Extension on Front-of-Pack Compliance
Continuing NAMA's positive work on Calorie Disclosure, the association co-led a recent effort with Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA); SNAC International; National Association of Confectioners (NCA) and American Beverage Association (ABA) on a joint letter to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requesting a limited extension on compliance.
Specifically, the FDA was asked to: (1) grant a limited extension of the compliance date to align with the forthcoming extension in the compliance date for the Nutrition Facts Panel revisions, so that companies only have to revise labels once to comply with both sets of requirements; and (2) address the outstanding issues involving type size for front-of-pack (FOP) calorie declarations, as well as calorie declarations for gums, mints, and rolled candies.
This effort is a continuation of NAMA's forward-leaning work to provide flexibility for operators and CPG (supplier) members for front of pack labeling on products sold in vending machines and disclosure of calories to consumers at point-of-purchase.
Members are urged to continue compliance efforts with the Calorie Disclosure rule as currently in place with front of pack calorie disclosure that is "visible" to consumers at point of purchase.
