[NFBC-SFV] NFBC-SFV: Has anyone tried Microsoft Seeing AI?

[Nancy Urquilla]

Hi Lynne,

I have been using the app for quite some time now as well and I really like it.

My favorite feature is the product feature. You can scan almost any barcode and it will tell you what it is. Also, the text recognition is pretty accurate.

It doesn't take that long once you take the picture of the text you want to be read. I'd say 5 to 10 seconds at the most.

I know people who have bought the color identifier for $30 or something like that. It's a separate thing you carry around. I never bought one, but I found a color app. (I have problems with dark blue and black). It would be nice to have all that software in one place!

>> Hey everybody! Good seeing you yesterday! Got a  question for people with iPhones or other iOS devices. Have you tried Microsoft's fe app, Seeing AI? Microsoft published it c in 2016. Julian may have had a Tech Talk about it too. I read this January 2018 review from college student Veronica With Four Eyes. Her post was quite informative, but I was wondering if you had tried it and your opinions. There may be latency depending on the version of software or the speed of your device.

>> Anyway, do you have reviews or feedback on it? I'm curious what people I know think of it. Here is Veronica's post on Seeing AI:
