Music is playing, and the filling for my pie is almost done. I am content. Then I taste the filling, and immediately reach for a glass of water. I was such an idiot. What I thought had been corn syrup had actually been lemon juice, which doesn&#8217;t go with pecans at all! This wouldn&#8217;t happen if I was more organized or took the time to read bottle labels. Sighing, I throw out the filling, and start again. This time, when I get to the corn syrup, I pull out my phone. <\/p>\n<p>There are many different free services designed to let a blind person know what something is. Some of the results are very instantaneous, and some take a minute or two. Some rely on you to take the picture, while some connect you to someone. Flicking through my phone screen, I think through my options. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/taptapsee-blind-visually-impaired-camera\/id567635020?mt=8\">Tap tap see<\/a> is an app that has been around for a long time.  Currently free, the app helps you focus by small sound cues. When you hear one, the camera has focus on something, and you can take the picture. With it&#8217;s simple, five button interface, it&#8217;s a good one to reach for if you want something simple, like product identification, the color of something, etc. I consider it the roughest, quickest app to use, like a small broom. The answers are part computer generated, part human answers, so you could get something as specific as, &#8220;Bottle of Corn Syrup,&#8221; or as vague as, &#8220;Bottle on Countertop.&#8221; Still, because of its simplicity and quick answering system, this is often the first thing I turn to. Today it fails me however, as all it says is &#8220;Plastic bottle,&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/bespecular-help-the-blind\/id1068947453?mt=8\">Bespecular<\/a> is often next on my list. All human, I sometimes consider it the next step up from tap tap see, It allows you to take a picture, or a group of pictures, and record or type a question. That question is then pushed via notification to sighted volunteers, who either record or type the answer. You can get as many replies as you like, it isn&#8217;t limited to one. You get a notification each time someone replies to your question. Although I have not used this app as much as the others, getting a response can take just a couple of minutes. This app does require an account, but they&#8217;ve never spammed me. While this could probably work, it gives no guidance on taking a picture, and it seems a little more in depth than I want to go for a simple bottle identification, so I move on.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/seeing-ai\/id999062298?mt=8\">Seeing AI<\/a> is usually where I go after tap tap see for this sort of thing. A friend described this as a Swiss army knife of an app, and I couldn&#8217;t agree more. They&#8217;ve split the various functions of the app into different channels you can activate via a picker at the bottom of the screen. That app would almost beg for a blog post of its own, since it can also identify money, try and describe scenes and faces, read documents, and more. The two channels I want today are the short text channel and the product channel. The short text channel acts as a scanner, constantly looking in front of the phone for any text it can read. It acts sort of like a glance, without having to take a picture in frame. This is useful for reading things off the sides of things, which sometimes can get you enough to know what an object is.  The product channel acts as a barcode scanner, beeping helpfully when it gets close to a barcode. The faster it beeps, the closer you are. Once the barcode is detected, a window pops up with all the info on whatever you were scanning. When using the short text feature, I was able to get something about glucose, which told me I indeed had the syrup. <\/p>\n<p>If none of these apps had worked, I could have used <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/be-my-eyes-helping-the-blind\/id905177575?mt=8\">be my eyes<\/a>. Be my eyes is an app that places free video calls between blind people, and sighted volunteers. The connections are usually quick, and the people connected usually have a good grasp of English. This is usually a fast, and failsafe way to get something done, so if I have several things I need, this is often what I use. They now have over eight hundred thousand volunteers, and they&#8217;ve grown a lot since their inception. Because it&#8217;s a video connection, it can have a variety of use cases when you need an answer fast. I&#8217;ve already found the bottle though, so I didn&#8217;t need to pull this app. <\/p>\n<p>Having located the bottle in question, I quickly finished the filling for my pie, and texted a friend saying the pie was in the oven, and sorry for the delay. She called, and I explained about the lemon juice mix up. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You know you could have just tasted it, right?&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>I felt so, so stupid! Of course, lemon juice and syrup don&#8217;t taste at all the same, and it could have saved me time, not to mention my phone&#8217;s battery. She reminded me that though there are a plethora of apps in existence, sometimes you don&#8217;t need them. But I hope my silliness at least got you to think about the different apps, and how they can be used. There are many, many more that I didn&#8217;t include in this article, so it&#8217;s always good to do some research on your own and find what works for you. But whether you&#8217;re identifying different cans, trying to figure out which shirt says, &#8220;God bless all Unicorns,&#8221; or you&#8217;re just trying to figure out what button does what on the newfangled coffee machine you brought home, I hope you can better find the app you need.<\/p>\n<p>By <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/MusicFairy15\">Jessica Hodges<\/a>, Blind Abilities Staff Writer<br \/>\nYou can <a href=\"MailTo:Jessica.Hodges@state.mn.us\">email your feedback and suggestions to Jessica<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Descriptions of the Apps:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/taptapsee-blind-visually-impaired-camera\/id567635020?mt=8\">Tap Tap See<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Description<br \/>\nTapTapSee is designed to help the blind and visually impaired identify objects they encounter in their daily lives.<\/p>\n<p>Simply double tap the screen to take a photo of anything, at any angle, and hear the app speak the identification back to you (Note: Spoken identification requires VoiceOver to be turned on).<\/p>\n<p>TapTapSee helps the blind and visually impaired become more independent in their day-to-day activities.<\/p>\n<p>TapTapSee has been a huge hit with users taking thousands of pictures per-day.
