Well that just appeared on my phone a few days ago and I had never heard
of it.

Not bad. It correctly translated some Polish and Romanian into English
and also correctly identified a Schneider Acti9 DB.

Obviously the next task for Google Lens involved taking off my
underpants and aiming the camera at my knob.

It need a bit of fine tuning.

So you point your cameraphone at something near you, and the app tells
you what it is. Isn't that what us humans do all the time?

Its meant for the blind. That is the point of such apps. As I said earlier,
not yet ready for the masses.
There is a hand writing reader on The Apple Seeing AI version, but it still
cannot read most peoples handwriting.
People have complained when they point it at their young wives and it says
probably a 50 year old woman. Not a good idea to allow anyone to see or hear
the result of such programs.
There is a function on mine that is supposed to help you to teach it, so,
it has faces of most world leaders and many celebs already, but you can,
apparently give a name to any face you photograph and its supposed to tell
you who is in the picture. Not had the energy to test this myself.

What would be your reaction if a pair of glasses with a camera in them were
sold? I'd love it as it would make this kind of thing more usable but when
asked, the general public are frightened of the privacy angle, so a company
who does this will, I imagine come in for some criticism.
This is why, I imagine that the cameras on the Echo devices with screens
have a physical cover over them so they can be made blind and obviously so.

No, I just joined Be My Eyes as a volunteer. By Aira looks interesting,
if more expensive.

Can it read your electric meter though Brian, and then email the
reading straight to ED/EON/SSE/... ?.

No need for a 'smart' meter if it can :-)

I don't know about you but I can't read Polish, nor translate it easily.
The number of times someone posts a 'what is it' thread on here
shows that individuals don't always know what something is.

You wouldn't use it on something you knew.

5 seconds to translate a Polish notice at work was impressive.

Well I did use it on something I knew:-) But I was just testing it.

Polished it again.

Yes well, part of Seeing AI for the I phone is a so called smart picture
describer.
It seems to have a slight scale issue. My tiny garden shed on he lawn is a
house in a field. I have to say I've never tried it on body parts, bearing
in mind the image goes to the cloud for its smarts, I decided I did not want
to be the first person to corrupt the mind of an AI computer.

I'm sure they'll thank you for the training image.
