Trace See Plus

Description of App

Use App when people with visual impairment want to know what is in a picture. The application selects the closest thing from the 1000 categories of the learning model and answers in English the probability of the correct answer as to what the image is. Also, detect the person's face and answer the number of people. Since all processing is completed inside the device you use, you can use it with confidence without forwarding information such as photos to the outside.
After recognizing the image, by touching the screen with your finger, examine the color and shape of what is being seen with voice and sound.

(How to use)
When you want to know the state in front of you, take a picture. Also, you choose photos from the album. The recognition result of the image is displayed in English at the bottom of the screen together with the voice so you can check again with the voiceover turned on. Also, if the face of a person is shown, App answers the number of people detected. Detection accuracy depends on how it is photographed.
Next, turn off the voiceover and check the color. The types of colors are 10 types of chromatic colors: red, yellowish red, yellow, yellow green, green, blue green, blue, purple, and brown, and beige. Achromatic color is five kinds of white, light gray, gray, dark gray, black.
When you touch the screen, App answers the color name by voice and sound. If you trace slowly you will only have sound. You will examine the change of color by sound change.
Correspondence between color type and sound is as follows.
With the sound scale of the organ, 'C' is Red, 'D' is Yellow red, 'E' is Yellow, 'F' is Yellow green, 'G' is Green, 'A' is Blue green, 'B' is Blue, the high sound 'C' is Purple. In other words it expresses sounds of one octave.
When the application is pressed and held for a long time, it answers all colors and proportions around the finger.

How to use

1. Selecting a picture
When you want to know the state in front of you, take a picture. Also, you choose photos from the album. The recognition result of the image is displayed in English at the bottom of the screen together with the voice so you can check again with the Voice Over turned on. Also, if the face of a person is shown, App answers the number of people detected. Detection accuracy depends on how it is photographed.
When? you tap a picture with Voice Over , it tells you the date of photo shoot, the time of day, whether it is portrait or landscape. Even if you shoot with the camera button, photos can not be saved, so you can shoot easily. (In the application Trace See, as of Ver 1.3, photos are now to be saved. This is considered when you want to check again.)

2. What is the picture?
When the picture is decided, processing starts with sound ‘Pon’. App will answer in English what is reflected in the picture immediately. There may be multiple candidates. It will answer the probability that the candidate will be correct.
the example picture of 'flowerpot 52%'
the example pictures of 'banana 100%' and 'computer keyboard '38%'
Next, it will answer the names of the colors contained in the whole picture and its ratio as a whole by 10 as voice. The color names are explained in the next section. The colors are classified in the same way as when the screen is long pressed. With that in mind, you will proceed to the next stage of examining the color.

the example picture of 'oxt 58%'

4. Key Points
key1.
Learn the relationship between voice and sound with touch, and by tracing slowly, you will feel the change in color due to the change in sound. If the same sound continues, it will be the same color area. If you do not understand the color, also touch and listen to the voice.
key2.
Voice and sounds will come out as much as you touch, so it may not correspond to the part you are looking at. Please slowly examine the pictures.
key3.
You can enjoy more photos by trying this App while asking someone with visual explanation.
