Description of App
TapTapSee is designed to help the blind and visually impaired identify objects they encounter in their daily lives.
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).
TapTapSee helps the blind and visually impaired become more independent in their day-to-day activities.
TapTapSee has been a huge hit with users taking thousands of pictures per-day. It has garnered multiple podcasts, reviews, as well as positive feedback within the community.

How Fast and Accurate is TapTapSee for currency?
I'd be interested in comparisons between TapTapSee and LookTel Money Reader performance with foreign currencies. The latest update for LookTel Money Reader added support for recognizing the Brazilian Real. I tried running TapTapSee vs. LookTel Money Reader on various currency, and found that LookTel Money Reader was significantly faster in its identifications (at least on the dollars and Euros that I tried just now.) So I'd be curious whether anyone who has both apps can report back on the experience of using LookTel Money Reader vs TapTapSee for the new supported currencies:
Australian Dollar
Bahraini Dinar
Brazilian Real
Belarusian Ruble
British Pound (including new 50 Pound note)
Canadian Dollar (including new 20, 50 & 100 notes)
Euro
Hungarian Forint
Israeli Shekel
Indian Rupee
Japanese Yen
Kuwaiti Dinar
Mexican Peso
New Zealand Dollar
Polish Zloty
Russian Ruble
Saudi Arabian Riyal
Singapore Dollar
United Arab Emirates Dirham
United States Dollar
Of course, LookTel Money Reader is a paid app that currently lists for $9.99, and TapTapSee is a free app.
I would love if...
Awesome app, but...
