Has any of you tried VizSnap? It's an app for iPhone that allows us blind folk to take and organise photos.
A gentleman at the university of California, santa cruz, has developed this and it's really quite nifty [does need a more detailed user guide though] but it's only 1.0 and can only get better.
Check it out and enjoy taking photos as a blind photographer!

Has potential but...
This app has potential but there are a couple things that at least i can't figure out. Firstly when i go into the camera view, the audio gets routed to the earpiece making it hard to hear, you must have a head set to hear the audio.
Secondly, there appears to be no guidance at all, so you don't know what you're actually taking a photo of. Now i know it's impossible to have a guidance to objects if it somehow can't be recognized by having a database of common objects, which this and no other app has so i'm in the dark as to what i'm actually taking a picture of and the ambient sounds are of no help since for example when at a party you think you take a photo of something and then it's of something else and when you're at home alone not much sound is heard. Is there anything about this app i don't understand how to operate? Is there any gesture i don't know of?
Help would be appreciated.
Agreed
I agree. It's not an identifier - at least not yet. When you single tap to enable the gestures the thing immediately starts recording audio. You swipe up to record a voice memo for the photo which is snapped when you swipe up. Swipe down to save with just the recording made at the time of shot.
Thing i can't figure out is how you save the voice memos with the photo.
