Tap tap see is pretty good for identifying products like food stuffs, 
commonly seen objects, or pictures with plenty of highly visual and not 
untidy textual script or writing.
For instance, it can identify a "guinness" glass just by the logo and the 
word written on a beer glass in a fairly low light environment.
It will easily identify say your box of cherios, can of tomatos, jug of 
milk, or the color of your shirt, dog or wife.
It can be fairly detailed too, for instance when I took a picture of me 
holding a lit cigarette it said something like man smoking a cigarette or 
holding a lit cigarette or something like that...detailed enough that you 
new  precisely what the image was.
Taking a shot of my dog it said large black dog sitting or laying down.  I 
didn't try pictures of less commonly known items like a ham radio, or 
specific kinds of guitars or amplifiers etc.
I was able to catelogue my entire canned food supply and some mystery food 
boxes in the back of the cupboard though...

Be my eyes is a terrible app because you wait a very very long time for any 
help and so it renders itself pretty useless.  And when I say very long 
time, I gave it 2 hours once and finally canned it and haven't tried it 
since.

I would say tap tap see is worth the yearly subscription or monthly 
subscription anyway...if you have little in the way of sited help around it 
can get you quick and easy answers.

I have been using taptapsee for over a year. I have never used it for
anything ham radio related, but I have used it to identify objects such as
beer bottles and the color of clothing. I don't know how it would work for
anything ham radio related because its not always specific the first time a
picture is taken I think a better app for ham radio might be be my eyes
because there is a human on the other end of the conversation who can be
asked questions that are relevant to your needs.

Do any of you use the Tap Tap See app? How does it work for you? Have you
used it in conjunction with ham radio in any way?
