LookTel Recogniser does not OCR signs or describe images.

LookTel Organiser has the user create a database of images. The creators recommend a sighted person does this because a sighted person can ensure only the item is fully in the picture. After the database is created, when the app is running, aiming the iDevice's camera at the item will trigger a match in the database and the name of the item will be announced. The same basic technology is used in LookTel Money Reader, but in Recogniser, one can add any image to the database.

>> Hi, how is everybody doing? Earlier, I downloaded and installed the recognizer app from look tell. Is there a way of getting it so that when you turn the app on it does not immediately start reading things? Also, how does it do with reading signs in buildings? I had read on the description that it was able to read signs.
