Reviews are very positive so far:

This amazing application costs just $0.99 and is a masterpiece and could be a new trend.

You really need to try the app to see exactly how good it is.

This app worked well and quickly. I took a photo of a few products from my cupboard and it identified them immediately, and offered access to the internet to learn more.

I then turned the can a bit and it started recognizing bits of text from
nutritional information and all sort of stuff. I pointed my phone into the
fridge and it told me I had Tropicana Orange Juice, I turned it a bit and here was Lucern Milk. astounding.

Talking Goggles gives you amazing possibilities. We are constantly improving the app further, please contact us on support@sparklingapps.com for any comments or suggestions.

Pros and cons of Talking Goggles - a camera with speech app for iPhone and iPad

Talking Goggles - a camera with speech app good for

. . Hello. First of all, thank you for this great app. As a blind person, I have used Goggles a lot. However after last update some critical problems have occurred. Below you will find some of them. 1. The reading voice has changed with last update. But the new reading voice has problem in spelling some words in turkish. Thus, there should be an option to use iOS built in voices as in previous version. 2. The new photograph description feature is very well but, now, the simultaneous reading capability seems broken. Most of the times I am using goggles to read some thing on the screen or something in front of me outside. And it was exciting. But now, when I try to monitor some thing, instead of reading something, it starts photograph description although I dont need. thus, photograph description or text recognition should be able to be chosen by the user. If I wish description, I should choose only this or the opposite. 3. I cannot understand when video mode starts and wen ends. In previous version, there was a sound indicating it. 4. The buttons seems unlabeled sufficiently. So, please put more explanatory labels. Again thanks for this great app. I am very happy to hear that you are continuing developing Goggles. I hope it will be more exciting in the future.
I am a blind iPhone user and this app along with a couple of other ones is a real lifesaver. I am able to identify many products with it Quickly and accurately. I can even use it to recognize text on my digital thermostat and other places. I especially like to use it in video mode, it is simply fantastic.
I love this app. I am totally blind. Talking gargles helps me identify objects and products very quickly. I gave it only four stars simply because its a little bit slow. However, it is still a wonderful app and very helpful. Thanks to the developers.

Its suppose to read images but dont work. I tried different languages but I was unsuccessfully! Certainly it must improve!
Wow! This is the most creative app Ive ever tried. Now, my pictures are speaking, and this app speaks even better than me ! I lose the track of time when using this app! Awesome!
I just point my iPhone at anything, and it tells me what it is. Plus I can straight away get an idea of the proper price of it. Amazing. It seems to know most things. Really impressed.
This is one of the Best ideas Ive come across here in quite some time. Its super easy to use. It recognized everything I put in front of it and even said it perfectly in my own language. All the major languages are there. Talking Goggles will be Perfect for my trip to Europe now. A smart camera with speech, WoW... I am giving this 2 thumbs up and a must try from me!
And its a rare Alfa Romeo! I love it for that reason alone :-)
