Whenever I take a picture with the camera button on the left, it shows a loading indicator and the app crashes. Not a great first impression. Coming from a company the size of Microsoft, such trivial crashes should have been caught.

6S here, I also have this crashing problem. On iOS 11 Beta.

I use "not a hotdog" app whenever in need of a hotdog. It's amazingly accurate.

Hi Leo,

I am guessing you are using iOS 11 Beta. We are currently working on support for iOS 11 beta, and will shortly be updating the app. Stay tuned!

Hi Anirudh,

It's a really commendable effort from MS. An immense benefit for people who have vision challenges.

Are you guys hiring? If yes then what are the skills you are looking for?

I guess you also live stream using Periscope and not any other service.

I am recommending this for my elderly family members with poor eyesight. This could greatly increase their quality of life.

It correctly identified my refrigerator and bookshelf. Color me impressed.

Anirudh and team: Excellent product release. Thanks for doing such important work for marginalized people! We need more tech like this and less like that.

Not available in the Australian store. Ah, I forgot my entire country doesn't exist.

US App Store only at this stage it seems. Pity, I'd like to try this. edit: I'm wrong. it's in other stores as well, but not in the Australian app store, which is the one that I tried.

For the launch, its available in USA, Canada, India, New Zealand, Singapore and Hong Kong. And gradually, should be available in more countries.
