Edit: pricey app!

3.99 is pricey? Not for something useful.

akeefer2• 17 years ago

The one sad thing about the app store is that people are now conditioned to expect that applications that take hundreds or thousands of man-hours to develop should be available for less than the cost of a cup of coffee . . . people that would plunk down $6 without thinking for a beer at a bar or a cheap bottle of wine balk at the prospect of paying $3.99 for a potentially useful application.

We agree, and we're developing apps for Android as well. Unfortunately it seems that Google conditioned people for those first few months that ALL apps should be free. Now when someone charges $.99 they complain endlessly with comments like: "Great app, but not worth paying for. 1 star."

It's really troubling to see people viewing our (hackers) work this way.

Wow. There have been SO MANY discussions about the Iphone App pricing "issues."

People, users are demanding apps in the $.99 price range. That's it. Until the market shifts, that's what people will buy. No one is "conditioned" to do anything.

Get over it. Change your expectations. Adapt.

30 seconds processing time without ocr?

nsillik2• 17 years ago

30 seconds? Really? I'm surprised. On our development phones it took 10 - 15 seconds.

Although OCR is something we're looking at it on the phone, although you probably wouldn't be happy with how long you'll have to wait for THAT to complete.

From the article you submitted: "The application then takes around thirty seconds to process the image, correcting for any issues with lighting, color, and even perspective (if you initially took a photo of your document at an angle, the final image will look as if it was taken front-on)."

We used to use Pixid's Whiteboard Photo. Hopefully, JotNot can do something with our non-digital whiteboards (of which, we still have many).
