Say you see someone walking a breed of dog you’d like to adopt. You just type in some information about it, like “little dog with a smushed face,” and you’ll probably get a result like, “French bulldog.” Or, what if you see a movie poster, like “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”? You just type that in, to get information about where it’s playing, and to watch a trailer.
Here’s an easy solution
But, wouldn’t it be easier if you could just snap a picture of any of those things, and have your smartphone do the search for you? You don’t have to type anything. Just take a picture, then CamFind searches for it. It’s pretty impressive, too. CamFind uses the Cloudsight API (application program interface) to search the Internet for your image. If it’s a cup of coffee, it’ll recognize that image, translate it into an online search, and give the results. For example, say you’re on vacation in Miami. You see someone eating a hamburger. You’re hungry, so you take picture of the burger. In seconds, CamFind recognizes it as a hamburger, then locates information about hamburgers, and shows you addresses of nearby places to get one. You can also use CamFind’s voice-activated search, to speak a search request. Or take a picture of one of those QR codes you sometimes see, or a barcode, and CamFind will take you directly to the website associated with it. CamFind recognizes almost any image. Plus, it’s free to use. So, give it a shot, to see how well it works for you. Do you want to see CamFind in action? Check out this video.
