Description
Version 4.0 of EyeNote is 64-bit and compatible with iOS 11 and greater
EyeNote® is a free mobile device application developed by BEP as an aid for blind or visually impaired individuals to identify U.S. Federal Reserve currency denominations from Series 1996 to the present. The app uses image recognition technology and the device’s integrated camera to recognize a note and communicate its denomination back to the user, via voice or unique auditable beeps or vibration patterns for privacy.
* Utilizes VoiceOver for vocal and gesture feedback, if it is turned on.
* Does not require a data connection to work.
* One touch, hand-held operation.
* Identifies note face and back in any orientation, including portions of the note.
* Continuous scanning once application is open; taking a photo with the camera is not required.
* Quick response time.
* Supports English and Spanish languages.
* Compatible with Apple mobile devices iOS11 or greater.
EyeNote does not authenticate U.S. Federal Reserve notes as being either genuine or counterfeit. Please refer to the Apple AppStore℠ license agreement for additional information.

Does what it says it will do. Even recognized a rather old $10 bill (that has the four cars on back). Should be useful for my wife, who is blind. BUT!
Appears only able to say-out-loud the monetary denominations that it sees. Also, in addition to the say-out-loud annunciator, the amount is also printed in very large, yellow print on the screen. In public, this would be a rather serious privacy and security issue.
Possible mitigation: Use of headphones and hiding the screen.
Preferred mitigation: Silent feedback to the user, such as vibrations, and the ability to disable either or both audio and visual feedback.
Therefore, my first impression of the software is a 3 of 5 rating.
Also, answering another reviewer who said that the software does not recognize counterfeit bills, please note that the write-up for this app contains as a disclaimer that it does not recognize counterfeit bills as counterfeit. So, I cannot hold this against them.
Won’t work in dark room no light
Why would you not have the light turn on in a dark room to read currency? Blind people don’t have the lights on usually! You need the app to access the light on the smart phone in a dark room where there’s no light it is worthless does not work at all
Front camera ?
I am blind and i use this app from time to time and it has helped me out quite a bit, unfortunately the front camera on the phone will not work recognizing dollar bills. Is it possible to activate the front camera ???? It would be so much better cause of the way i carry my phone on shoulder strap .. if its not a feature can you please add it ?? Thanks Mak greets
