Just received an email from Michael at OKO and I guess hey
Ve completed their analysis of the beta tests many of us were doing and I guess they will be releasing the product within the next few months to the Canadian App Store! Guess I will get to test it out again. Hopefully, this time with better results.
@Montrealmarc Apparently OKO will be out within the next 3 months. I'll be keeping an eye on this. We'll see how it goes. It will need a lot of improvements to work with our lights. Blind people will have to realize that they can't totally rely on it. At least if it hasn't changed very much from the beta. I like OKO I'm not trying to sound negative. I just think it needs a lot of work in order for it to be useful in Canada.
@rowdyamerican@Montrealmarc it does. I found it wrong as often as it was right. As long as people are aware of that which I included in my feedback after the beta, it would be useful.
@bmoore123@Montrealmarc I agree Brian. I sent extensive feedback including intersections that didn't work. I said that I like the app but a lot of work would have to be done to make it useful for Canadians. I have heard several U.S. demos and they don't seem to have the issues that we have here. If they can make OKO work reliably here, I think it will be a great tool to add to the toolbox.
@rowdyamerican@Montrealmarc yeah, even ones I would have expected to work like main and danforth which is pretty simple. no advanced or anything and it was consistently wrong. Not sure why.
