Recently, Google updated the Google Mobile iPhone app to include the Google Goggles feature. Google Goggles is a visual search tool that allows you to take a picture of an object such as the Sydney Opera House, choose a category for that object (either text, landmarks, books, contact information, artwork, wine or logos) and then have Google return results for the visual search.
For people who are blind or vision impaired, Google Goggles is not accessible at this time so Delicious Monster Software has created an accessible version of the app called Noogle Noggles! The app can do everything that Google Goggles does, such as identifying many barcodes, including QR codes.
You can download Noogle Noggles from the Apple iTunes store for free. Noogle Noggles is also compatible with the iPod touch which Google Goggles isn’t.
Update: Noogle Noggles in no longer available.
