Description
LookTel Money Reader instantly recognizes currency and speaks the denomination, enabling people with visual impairments or blindness to quickly and easily identify and count bills. Simply point your iPhone’s camera at a bill and the application will tell you the denomination in real-time. Several currencies are supported including the US Dollar, Euro, British Pound, Canadian Dollar, and Australian Dollar.
Featuring LookTel’s patented and proprietary object recognition technology, LookTel Money Reader makes it as easy to recognize bills as possible. There’s no need to hold the iPhone still or capture a photo and wait for a result – recognition happens instantly, and in real-time. Additionally, the app does not require any internet connection, which means it can read money quickly at any location, anytime.
LookTel Money Reader is a helpful mobile assistant that’s simple and easy to use. While shopping, use the application to verify money while checking out or to ensure you are getting the right amount of change back. It can also be used to quickly and easily sort money with total independence from virtually anywhere.
LookTel Money Reader provides Voice Over support for several languages including English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Polish, Russian, Korean, Finnish, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Japanese, Greek, Hungarian, and Mandarin.
Note: If you are using an iPhone 3GS or 4th Generation iPod, LookTel Money Reader requires an environment with plenty of light.
Disclaimer: This app should not be used to detect counterfeit currency or be solely relied upon for money identification.

Amazingly good
This app is a must-have for a blind iPhone user the developer listens to people that use this app and makes modifications to it regularly it is a must-have I strongly recommend buying it
Oh my, incredibly fast and forgiving
We just compared eyenote to looktel money reader. Hands down looktel is superior. Questioned the 9.99 price but after using it we all said, "now that is great technology". It's worth 10 bucks. So fast and forgiving. Dont waste time with eyenote (free, developed by gov agency) - you get what you pay for. Way to go looktel. Give us blind users more apps.
Thank you for The changes
