Real-time Computer Vision predictions in Seek by iNaturalist 2.0

Just a quick feedback: I see that a new Android update (Edit: Seek version 2.3.3 on Android 9 Pie) has been released, including the option to flag wrong IDs and a ‘tap-to-focus’ feature. However, I could not see an improvement in getting stuff into focus, all it does is getting blurry upon tapping and re-focussing on the background (tested it in different environments).

For the flagging - it would be great to label wrong IDs which are already in my Poké Ball …- ahem… I mean stored under my observations, i.e. after ‘collecting’ them. In the field, a substantial purpose of using Seek is to have unknown objects identified. How is then one to decide whether the ID is trustworthy?

Lastly, I saw that for observations w/o vernacular names, the scientific name is converted and capitalized (that false-IDed Chinese moth is still in my observations…:roll_eyes:). That wasn’t the case in the previous version (see here: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/improving-translation-in-seek/4758/3?u=carnifex)
