Are there Apps that do this? - GoFuckYourself.com

I'd like to be able to snap a photo with the phone of say a leaf (or maybe a bird) and it can tell me what it is. Does anything like this exist?

There is one for leaves - I was looking at it the other day.

I will see if I can find it in my history.

Google Goggles if you're on Android. Doubt the have an iPhone version of that one, but it is possible.

I know Google is working on image recognition technology, but I haven't heard of any apps that have that capability yet, other than Google's "goggles." Never used it though.

Do you mean specific types of leafs / birds? Or just an app that identifies the object?

Ideally I wanted to take a photo of a plant and have it be identified. While thinking about that, I thought it'd be cool to be able to do the same with birds.

The app store says Leafsnap doesn't exist. Can you find it?

It'd be an interesting app to crowdsource. Snap an image, the "mob" identifies it. Top 3 answers are shown. Be prepared to see "your mom" hit the top answer quite a bit.
