heres one for you. it is out of stock but you could search for another company.
www.independentliving.com
do a search on talking barcode reader.
its not a stand alone but $399 is alot better then the $1500 from 10 years ago.
it is called the scan and say barcode reader. and is a omni directional
scanner. and has a 500,000 barcode database that you can add to. with software.
i imagine you could use the barcode reader with the on line bcscan web site and
the w e script too.

sorry to hear you can not search on the internet.. hey is this widely use by
many blind folks?At 08:43 PM 7/16/2008, you wrote:
the w e 7 barcode script goes to a barcode web site and retrieves the data
from there database if there is any info on the item you scan with a barcode
reader and the script. you have to create a user name and password if you want
to be able to enter new barcode descriptions that is not in the database. but i
am alittle leary of doing this because if the web pages closes shop you would
be out of luck.
one stand alone scanner is called the i d mate. i haven't found the newest
info on it yet but this one use to only store 150 barcodes and cost $1500
i haven't found new info on it yet or if you can still buy it.
the other one i saw was for DOS and windows 95 and had to stay connected to
the computer. but i haven't found new info on this one either.
i can't search for anything right now. search.com that i use has been down
for 3 days now.

there are a few companies that sell the complete kit. the omni scanner
and the software but 10 years ago it cost $1500.00 that is why i created my own
DOS program and bought a logitech kkeyboard scanner for $199
i'll try to find the company but i am sure the price is still too high.

I'll be damn this is so interesting, I never knew this went on. You
opened my eyes here ok thanks much!At 07:53 PM 7/16/2008, you wrote:
i am useing the scanner to scan in the bar code from food packages
and cans into my own database. once the description is entered into the
database you can scan the box or can of food to find out what you are going to
eat.
if you make your own barcode lables you could scan them into the
database and use them to lable cd's or software cd's with there serial numbers
etc. and retreive the descriptions later.

hi hey I hope I'm not being ignorant here but what is it for
shopping at the store or waht?At 06:25 PM 7/16/2008, you wrote:
i think that one of the biggest thing to look for besides that
it is omni directional is that it will automatically send a carrage return
after you scan a bar code. this is the same as pressing the enter key after
each scan. some scanners do not have this feature or else they can be
programmed to do this.
otherwise you will have to press the enter key or maybe a
button on the scanner after each scan.
this would be very time consuming if you are useing your
software to enter or scan your items into your own database. or scanning many
items on the bcsan web site.
i have a 10 year old logitech scanner and it came with 2 pages
of bar codes to reprogram the scanner for odd bar codes and to turn the carrage
return on or off by scanning the barcode from the instruction book. i do not
know how the new scanners are reprogrammed. maybe they are all automatic?

Does anyone know anything about barcode readers from
envisionamerica.com?
I am in receipt of a private email suggesting that I
investigate their wares before proceeding with a purchase.
