Re: Bar Code Reader App??
QR codes are very good for labelling things of your own. I print them onto labels and affix them to devices in an inventory I maintain at my work. I also put them on things like the envelope containing my year's worth of tax materials. Although I use the Digit-Eyes website to generate the QR codes to print onto labels, I use another iPhone app called QuarKode QR Reader because it is much easier to use.

They contain information on whatever they're attached to. In my experience, they're frequently used so you don't have to type in a long URL or some other information.

Re: Bar Code Reader App??
QR, as in code, stands for quick response. I had another go with Digit-Eyes yesterday, and still had no success. I held the phone near the item and did get the initial single buzz telling me that it was ready to start work, but that was the only sound it made, so, obviously, I must be doing something wrong. I did realise that I had the screen curtain on [I was getting bugged by moths of prodigious proportions when I turned the phone on at night and drawing the curtain removed that problem]. If it is that, it is strange that Tap Tap See is not affected, but it is still taking photos and having them described with no problem.

A QR code is just a series of square dots arranged in a grid that contains information based on a standard. They contain information on whatever they're attached to.

Re: Bar Code Reader App??
If you are not using the full version of Digit-Eyes, it will never gnize a UPC code. The lite version is only for QR codes. If you have the full version, it works best to start the scan with the camera against the object, and then slowly move the phone back so the auto-focus can lock in on the object. Hence, why it is a good idea to read the scanning tips on the digit-eyes web site.

Dacia! You have no idea how your post, quite unintentionally I am sure on your part, cheered me up. I now know that I am not alone in the world of those who have sort the help of digit-eyes and have failed. That reminds me, I did try to call up someone on Be MY Eyes, which I have done, without any trouble, several times, but last night, I couldn't get a connection.

Re: Bar Code Reader App??
All this, really, great info leads me to the belief that the display stand that I made and was, note the past tense, so proud of is, * useless. I place the item to be scanned about 10 inches, or thereabouts from the phone which, in itself, is standing, on its bottom edge, at the other end of the stand, thus placing the camera lens about 6 inches [I have a 5S] above the stand. Should I lower the camera to be able to get the label and barcode information? I think that, if I was just to hold it in my hand, I would have the greatest difficulty in focussing the lens in just the right place. If just lowering the camera while still retaining the display stand would be enough, I think that I could work out a method to do that. How far above the stand would the camera need to be?

Re: Bar Code Reader App??
Sandra! I have been convinced, for many years, that I share my small part of the world with a supernatural entity and when taking photos the other night of the cat, the dog and anything else that the camera lens picked up, there was one with the everpresent dog in the foreground, but, standing behind him was "a person in short pants". Well, to the best of my knowledge, the dog, the cat and the Jewel are the only sentient beings in the house, so was the person in short pants standing behind the everpresent hound the energy who glories in the, rather, prosaic name of Fred?

First is the description of Digit-Eyes Lite from the app store, followed by the description of Digit-Eyes Full Version. If you then have questions, give a shout out. Digit-Eyes lite description Digit-Eyes Lite allows you to read Digit-Eyes QR (Quick-Response) text bar code labels. It can be upgraded to read UPC / EAN labels as well. You can make and read your own labels, too! Using the Digit-Eyes website, you'll be able to create a PDF file of Digit-Eyes QR bar codes that each contain up to 250 characters of text. These codes are useful for labeling items where the content is not expected to change. You can create labels to identify clothing, CDs, canning, moving boxes, important documents, appliance settings and more. Using the printer attached to your computer, you can print the PDF of these codes on inexpensive address labels and affix the labels to items that you want to identify. When you scan the Digit-Eyes Quick-Response (QR) text labels using the Digit-Eyes Lite app on your iPhone or iPad, the content of the labels will displayed and, if you have VoiceOver active, read aloud to you. In addition to reading the Digit-Eyes text labels, you'll also be able to use the Digit-Eyes Lite application on your iPhone or iPad to read standard Quick-Response (QR) barcode labels. Please note that Digit-Eyes Lite does not natively read UPC / EAN codes or barcodes that are in the code 3-of-9 format; it also does not read the voice labels that the full version of Digit-Eyes can create. It is only set up to read and voice Quick-Response (QR) text bar codes. You can purchase separate upgrades that allow you to add functionality to read UPC and EAN manufacturer's barcodes, to read code 3-of-9 barcode labels or to read code128 barcode labels. You can also add an option to record and play Digit-Eyes audio labels of your own. Digit-Eyes Lite is intended to be used by people who live or work with someone who has the full version of Digit-Eyes, but who need don't need the full product, only the ability to read and create text labels. A typical example would be a sighted person who can tell what an item is and doesn't need to be able to scan UPC / EAN codes, but who does need to be able to understand the contents of the Digit-Eyes text labels created and used by a spouse or co-worker. Thus, Digit-Eyes Lite is a good choice if you just want to use your iPhone or iPad to read the Digit-Eyes QR-coded text labels or to create text labels that you and others can read with the Digit-Eyes application on your iPhone or iPad.

Make your own QR code labels on the Digit-Eyes website and print them on inexpensive address labels.

Re: Bar Code Reader App??
Hi, Everyone. I got the Digit-Eyes full version on Wednesday and absolutely love it. A few months ago I had my husband help me identify things for our pantry and had made Braille labels, so used the BDE (before Digit-Eyes) labeling to help with learning to scan. I also downloaded the podcast from Applevis where Anonymouse gives hints and tips on the use of the full version of the app. I manage cans better than bottles or packaged items, but then I've only been working with the app for a day or so. As an example, I had the three cans of chicken stacked together and simply labeled "chicken". What I didn't know, and found out through Digit-Eyes, is that two were Hormel and one was Chicken of the Sea. So cool. What's the "“you’re close alert”? Would there be a way to read the sell-by or expiration info on the packaging? Finally, is there a way to share the bar code info with another home organization app on the same device?

RE: Bar Code Reader App??
Jewel, I have been using DigitEyes for a number of years. It actually works great if … (a big if!) you can find and successfully scan the bar code. That, as they say, is the rub. Once you have accomplished that, you will get more information about the product in question than you probably ever wanted. How far to hold the phone away from the product and where to scan is difficult to determine. A few hints: If you are scanning a can or bottle with a wrap-around label, look for the seam and scan just to the right or left of it near the bottom of the container for the bar code. If you are looking at a box, scan the sides, not the back or front, again toward the bottom edge. Hold the phone about 6- to 8-inches away from the object. It takes practice and a lot of patience, but it is doable.

e beef stew, and how both get ready to record their audio labels. • Read standard inventory tags in code 39 or code 128 format. This is how Michael knows which printer is which at work and how Ben does the shelf stocking in his store. • Print labels directly from your iPhone on your Bluetooth-connected printer; • Create and read QR vCard format business card information and add the content to your contacts. This is how Digital Miracles gets information from customers at conferences and how we share our own contact information; • Create lists of code that you've scanned; edit them, type additional information and share them with others. This is how Robbie notes what items are getting used up and tells Gary what to buy at the store; • Use Digit-Eyes with any blue-tooth connected laser scanner, integrated as a single unit. This is how John is able to work at a grocery store reading the shelf tags to find where to stock the product. Use of the free Digit-Eyes website comes with the product. The website contains extensive tutorial material designed for users of the iPhone and iPad who are not sighted. The product purchase also includes free online support and tutoring. Digit-Eyes is available in English, Danish, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Norwegian, Spanish and Swedish. Digit-Eyes www.Digit-Eyes.com The solution is in your hands.

Re: Bar Code Reader App??
Hi, it takes some practice to get Digit eyes to work the way you want. I had the app for almost 2 years before I felt good about using it. When you scan a can, try to scan where the code is located, usually on the bottom and runs along close to the seam of the label. When Digit eyes detects the code, you will hear a fast triple beep, at that point, you want to scan around that area. Also, make sure you have internet connection. It really is a very good app. Also, if you have sighted help, you may want to put a piece of clear tape over the code, this makes it easy to find and concentrate there with the scanning process.

Well digit-eyes lite or heavy seemed to me to be out, so replacing my bottle of gingerale with a can of paint, I let my trusty Tap Tap See loose on it, and was told that it was apurple and red can. Well the purple and red was additional information but that of it being a can was nothing new because a can I knew it to be. Moving on to Camfind. In the beginning, as TTS had done, I was told that it was a can, but the colours were a lot more fancy: cherry, strawberry and maybe something else fruit-related. No, there wasn't a bowl of cherries anywhere, in case you are asking. Then, without my appearing to do anything, I seemed to be hurled, into the world of vehicle and personal accident insurance. Where in the wide world that came from, I haven't the foggiest. I was told that I could get Tap Tap See to read a label, but I haven't found the trick of getting it to do that. Speaking of Tap Tap See, by far my favourite photo recognition app, so far, I took a photo in my kitchen cum sitting-room last night and got back a description containing 6 separate details: Detail #1: "medium-sized dog" #2: black short-haired coat" #3: "Lying on brown *fur carpet" #4: "in front of cupboard" #5: beside black steel wood burner" #6: "in the house!" Not bad: huh! I put an asterix beside fur as my home help has passed remarks on the amount of hair that Guideon deposits on the carpet and the evidence of the contents of the vacuum cleaner bag prove that she is not telling porkies, but have TTS describe it as a *fur carpet was, I thought, just a bit rich.

As far as I know yes. When I bought the app, it was $19.99, so they have dropped the price.

RE: Bar Code Reader App??
Hi Richard, So I went to the site and read about the app. I take it then all you need to do is pay the $9.95 and you can then scan items from the grocery store and the app will tell you what they are. Also for that price can you go to the web site and make your own labels?

Re: Bar Code Reader App??
i replied before I really read through your message. Digit-Eyes has millions of commercial bar codes in its database. Having said that, some smaller brands are not there. But yes, you can create your own, but it is very useful with many products. On their web site with the scanning tips they explain how to find bar codes more efficiently. But, the iPhone camera is not really designed for bar code scanning, so it is slower than a dedicated bar code scanner. Since the Envision America ID Mate costs about $1300, taking a little longer to identify a bar code is just fine with me.

It will always be hard because the iPhone camera can only see straight ahead. The advantage of the dedicated blindness oriented product is that it has an omnidirectional camera that actively scans around for the bar code.

Re: Bar Code Reader App??
Is it hard to locate the barcode with digit eyes? Can digitize see barcodes on products from stores, the ready made barcodes? I know you can make your own barcode labels but how does it do with boxed foods and cans of food, and other household products? Does it have a barcode database for these things? Thanks for any clarification. I had heard that iPhone cameras were not as good at picking out bar codes as were the laser barcode readers, but I am wondering if this is accurate. Thanks for any information anyone can share. Another question: does digitize have barcodes that you can so or pin onto clothing and that can go through the washer and dryer for color labels?

Re: Bar Code Reader App??
Digit-Eyes by Digital Miracles, L.L.C. https://appsto.re/us/QG8Bw.i I like Digit-Eyes the best. The key is to place the camera against the object, start the scanning, and slowly pull the phone away about 4 to 8 inches. If you aren't on the bar code, you can slowly turn the item about a quarter of a turn and wait, or, start over. There are lots of good tips on their web site for scanning tips.
