Re: Barcode apps, please help.
Hello Maria, I don't know where you are, but here in France, Red Laser is next to useless. I can find bar codes but they don't appear to be in any of its databases. Digit-Eyes, on the other hand, is great. The button to scan in Red Laser appears to be labelled Bolt.

Re: Barcode apps, please help.
Hi, I'm in the US and for me, red laser works great. True, it is very helpful to have a general idea where the barcode is on the product you are scanning. On the red laser app, there are 5 buttons along the bottom. The button in the middle, almost just above the home button is scan. When the app scans the barcode, you'll hear a beep, then you can flick your finger like normal to read your results. Another app, I use sometimes is Consmr. Yes, that is how it is spelled, :). It also has a scan button just above home. Lately, I've been using fooducate, it has a barcode scanner as well. It tells you the product and all the nutrition info.

Re: Barcode apps, please help.
Hello Anne. I have found another app, that works great especially if you use your standscan pro. It works also quite good without standscan pro. Best barcode scanner from simpleact inc. It searches for the barcodes on google. Readlaser is also a great app, but you are right it is not having many barcodes here in Denmark too, but it does have some barcodes. Digit-eyes is in my opinion to difficult to use, you will have to know exactly where the barcode is located, that is not the case with the two other apps. Again both redlaser and best barcode scanner (qr code) works like a dream with standscan pro, that is not the case with digit-eyes. Cheers Annie.

Re: Barcode apps, please help.
Hello Anne, Annie, Traci and Others, In general, camera apps and scanner apps use a button just above the Home button at the bottom of the screen. As Anne described, this button on the RedLaser app is labeled "Bolt". Anne, the U.S.-centric only product databases of the RedLaser app date primarily from when eBay bought the RedLaser barcode scanning app from the original developers, Occipital. Up until that time, you had more options to search with barcode scan results, including using your local Google or other search engine. For a while, two versions of the app were kept available: RedLaser and RedLaser Classic. The RedLaser Classic version was a continuation of the original app as Occipital implemented it. I have this version, and stopped updating it, so I can still use the orginal app version separately. However, as of January 2013, the last update for RedLaser Classic puts up constant "nag" messages to "update" to the RedLaser app that eBay owns. If you read the app reviews, anyone who updated to that version lost all the general barcode scanning capability that was not tied to the eBay databases. There's no alternative current RedLaser version that is useful for people outside the U.S. and Canada, but if you happen to have one of the old versions of the RedLaser Classic app you can use that. Or you can try Annie's suggestion of Best Barcode Scanner - Scan QR Code by SimpleAct, Inc., which does seem to be very fast.

Re: Barcode apps, please help.
Hello. I forgot to mention an important detail. If you use the qr code app I mentioned together with standscan pro, you will sometimes need to lift the item you are scanning a little. I tried about 20 apps, next after redlaser it is the best app I found. Sometimes I use redlaser and copy the code, it can not find, and search on google. We miss a good app that is just as good as redlaser, and has as many barcodes as digit-eyes. Cheers Annie.

Hello Annie, I got the QR Code app this morning and I'm very impressed. It's easy to use and recognises slightly unusual products here in France. Thanks for finding this.

Re: Barcode apps, please help.
Hi Annie, I too got this app this morning after reading of your success. Here in Ireland we are challenged re databases and barcodes. I find this "Best Barcode Scanner" to be fast and much more flexible as to sourcing databases. Plus, with one of my scans, I found one of the sources to be "DigitEyes" so, maybe, this will also give us access to their database? Being lazy, I haven't found my way to lists of ingredients etc, but imagine if I were to tap on the proffered home page for the product such info would be available. I have a friend, in Australia, who has specific dietary needs and, for her, it is essential to know what, precisely, is in the product, so this one might just do that. Any hints as to how to get to such info quickly would be much apreciated. Sandy.

Re: Barcode apps, please help.
We are adding barcode reading to Talking Goggles as well. But Talking Goggles reads many more products that do not have a barcode, either by recognizing their image or by reading the description on the package with OCR. Please try it out and tell us how we can improve our app further.

Re: Barcode apps, please help.
Hello Martijn, First let me say what a fantastic app Talking Goggles is. I e-mailed one of your colleagues about localising Talking Goggles into other languages but I haven't had any response. I have a discussion list for French-speaking visually-impaired users of Apple products and many of them are rather put off by labels in English only. There are also many on this list who are not native English speakers and who might know of other visually-impaired friends who do not cope well with English but who would appreciate being able to use Talking Goggles in their own language.
