Re: Red Laser
Hi Gary and Sandy, I'm not sure that you'll be able to change the database of Red Laser's barcode IDs, for users who are outside the U.S. The original Red Laser app and fast scanning recognition method was developed by Occipital, who provided the ability to do a general Google search on the bar code. This was a paid app, but only $0.99. Because the app was so successful, eBay purchased it, and released it as a free app. For a few months after, there were two versions of the Red Laser app, one named "Red Laser Classic" that was based on the original Occipital release, that worked as a general purpose app, and a second that is the current Red Laser app, that is meant to drive the U.S. eBay related sales. So basically this stopped being a general purpose bar code scanning app once eBay bought it from Occipital. I still have the loser, original Red Laser Classic app, and it works up through iOS 6, but it hasn't been available for over a year. Hope this explanation helps. It's not such a problem for U.S. users, but it is an issue for anyone using it in another country.

Re: red laser
Sorry, didn't remember the part of the thread about using QR codes for personalized tagging. You are correct though, since the tag is essentially the text, you would have to print a different tag for any specific text you wanted encoded. I really like your idea of using a URL and changing the text files on the back end. Very creative. Anyway, to contact Red Laser, I went to their site, RedLaser.com, clicked on support, and at the very bottom is an email Us link. I had to use Fire Fox since there was a CAPTCHA. They had an audio CAPTCHA, but it was impossible for me to understand. They also tried to make me read some articles related to my question, but you can force it to submit your question anyway. I also thanked them for a useful app, and one that was pretty much accessible out of the box. Miles, who seems to answer all of their questions on their support site, was helpful and appreciative.

Re: red laser
I think that was mentioned in another thread. The only thing QR codes can't do is be re-used, so you can't stick a tag on some leftovers, then pull it off and tell the app it now means something different. Instead, you'd need to print a new label. Don't get me wrong, Red Laser is great and I much prefer it to other apps of its kind, but that is one limitation I see right now. Of course, there may be ways around it by encoding a URL onto the code and then changing the text on the other end of that URL, but that is not a simple solution for some. Hmm, I wonder what would happen if you used Dropbox to hold text files, then pointed your codes to them… Anyway, could you please tell us how you contacted Red Laser? I looked on their site but could not find an address. I want to thank them for their app and offer a few minor suggestions, such as auto-reading of the identified product or the option to have the flash always on. Thanks.

Re: red laser
I contacted Red Laser with a couple of questions. The responses were useful. Firstly they do not allow for an alternative barcode database, it is theirs, and theirs alone. Not terribly surprising as they are probably trying to drive merchants to register with them. They claim to have the largest registry around, 50 million codes. The second response was much more interesting, and one I should have thought of. We have discussed how to do personal tagging of items. Well, QR codes actualy encode text, so you can actually print your own QR codes and tag your own items. Then when you scan that tag, it will read out whatever you encoded in the QR code. This way you can use Red Laser as a reader for personally tagged items as well as UPC tagged items. I am liking this more and more.

RE: red laser
Hi, The idea was good but I was disappointed in the quality of the construction for the price. I got it when it first came out and it had very little body to it. I have to admit that the scans were good but at too high a cost.

Re: red laser
Hi. I love my standscan pro, it is worth the money. We can not get as good results with free hand, one of my problems is that the lighting here is rather bad, another is that my skills holding the phone in place is not very good. I can get really good results with standscan pro. The results I am getting without standscan pro is not usable for anything at all. Best regards Annie. Best regards Annie.

Re: red laser
Hi, I think that the StandScan Pro is worth the money. I haven’t tried the built-in lamps because i have the wrong battery pack and i didn’t need them where i ended up mounting the Standscan. I get almost as good results with Textgrabber and Standscan as i do with my flat bed scanner. I only wish i could get such fine results with freehand text, that way it really would be awesome. /Krister 19 nov 2013 kl. 15:15 skrev Sandratomkins : > I know what you mean Rose, but I have to say this particular bit of cardboard > can transform your access to products and written information.

Re: red laser
No, StandScan is no use. I have one, and it doesn't make any difference vs. holding the iOS device above the text. Maybe useful for those who have issues focusing the camera, though.

Re: red laser
I know what you mean Rose, but I have to say this particular bit of cardboard can transform your access to products and written information. Perhaps, other people here on the list, who have bought one or something similar, could say as to whether they think it was worth it?

RE: red laser
Thanks, will think about this, I still think that something made of cardboard
should not cost so much. I never object to paying for things, but, I want
value for what I get and I don't have a lot of room to set up one more thing
here right now.

Hello again Rose,
Firstly, let me explain that I sympathise entirely with your plight, my
husband, too, is away from home for this month and I am having to put these
various apps through their paces to see what's available to me in the freezer
or the larder. Now, it must be said, I am quite handy with these camera apps,
but I set up my stand scan pro and used no skill I simply placed the object
from the freezer inside the box and use the various apps. Below are the
results. By the way, I could have cheated and found something that I knew
RedLaser would recognise CamFind would see, but this was honestly the first
thing out of the freezer and it did take several attempts before I found an app
that would give me enough information. So here you are!
Good luck, Sandy
TextGrabber didn't do very well because the lettering on this packet is
multicoloured and is using stylish graphics
RedLaser found the bar code but only saw it as a number and couldn't identify it
CamFind just told me Tesco's pasta
This is from Prizmo there is a lot of rubbish, which, of course, I could've
extracted, but I wanted you to see the actual result. So please read on.

Re: red laser
My results when scanning a box of cake mix using Kurzweil was less than satisfactory. I got weird symbols for most of the numbers, rendering the cooking directions useless. So, scanning a box may be helpful in some instances, but I wasn't satisfied with the results I got. I even flattened the box out after removing the package of mix to see if that would improve things, and it didn't really help any. I'm glad to know about the UPC code database. I'll probably be adding a shortcut for that to my home screen.

Re: red laser
Hi. I am impressed with redlaser on an IPhone 5s, I have never scanned barcodes that fast. For me it is really an issue with redlaser, I have to copy the barcode number, and go to the phones search field, and then press safari and when I have the result. I do not understand why redlaser is so much better than other barcode readers, this is amazing. Why can the very expensive digit-eyes not be developed and optimized, so that it is just as fast.

Re: red laser
Dan, I wonder if you know about this? At the bottom of the results screen of RedLaser there are two sort of edit fields, though they are not exactly edit fields, The first is called UPC, and the second, I am afraid, I have forgotten. But you can paste and number in there if you wish. Anyway, the implication is that there is a direct link to the UPC database, but when I double tap tap UPC nothing happens. Have you found a way to do this? Otherwise, one has to go to Safari put in the right address for the UPC database and then choose look up and so on and so on and so on. I am just wondering if there is a quicker way directly from the RedLaser app. By the way, I completely agree with you when you suggest there are many ways of achieving the same ends and not forget the existing technology many of us (not me though) still have. By the same token, many of these camera apps are actually easy to yuse, but may require a little bit of teaching just to get going with them.

Re: red laser
I expect that some of the issues people are having with barcode scanning may be due to the phone they are using. The 5S is going to do better than a 5 or 4S simply because it has more processing power and better optics. Lighting is something that is easily forgotten. When I was working on the currency identification package for the old Nokia phones, I was cruising along through a set of bills, testing them over and over. At some point, I was getting miss after miss. The softtware just refused to identify anything which was surprising because it had been doing so well. What happened was that my wife went up to bed and turned the lights off on her way upstairs. With the advent of all these barcode or OCR options for cell phones, we also cannot forget the old options of a scanner and your computer, if you have that available to you. You do not need one of the adaptive options for OCR, so it can be done pretty cheaply, since most scanners come with free OCR software. I'm not saying that is an option for everyone, but we can often easily forget some tricks as we learn new ones. I had to learn this lesson when I started working on the bar code scanning project. I always assumed the bar code was on the price sticker. it isn't. The bar code is simply printed on the label or box, so you can't feel it. If you are concentrating on the area of a sticker, you are not going to find the bar code. If a bar code scanner gives you a code, but no product description, you can plug that into UPCDatabase.com and possibly find the product. There are other UPC databases, UPCDatabase.com is just the one I typically use. You can even plug it into directionsForMe.org and get the cooking instructions or whatever else from the product packaging. Anyway, at least at this time, I don't believe that any one tool will be a single solution for all scenarios, so I am glad there are various ways to skin various cats.

Re: red laser
Hello again Rose,
Firstly, let me explain that I sympathise entirely with your plight, my
husband, too, is away from home for this month and I am having to put these
various apps through their paces to see what's available to me in the freezer
or the larder. Now, it must be said, I am quite handy with these camera apps,
but I set up my stand scan pro and used no skill I simply placed the object
from the freezer inside the box and use the various apps. Below are the
results. By the way, I could have cheated and found something that I knew
RedLaser would recognise CamFind would see, but this was honestly the first
thing out of the freezer and it did take several attempts before I found an app
that would give me enough information. So here you are!
Good luck, Sandy
TextGrabber didn't do very well because the lettering on this packet is
multicoloured and is using stylish graphics
RedLaser found the bar code but only saw it as a number and couldn't identify it
CamFind just told me Tesco's pasta
This is from Prizmo there is a lot of rubbish, which, of course, I could've
extracted, but I wanted you to see the actual result. So please read on.

Re: red laser
Rose, Forgive me for asking, but do you have a stand scan pro or some such a light box? This really could help you with these camera apps. I am thinking, particularly, of your problem finding barcodes. Having the phone in a fixed position and just moving the item inside the box is a really much easier way of finding a bar code. I don't normally like to suggest to people to spend out more money formore things, but in this case I feel sure you would benefit from it. And one last point, as far as I'm aware, you never can feel a bar code. They are merely printed impressions and are never tactile.

Re: red laser
Hi Dan and all, thank you very much for that link to the database. That will be so helpful because I could only get RedLaser to read the barcodes but I couldn't always get information thank you so much for that information.

Re: red laser
If the app is showing the code on the screen, you can just have voiceover speak it, and then tap three fingers four times to copy it to the pasteboard. You can then paste that into the edit box on the website. This does require iOS seven or later.

Re: red laser
Hi folks. A couple of things for me to report here. Firstly, I was part of a group attempting to do barcode reading on a Nokea 6620 using Talks about 9 years ago. We attempted to use a two different Bluetooth barcode scanners. However, they were mono-directional and very difficult to use. Omni-directional scanners are inherently larger, but much easier for a blind person to find a barcode. We did not have the computer vision skills to actually identify and extract a barcode from the video feed. The apps that are now doing this are doing pretty well from what I can tell. I congratulate them all on overcoming a rather difficult computer vision problem. I just downloaded the Red Laser app and was blown away by how easy it was for me to quickly identify a couple of products. Did a slow scan of a couple of products, heard the bing, then flicked around until I heard the product that was scanned. Very easy, very smooth. Next. I saw that someone in this thread had scanned a package of Trader Joe's dried mangos. They said the app didn't identify the product. Since I happen to have a package of the self-same mango, I scanned it. I got the hit quickly, although had to flip the package over once, but got just the bar code number: 00071000. So, I went to www.UPCDatabase.com, entered the number in the edit box, hit submit and poof: Trader Joe's Just Mango Slices Size/Weight 6 OZ Issuing Country United States Last Modified 9 Feb 2010, 9:01 AM Other things of note. When I searched the app store to find Red Laser, the product description said barcode and QR code reader. So it does read QR codes.

Re: red laser
The app will beep, and vo will either announce a back button, or, much less frequently, the product name or price. If you have any vision, you will see that the flash will also turn off.

Re: red laser
You are right for the system flash, but the light in this app is different. I mean, it still enables the LED, but it is within the app itself. In the top right of the screen, just below the status bar, is a control called "light off". Double tap that to turn the light on or off. It turns off after a successfull scan, so you'll have to turn it back on when you start each new scan if the lighting is bad where you are. Even in good light, though, I find the flash to give better results.

RE: red laser
Hi Harry, What you describe is a Flashlight and it basically turns on the iPhones LED Flash permanently, well, until you turn it off again anyways, and it is meant as an emergency flashlight for sighted people. Like maybe somebody drops something in the dark as they walk along and they of course are not likely to have a flashlight along, but most people would have their phone. Anyhow, be careful you don't turn this on and leave it on as it would seriously suck battery.

Re: red laser
One thing to remember, a lot of time the bar code is on the bottom of a box. They are usually placed so that the cashier does not have to work to get the scanner to find and recognize it. It really just takes some experimentation to learn to find them.

RE: red laser
Today we were unpacking stuff we had bought at Sam's and we came across a large plastic jar which were a bit unsure of. I scanned it with the Id Mate Summit and it said "item not found". I decided to try Red Laser and easily found the bar code. It immediately recognized it as maraschino cherries and told me of a place where it was on sale. I am a little puzzled about the flash though. How does one turn it on. I saw a post describing a place near the top right of the screen but I can't find it. Is that a switch within Red Laser or a system level switch. Could Siri turn it on?

Re: red laser
On a lot of cans the code is near the edge of the label. If there are two labels its usually on the small one. On some boxes its on the bottom of the box. I think I also read that its usually near the bottom of an object because the scanners at stores are only four inches high. With all that said, I am not having a lot of success with the app either.

Re: red laser
It really depends on the actual product. For example, the code on a one-pound box of pasta is usually along the long, thin edge. For a box of cereal, it might be in one of the corners. The best thing that I can recommend is to find a sighted person, have them tell you where the codes on a few items are, and then practice scanning those codes. Red Laser is smart enough to pick up the code in passing, so you don't need to precisely center the code or focus the image. That means that you can just move the phone over the code, and it should be picked up. It takes some practice, which is why I recommend using the app on a few products whose coat placement you already know.

Re: red laser
Yes, it is a serious question. Often, holding a jar, can, or other round and relatively small object about eight or 10 inches from the camera and slowly rotating it is enough to find the code. For boxes, the code generally seems to be near in edge or corner; I don't think I have ever seen one in the middle of a package. On pasta boxes, at least where I live, the code is on one of the thin edges. It all depends on the item and the packaging, but once you get used to wear a coat is on a particular item or type of item, things should get a bit easier. Also, the Digit Eyes website has some scanning tips for their own app, but those tips should be quite applicable to Red laser as well.

hi all, I got RedLaser this morning, but how do you find a barcode when you don't know where one is? I'm not trying to be a smart mouth it's a very serious question.

Re: red laser
First, be sure you have the flash on, as this seems to help a whole lot. Second, try different distances. My iPhone5 seems to like six to ten inches away, but different cameras may need slightly different distances. If possible, get an item and have someone tell you where the code is, then practice scanning that so you can get a feel for where the phone needs to be to get a good scan.

Re: red laser
Hello, I played around with Red Laser yesterday. It's important to have good lighting. I know it has been suggested in this topic to turn on the light within REd Laser. This is located in the upper right hand corner, just under the battery percentage. Locating the barcode seems to be problematic at times even with comparing it with Digit-Eyes. Sometimes, when you think the barcode should be in the logical place it isn't. I don't know what kinds of things you are trying to barcode, but when I am dealing with cans, I place a rolled towel in front and in the back to stabilize it and move the can instead of the phone. This way I can keep two hands on the phone making sure that it is straight in the horizontal plane. HTH.

Re: red laser and papa sangre II with syncing and wifi
Red Laser will work with wifi or cellular. It needs an internet connection, so the only advantage to an iPhone here is that you can do lookups in places you don't have wifi, like a store. To get an app you already bought, just go to App Store, Updates, Purchased Apps. Here you will see, and can download all apps you have bought from any of your devices. Once installed, if the app developer supports it, data will sync between the two apps. Again, this is optional and some apps do not support the feature, meaning that the copy on your iPad will not sync settings or content with the copy on your iPhone or iPod.

RE: red laser
Thanks for posting this. I had a similar experience on two out of 5 scans last night after I had installed the app. Very strange but it did a great job with the other three. It isn't much harder to find the scan code with this than with my ID Mate Summit. My wife says that this is great but she doesn't plan to use it over the Summit. I'll probably do the same when convenient but gladly use the Red Laser when I need to. I'm not particularly worried about how much data the big E will collect on me. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Caitlyn furness Sent: Wednesday, November 13, 2013 4:41 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: red laser this is what happened to me today.

Similarly, the back outside cover of a paperback will render results. Lastly, something such as the stand scan pro will definitely make things easier as you can position the phone on the top and then slowly move your item within the view of the camera inside the box. I find this particularly useful when I want to find the barcode on something cylindrical such as a tin or a bottle or a jar. As for using the app: I wouldn't complicated, I wouldn't have multiscan is turned on and neither would I play with navigation or history, I would just double tap the scan button on the top right, search around for the code, and then wait till I hear a sound that indicates that the barcode has been found. Then just wait a little longer for the recognition to happen.

Re: red laser
I'm not as impressed with Redlaser as I had hoped to be. I scanned a package of dried mango from Trader Joe's, and all it told me was that a it was a Honeywell product. I don't know if that was acually on the package or not, but it definitely didn't tell me that it was dried mango. I'll have to try scanning some other products soon and see if I get better results.

Re: red laser
Hi Alex. My problem with redlaser is that it here in Denmark have many difficulties to find the items, and it is not that easy to search on google or simply to copy the barcode and go to safari.

Re: red laser
Indeed, Digit Eyes can do custom labels, which is nice. For bar code scanning, though, it is absolutely terrible in comparison to Red Laser, at least on my phone. I have found that Red Laser works much better if you enable the flash, so devices that lack a flash may have difficulty, but overall it works indescribably better. I have never used Digit eyes for clothing or other labels, but that eventual use is the only reason the app is still on my phone. That said, my understanding is that the Digit Eyes labels are nothing more than QR codes, which have their text encoded locally. That means that, in theory, Red Laser can scan these codes just as easily. If someone with both apps could confirm this, I'd appreciate it. I don't currently have anything on which to print these labels.

Re: red laser
Hello All, I want to make this point no matter which barcode scanner one will use on the phone. An understanding on where one would look for a barcode on different products is essential to be successful. I haven't had a chance to play with Red Laser yet, I'm very profficient in using Digit-Eyes. I know that on Digit-Eyes website, there is a link discussing barcode placement on various products. This may give one a better understanding on where to start. Now, I will tell you about some differences between the two apps. With Digit-Eyes, one can print out their own labels to use with many purposes. For me, my work entails generating files and paperwork that I need to keep. So, this feature is necessary for me. Also, one can purchase laundry labels that are waterproof, which can be affixed to the labels on clothing or kitchen containers that are reusable. I just wanted to point these differences out, so if one needs the ability to create labels that DigitEYES has this feature. HTH.

Re: red laser
Hi, Practising with the back side of CD cases is a very good way to start. Similarly, the back outside cover of a paperback will render results. Lastly, something such as the stand scan pro will definitely make things easier as you can position the phone on the top and then slowly move your item within the view of the camera inside the box. I find this particularly useful when I want to find the barcode on something cylindrical such as a tin or a bottle or a jar. As for using the app: I wouldn't complicated, I wouldn't have multiscan is turned on and neither would I play with navigation or history, I would just double tap the scan button on the top right, search around for the code, and then wait till I hear a sound that indicates that the barcode has been found. Then just wait a little longer for the recognition to happen.

RE: red laser
Patti, You have to click on the scan button then hold your phone about ten inches away and move it around very slowly until you hear the beep.

Re: red laser
I'd start with an item on which you know where the code is. Then, just hold it six inches away from the camera and move it further and further. Move slowly and remember to keep the camera pointed at the object. Remember that it is not an image identifier, but rather a bar and qr code scanner, so it will work on items with codes but not on anything else.

Re: red laser
Hi, I like this app. At the bottom of the window are tabs, I believe it is the 2nd or 3rd tab that says scan. Double tap this then hold your phone over the item you wish to scan. It helps if you have a general idea where the barcode is, the app scans it without any further interaction from you. It may beep once scanned, I can't remember. Your results show up with in the first few lines of the page.
