Do any of these work on the iPhone5? Because you have a stand alone scanner, right? I'm a bit confused, so pardon me here. This is basically all new to me here. I could not get Red Laser to work at all on anything. Take care and thanks. I'm keeping hold of this. Brenda mailto:meadowlar...

Hello Chris, Talking Goggles isn't the appropriate app for identifying a basket of apples. TapTapSee is much better for that. Talking Goggles reads text and recognises famous images. So it reads the covers of books since they can be found on the internet and are always the same. It also recogn
