Re: Identifying barcodes

[Arlene]

That gives me more understanding, Donna, thank you, that was something I 
didn't know. It's just after all this time, and it seems so tremendous being 
able to read cooking directions with the bar codes which is really great, I 
started thinking how something was so missing, and that was the experation 
dates. Thanks again.

Also expiration dates are stamped on products not printed. There is times in 
which the ink smears, the writing has faded. Until it is mandated that 
expiration dates be placed on an item, on the same spot for all products & a 
better expiration date is adopted, there is no way for a blind person to be 
able to read the expiration dates on products.


Donna



Sadly, I do not think you will ever see expiration dates in barcones. 
Barcodes identify the general product, not that individual package. But 
you would probably have to contact the manufacturer to find out if 
something could be done. According to my wife, there is little consistancy 
of placement of expiration dates and it is hard for even sighted people to 
find them.

Hi all,
I also wanted to elaborate on Supersense a bit. We're working on
adding cooking directions, since that is a crucial set of information
that can be obtained with a little cross-research after identifying a
barcode.
I've also noticed that from my personal experience, Supersense tends
to recognize more products in my pantry than the other apps I've
tried.

Re: Identifying barcodes

[Arlene]

Richard, I've heard from my sister and sighted friends that the print is 
really tiny for the experation dates. While I wouldn't mind writing to the 
different companies that do ocr, whether it be apps or computer ocr, maybe 
I'm asking a question that doesn't make sense in a way, actually I don't 
know how to put my questioning, sorry about that, but is there some 
technical reason that you know of that  the experation dates don't come up 
in the scanning? I mean experation dates are just as important as cooking 
directions on a box, well in the samecatagory of importantance. Sorry if I'm 
not making sense. I do want to think you for giving it a try as far as 
seeing if you could get the experation date, I think that may have been 
about 2 or 3 weeks or so when it last came up.

  Seeing A I has improved their bar code scanner, and it is quite good.



  It is also free.



  Super

Hi all,
I also wanted to elaborate on Supersense a bit. We're working on adding cooking 
directions, since that is a crucial set of information that can be obtained 
with a little cross-research after identifying a barcode.
I've also noticed that from my personal experience, Supersense tends to 
recognize more products in my pantry than the other apps I've tried.

 Seeing AI does a very good job. As does SuperSense.
The rule of thumb that I learned from Digit-Eyes' page on scanning bar codes is 
that on cans or bottles with a label, the code is usually near the seam on the 
lower half of the container.
Boxes are usually on the bottom.
Plastic bags are usually near the seam, toward the bottom.
Cans and bottles without labels, you just have to keep turning the container 
until you find it.

The rule of thumb that I learned from Digit-Eyes' page on scanning bar codes is 
that on cans or bottles with a label, the code is usually near the seam on the 
lower half of the container.
Boxes are usually on the bottom.
Plastic bags are usually near the seam, toward the bottom.
Cans and bottles without labels, you just have to keep turning the container 
until you find it.

RE: Identifying barcodes

[Richard Turner]

I’ve only just started using Supersense, so had not noticed the lack of extra 
info.
IN Seeing AI, there is a More Info button in the upper right if more details 
are available.
In the case of Lean Cuisine  frozen meals, the cooking direction is included in 
that more info.

Apps like Seeing AI depend on an internet connection to look things up I think, 
so the ID Mate will be as good as the latest database installed.

Re: Identifying barcodes

[Ann]

Hi,

If that information is available, yes. You double tap on the result once 
your bar code has been identified and all the info about that product 
will show up. Most of the time,  you do get cooking directions.

Re: Identifying barcodes

[Richard Turner]

Seeing AI does a very good job. As does SuperSense.
The rule of thumb that I learned from Digit-Eyes' page on scanning bar codes is 
that on cans or bottles with a label, the code is usually near the seam on the 
lower half of the container.
Boxes are usually on the bottom.
Plastic bags are usually near the seam, toward the bottom.
Cans and bottles without labels, you just have to keep turning the container 
until you find it.


Richard

"You know," said Arthur, "it's at times like this, when I'm trapped in a Vogon 
airlock with a man from Betelgeuse, and about to die of asphyxiation in deep 
space, that I really wish I'd listened to what my mother told me when I was 
young."
"Why, what did she tell you?"
"I don't know, I didn't listen."
