Hi, We have an I.D. Mate Quest, and I love it. I find it quicker and more reliable at finding the barcode than most apps. I use it almost daily to identify packages and hear the directions for cooking. Maybe I am just not as proficient as some others at finding barcodes with the phone apps, including Seeing AI, but I find that the I.D. Mate is a lot more forgiving as to how it is positioned to find the barcode.
We also use the recording feature to label some things that it can't identify by the barcode, such as meats we bring home from the meat store.

Mate bar code reader instead of iOS barcode app? I hated mine. I think Seeing AI is a lot better at it.

Mate bar code reader and what their thoughts are as far as having a standalone device as opposed to using an app on their iPhone or some other bar code scanning app like SeeingAI? Someone is selling some I.D. Mate bar code readers on a buy/sell list I belong to and while I’m somewhat interested, I’m wondering if ultimately, the app more or less duplicates what the I.D. Mate bar code reader does? That or is the singular task that the I.D. Mate bar code reader is designed for is that much more superior at what it does that having a stand alone bar code scanning device may be worth h having? Also, for the record, I am completely blind so any features that the I.D. Mate bar code reader may have to assist folks with low vision wouldn’t matter to me and not be some sort of plus for having the device. Would appreciate any input or observations.
