U know, I could not get seeing ai to read a bar code either.  II t was beeping 
quite fast, but that’s all I got.

I would agree that seeing AI at least in theory does more things. However, most 
of the time, I can’t get the barcode reader to do anything, even though I’m 
getting the tone at a very fast speed. I think it has gotten worse. I used to 
at least be able to get some things to read properly. The longer text or 
document reading has never worked all that well for me. And I already have a 
MoneyReader app that doesn’t instant job without me having to fool with the 
switch. So the only thing left is short text. And I do use that. So 
essentially, it is a single use app for me.

  While I totally agree that Voice Dream Scanner is a fantastic app and 
definitely worth the money, Seeing AI currently does more things, like the 
barcode reader. I have definitely noticed a change for the worse in Seeing AI 
over the past month or so. I have tried deleting and reinstalling the app, 
rebooting my phone, resetting network settings, etc. if Voice Dream Scanner 
could do barcode, currency etc. recognition like Seeing AI, it would be 
wonderful, but for now, these apps serve different sets of purposes.

    Hi Janet,
    I think that voice stream scanner is definitely the best scanning OCR 
application for your iPhone. I get much better results than I do with Seeing AI 
or KnFB. That app has actually deteriorated since it first came out in my 
opinion. I think he would be happy spending the six dollars for a Voice Dream 
scanner.

      Hi Larry and all. 

      Yes, I have the $6 to spare, but I’ve paid $55.99 for KNFB Reader app, 
and that doesn’t work well either, I have the Seeing AI app, I have the TapTap 
See app, and that isn’t working either.  So I just wonder how well this voice 
dream scanner might work.  Although, I would like to learn more about the voice 
dream scanner.

      If you have the $6 to spare, Winston Chin’s voice dream scanner is a 
wonderful option. I have found it extremely useful.

      The product option never works for me either.

        Hi, Janet, its not your phone, it's the app.  I've had nothing but 
problems
        with the bar code part of the app for quite a while now.  All of the 
other
        parts of the app work except for the bar code part.  So its not only 
you.

        Hi All, 
        I used to be able to use the Seeing AI app until I got my new XR phone, 
but
        now, for some unknown reason the app doesn't work 99.9 percent of the 
time.
        When I open the app and hold it over a can of soup or a box, etc, 
sometimes
        it will beep for a few seconds, and sometimes it just doesn't do 
anything,
        very seldom it will try to mumble a few words that I can't understand, 
and
        the phone also gets quite warm.  I've just called Microsoft support 
through
        the Be My Eyes app, and they told me they can't do any trouble shooting 
over
        the phone.  Although, they did read my can of soup to me, but I guess 
that
        might be all they can do, not sure! LOL!  All MS could tell me was to 
take
        it to an Apple store, and let them see how it is acting because they 
think
        something must be wrong with the hardware, or I might have some kind of
        virus or a worm, and Apple needs to see this.  MS also said the Seeing 
AI
        app is pretty strait forward, so I shouldn't be having this problem.  
So my
        question is can anyone tell me what settings to check to see if I have 
the
        app set up correctly? 
        I've uninstalled the app two times, and reinstalled it.  I've picked the
        voice I want to use for the app.  I've checked the language, I've 
allowed
        the app to use my camera.  When I double tap on which reading option I 
want
        to use meaning either to read a product, short text, document, etc,
        sometimes, voiceover just completely stops talking, but I can still hear
        some tapping sounds, so I know the phone or the app is doing something, 
but
        I have to close the Seeing AI app through the app switcher, to get 
voiceover
        to talk again, and go back into the app.  Sometimes the screen jumps to 
the
        app switcher, or just closes the entire app.  
        I've reset my phone up as a new phone two times since I've had it, I've
        reset my network settings as well, so any opinions will be greatly
        appreciated!  
        Thank you all.  
        Janet 

        Peace Be With You.
