I could not find info on how to use RedLaser several months ago and would try it again if there is info out there somewhere. I was not successful with that one. Cher

At your suggestion, though, I did try it, and I scanned seven different items, some cans, some boxes. It got every single one, and much, much faster than Digit Eyes ever has! I am absolutely astounded at the app's speed and forgiveness in terms of code positioning. I just turned on the LED flash, and moved the phone over the item, and the code was found. In my tests so far, Red Laser blows Digit Eyes out of the water. Thank you for telling me to give it one more chance!

In which case, I suggest you update it and take it for a spin. I can't compare it with digitise because I never bought that app. Also, for general product recognition, do give CamFind ago. > > Using the various camera apps with the stand scan pro will certainly improve your chances of success, however, I am finding both CamFind and RedLaser very easy to use freehand. > > Good luck, > Sandy > > Sent from my iPhone > >> On 12 Nov 2013, at 15:48, Alex Hall <mehg...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> Do you have any comparisons between this app and Digit Eyes? As I said in a previous post, I mostly use Digit Eyes because it lets me scan for barcodes without needing to align anything. Does Red Laser now allow one to do that as well? If so, it sounds like it would be a very useful app, since it gives extra information instead of only the product name. >>> On Nov 12, 2013, at 10:44 AM, Sandratomkins <sandratomk...@googlemail.com> wrote: >>> >>> Hi, >>> Having said that RedLaser was very accessible I then discovered there was a new update. I just updated it and tried it out only to find that it seems to be better than ever! I tried it out on a few CD covers holding the phone, on purpose, at an angle so that the barcode was not straight interview. RedLaser pinged and within seconds I had my information. More than that, if I scroll down the results screen I can find much more information reviews where to buy it etc this is now looking like quite an interesting app. Also, I find that if you move the phone very slowly you can pick up a barcode on the fly as it were obviously not as easily as handheld shop barcode reader, but really not too bad. >>> >>> HTH, >>> Sandy >>> >>> Sent from my iPhone >>> >>>> On 12 Nov 2013, at 14:31, Annie Skov Nielsen <annieskovniel...@gmail.com> wrote: >>>> >>>> Hi Sieghard. >>>> >>>> Is there any barcode scanner on the market, that can be used with a mac or maybe an IPhone, so that it will be easier to find the barcodes and you could do it quicker. I am using barcodes much, and if there was a device on the market for a reasonable price and some software, that could be used, I would like to buy a barcode scanner.
