It really depends on the actual product. For example, the code on a one-pound box of pasta is usually along the long, thin edge. For a box of cereal, it might be in one of the corners. The best thing that I can recommend is to find a sighted person, have them tell you where the codes on a few items are, and then practice scanning those codes. Red Laser is smart enough to pick up the code in passing, so you don't need to precisely center the code or focus the image. That means that you can just move the phone over the code, and it should be picked up. It takes some practice, which is why I recommend using the app on a few products whose coat placement you already know. On Nov 15, 2013, at 3:09 PM, Lea Langley <wrenlang...@sbcglobal.net> wrote:
