Re: Reading bar codes with iPhone 7
Seeing AI will read prescription labels, though not as well as Script-talk. Since you need minimal information you should be fine. Also Seeing AI has a barcode reader. Not sure on the accuracy, as I’ve never had the need to scan barcodes myself. > On Jan 13, 2022, at 5:18 PM, Holly wrote: > > Bev: > > You could try downloading 'Seeing AI'.

Re: Reading bar codes with iPhone 7
Bev: You could try downloading 'Seeing AI'. It is a free app for iPhone and has a product recognize channel. Open the app and flick up to you hear 'product' announced. Then scan the bar code. There will be a series of beeps and the closer you get to the whole bar code, the beeps will increase in speed. When the bar code is recognized, you will hear a musical set of notes and then the info will read out. The bar code is usually at the bottom left of the can label seam. Seeing AI has a 'short text'' channel, which is the first one that comes up when you open the app, and it may be able to read the prescription info. Also, for the prescription info, you might try 'be my eyes' , if you have it, or 'AIRA, if you have that app. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.

Hi I have a IPhone 8 and also have had trubble doing this and I laso have a IDMate Summit and have found it is easier to read barcoads with that then it was with the Iphone.

walmart does do braille labeling and some pamphlets I believe. I can tell you that they have put a lot of time and effort in to this. Not sure though how it is distributed.

RE: App to Scan Bar Codes on Prescription Medications?
I just called my local WalMart pharmacy and they didn't know about a mail order service. I checked further and found it at 800 273 3455. They only do 90 day refills but will provide the reader and will do a one time labelled bottle for a shorter duration refill. They have several ways to get the prescriptions to them including dropping it off at the local pharmacy and having it held for the mail order pharmacy. No more waiting for an hour or more at the local pharmacy only to find they are out of stock and I have to wait a few more days for a shipment to arrive. Just one o fthe joys of rural living.

RE: App to Scan Bar Codes on Prescription Medications?
Rob, I appreciate the link to the ScripTalk Station product. That system is dependent on getting the prescription supplier to participate and issue a talking label that works with the ScripTalk reader. Unfortunately, when I attempted to execute the link on the ScripTalk page where it said For more information on how to have your pharmacy participate and issue your prescriptions with a ScripTalk Station, contact En-Vision America today., I got an Error 404 - Not Found. This doesn't give me much confidence in the product.

Re: Bar codes, recognition and databases
Yes I have run in to this as well but with digitEyes it reports the barcode and tells you that this particular base number is often used as an inventory barcode for the store. I can't remember exactly what it says but it does tell you and try to educate you at the same time grin! A good program.

Bar codes, recognition and databases
Hi, Not wanting to state the obvious but perhaps people mistake A lack of information in the database for a barcode scanner not working. If, for example, RedLaser pings, it means that the barcode has been found and registered. However, if the result is only a number this means that the barcode cannot be recognised from the available database. So, in an attempt to clear things up, it wouldn't be right to say that RedLaser doesn't work just because the database is not adequate to your needs. As long as it finds a number, it means that RedLaser has recognised the barcode. Thus, as a barcode scanner, it is working perfectly. The problem then, is merely one of the database size. I did also like QR code reader, but for some reason, since the last update to703, this is not working for me. It does, however, have a much larger database which you can access, plus, it can access other databases such as that of digitise. So, if we can only get this to work again, we would have the best of all worlds with QR code reader and RedLaser on our iPhones. With regard to general product recognition, let me remind you all that CamFind is also excellent! This is not a barcode reader but a product recogniser. Lastly, I just updated TextGrabber and find it to be really very good and much more forgiving of skewed text when used even freehand. Speaking personally, I don't find TapTapSee to be a tall satisfying. For reading information such as thermostat settings or the status of a washing machine, I would much prefer to use Face time or some such application and enlist the help of my friends.

Re: Bar codes, recognition and databases
I also want to add to this that some codes aren't going to work. For instance, we order spices from a catalog and have them shipped. I scanned one such container, and the code was found, but VO said nothing and the app kept scanning. I had a sighted person look at things, and it turns out that the code is used for packing and not as a final item identifier. What you get from a store should usually work, but it seems that some places use packing and sorting codes if you order items from warehouses like we do those spices. Red Laser does not report this to VO, though, and there's just a quick note on the type of code found that disappears after a few seconds. So, if you get a beep but nothing else happens, it may well be the wrong type of code.

I scanned one such container, and the code was found, but VO said nothing and the app kept scanning. I had a sighted person look at things, and it turns out that the code is used for packing and not as a final item identifier. What you get from a store should usually work, but it seems that some places use packing and sorting codes if you order items from warehouses like we do those spices. Red Laser does not report this to VO, though, and there's just a quick note on the type of code found that disappears after a few seconds. So, if you get a beep but nothing else happens, it may well be the wrong type of code.

If, for example, RedLaser pings, it means that the barcode has been found and registered. However, if the result is only a number this means that the barcode cannot be recognised from the available database. So, in an attempt to clear things up, it wouldn't be right to say that RedLaser doesn't work just because the database is not adequate to your needs. As long as it finds a number, it means that RedLaser has recognised the barcode. Thus, as a barcode scanner, it is working perfectly. The problem then, is merely one of the database size. I did also like QR code reader, but for some reason, since the last update to703, this is not working for me. It does, however, have a much larger database which you can access, plus, it can access other databases such as that of digitise. So, if we can only get this to work again, we would have the best of all worlds with QR code reader and RedLaser on our iPhones. With regard to general product recognition, let me remind you all that CamFind is also excellent! This is not a barcode reader but a product recogniser. Lastly, I just updated TextGrabber and find it to be really very good and much more forgiving of skewed text when used even freehand. Speaking personally, I don't find TapTapSee to be a tall satisfying. For reading information such as thermostat settings or the status of a washing machine, I would much prefer to use Face time or some such application and enlist the help of my friends.

finding bar codes
Hi All, I was told by a nother instructor that on cans the bar code is just to the right of the seem at the very bottom. If you are searching for a bar code on a box, it is usually on the end you don't open. On a package, it is usually right below the seal that you pull or tear p to open it. However, I am still having problems finding the bar code using digit eyes with this information. I would love someone to share their positive experiences and how it did work with them. Have a great day and Bod bless. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: Finding Bar Codes
If you haven't used the tutorials, you should. Most actions take some time to learn. You probably don't remember learning to eat by yourself or to walk because we learn that in infancy, but you probably do remember learning to use a cane. Or if you have a dog, learning to work with the dog. The idea is intuitive, but the actual daily use takes some practice. As a short tip, a camera is not a laser. The optics are different. Using a laser, you scan horizontally, using a camera, you scan vertically. The practical effect of this is that you do not want to keep moving the camera across because it won't have time for its autofocus to work. Holding the camera still and moving vertically is much more likely to make the camera. This is explained in the tutorial and you are given a chance to practice on a well defined and known sample. You will find that after you do the tutorials, scanning is much easier. If you have not previously used a scanning system, you will find it very useful to read the tutorial on where to find barcodes. Other people here can probably offer tips as well. But staring with the tutorials is a good one! On Tuesday, May 8, 2012 4:48:53 AM UTC-5, Kawal wrote: Hello Nancy.

Re: finding bar codes
Thank you very much Nancy! - Original Message - From: Nancy M To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, May 08, 2012 10:21 AM Subject: Re: finding bar codes Here is a tutorial that we wrote about where the codes are: http://www.digit-eyes.com/cgi-bin/digiteyes.fcgi?action=scanningTips It would be great if they were consistent, but they are not. They are nicely put where people won't find them, but grocery store scanners will. Given that the scanners are no more than 6 inches tall and scan the bottom, back and sides of the item, you can pretty much bet they will be there. One of the things we do recommend doing is to print up a bunch of labels every time you do your shopping and put the purchase date on them (bought May 8, 2012). While you are unpacking the groceries, scan the item and put the date label close to where the manufacturer's UPC or EAN label is. Then when you go to scan again, you'll have a tactile indicator of where the code is and it becomes very simple to find.

Re: Finding Bar Codes
This is a very good question~ Some bottles have codes and some do not. If you ever want to confirm, you can send us an image of what you are scanning. Just tap the link at the bottom of the scanning screen titled 'send picture' and it will format a mail to us that contains a picture. You can add a note with a question like does this item even HAVE a barcode? and we will have someone get back to you and let you know. If it is something with two sides like a round bottle with a label that goes all round it, please try to send images of both sides. We do have a lot of codes (26,195,585 as of this writing), but we won't have everything. I see we just added an expandamonium flexfit hat, whatever that may be .. but we won't necessarily have all local codes. The database does, however, grow with time and it is designed to grow in direct relationship to its usage. Digit-Eyes is (in part) a search engine that specializes in UPC and EAN codes. We get our information in the same way that Google or any other search engine does -- we have special computer programs (sometimes called bots or spiders) that crawl the world wide web and get information from manufacturer's and retailer's websites. This information includes UPC / EAN codes and is used to provide the results to people who scan and to provide links to the original sources so that you can find out more about the product. We have about a 95% hit rate for new users who are just starting up, which sounds great (and is many time more than other products). But it still means that about 1 in 20 items won't be found. When this occurs, two things happen: 1. You are given a chance to enter the name of the product if you know it. This is immediately added to the database and becomes available to you and all other users. Sometime later that day, added content will be checked by our staff and the number added to the list of codes to be searched for additional information by our spiders. Having the title of the item is useful and will improve the probability of obtaining page links that you'll be able to access later. 2. All failed codes go into a special high-priority search queue that is used to direct the spiders to look for information about that code. When the information is found, it is added to the database so it is ready for you next time you scan the item. The practical effect of this is that it is fairly common that find within 24 hours or so that the code that was previously not found is now in the database. And because the database is online and dynamic, it means that the more you scan, the more likely the system is to find things in your area of the country and the fewer things you will have that won't be found. So in the case of Orb's pizza, when you scan one and it is not found, add the name. That way it will be there next time you scan. Meanwhile, the spiders will be looking for nutritional information, ingredients, and other links that will be of use to you next time you have one. There are cases where nothing will be found because the item is simply not listed on the Internet. And there are times when we won't be able to get extended information for the same reason. But there are many MANY cases where it will be found and where data provided to you will become more useful and richer over time.
