You can also use the documents channel for seeing AI to scan directions. It will seem to be a bit disjointed, but if you are patient and listen to it, you will be able to figure that out.

RE: how do I use seeing AI to read me a barcode?, am having trouble
The creator of Seeing AI recommends that once you have an idea what part of the package the bar code is located, you start with the camera 8 or 10 inches away and slowly move closer. If the bar card is there, it will start making a sound. Or, while holding the camera about 8 to 10 inches away and if you are sure it is pointed to the package, start rotating the package slowly, you should hear something and when you do stop moving the package and slowly bring the camera closer. The main tips for bar codes that I know are: 1. on cans, it is usually near the seam in the label on the middle to lower portion of the can. 2. ON packages that are plastic bags, like chocolate chips, it is also by the seam and you just have to move back and forth until you find it. 3. ON boxes, it is usually on the bottom again near the seam, but not always. For example, Lean Cuisine frozen meals the bar code is on the back near a corner, where no seam exists. You can tell it’s the back because the flaps that are glued down has the edge toward the bottom. 4. On some soda cans, there are no labels, so you are on your own to just rotate the can until you find it. Or, as someone else said, use the Short Text feature and read the label. Though, sometimes, there is good extra information included in the bar code. Richard Ralph's Observation: It is a mistake to allow any mechanical object<>to realize that you are in a hurry.

how do I use seeing AI to read me a barcode?, am having trouble
Hi to all. I heard that seeing AI can recognize barcodes. I've been trying to use this feature of the app, and I'm not having much luck. I bring up the product channel and I put the can I want on the counter of our kitchen and I make sure the light is on. I then hold my phone away from the can and I turn the can. I don't hear any beeps or anything. I saw the tutorial video where this is supposed to happen. I even tried it with a box of cereal and still no luck. -- Joshua Hendrickson Joshua Hendrickson -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
