Re: Bluetooth Barcode Scanners and Digit-Eyes

2014-06-11 Thread Mike Busboom
Hi, Erik,

It is great to know that Digit-Eyes developers realised that some people would 
prefer using a barcode scanner as opposed to the iPhone camera.  To your 
knowledge, can this scanner be successfully used for other purposes, or is it 
strictly limited to barcode scanning applications?

Your input has been very helpful to me; thank you!

Mike

 Hi Mike,  It's as I said.  The kdc is fully intergrated with digit-eyes.  
 Once pared it beeps the bar codes and instantly finds the information

 Most other bar code readers act as a HID device.  That means the I device 
 treats them as a bluetooth keyboard.  The digit-eyes web site can use them, 
 but HID devices are not intergrated into the digit-eyes app.
 
 I have only one issue with the kdc and that is it frequently has to be 
 repared with the I device. I had planned to work on this, but I haven't had 
 the time and now I'm going to lose access to the equipment.

 Hi Mike,
 
 The one you need is the kiamtac kdc410I.  You can have it on amazon for 
 about 330 bucks.  There are two versions of this scanner.  Make sure you get 
 the I version.  The standard version pares with the iphone, but only as a 
 HID device.  Essentially it acts like a keyboard and that is it.  The I 
 version is fully intergrated with digit-eyes.  They are the same price too.
 
 I have a sheet here that lets you adjust the scan time which I can send you 
 once you have your kdc.  Default is two seconds and for me, I've found that 
 I need a bit mor time than that usually.

Re: Bluetooth Barcode Scanners and Digit-Eyes

2014-06-11 Thread erik burggraaf
Hi again Mike,

The kdc is only for scanning bar codes.  It has a laser scanner that is 
exclusively for that purpose.

For OCR applications such as sorting mail, there are three good products, the 
standscan, the justscan, and the scan doc.  I can tell you a bit about some of 
these in another thread if you are interested.

Best,

Bluetooth Barcode Scanners and Digit-Eyes

Hi.

Sometimes when I use Digit-Eyes, it takes me forever to find the barcode.  For 
me, this greatly reduces the utility of a program that I think is really good.

I have been looking at bluetooth barcode scanners, but I haven't purchased 
anything yet.

Any thoughts?

Re: Bluetooth Barcode Scanners and Digit-Eyes

2014-06-10 Thread Mike Busboom
Thank you for supplying this link, Isaac.  Have you used this particular 
scanner with Digit-Eyes and if so, how well does it work?  

I guess what I am really asking is if it is possible, in principle, to use such 
scanners with Digit-Eyes.

On a similar subject, is it possible to use such devices with other 
blindness-related apps such as TapTapSee as well.

Thanks, 

Mike

Re: Bluetooth Barcode Scanners and Digit-Eyes

2014-06-10 Thread Eugenia Firth
Hi there
I like Digit-Eyes, but I have found that for some things TapTapSee works 
better. For example, if I just want to find out what's in a can of food, or 
even a package, I found the TapTapSee is faster. Would this work for your 
friend? That would allow him to be a lot more flexible insofar as accuracy is 
concerned. Then he could just put the camera over whatever he wanted to know 
about.
Sincerely,
Gigi

Re: Bluetooth Barcode Scanners and Digit-Eyes

2014-06-10 Thread erik burggraaf
Hi Mike,  It's as I said.  The kdc is fully intergrated with digit-eyes.  Once 
pared it beeps the bar codes and instantly finds the information directly in 
digit-eyes.

Most other bar code readers act as a HID device.  That means the I device 
treats them as a bluetooth keyboard.  The digit-eyes web site can use them, but 
HID devices are not intergrated into the digit-eyes app.

I have only one issue with the kdc and that is it frequently has to be repared 
with the I device. I had planned to work on this, but I haven't had the time 
and now I'm going to lose access to the equipment.

Best,

 What makes this scanner the one to buy? I have a friend that lives by himself 
 and he wants a Bluetooth scanner. He is 75 or there about and his dexterity 
 isn't the best so I need some good info before I talk to him about this.

 Hi Mike,
 
 The one you need is the kiamtac kdc410I.  You can have it on amazon for about 
 330 bucks.  There are two versions of this scanner.  Make sure you get the I 
 version.  The standard version pares with the iphone, but only as a HID 
 device.  Essentially it acts like a keyboard and that is it.  The I version 
 is fully intergrated with digit-eyes.  They are the same price too.
 
 I have a sheet here that lets you adjust the scan time which I can send you 
 once you have your kdc.  Default is two seconds and for me, I've found that I 
 need a bit mor time than that usually.
 
 Best,

 Hi.
 
 Sometimes when I use Digit-Eyes, it takes me forever to find the barcode.  
 For me, this greatly reduces the utility of a program that I think is really 
 good.
 
 I have been looking at bluetooth barcode scanners, but I haven't purchased 
 anything yet.
 
 Any thoughts?
 
 Kindest regards and thanks in advance,
 
 Mike
