It will read the label. However, you may need to reposition the can to get allo the contents, and take another picture. The description is not perfect, but you will at least have an idea of what is in the can. -Original Message- From: Norene Trappa via Talk Sent: Thursday, November 23

Touch screens are easy to use. And if your ipod is 3 or 4 years old its camera probably is not good enough for knfb reader. You need a new one. A new ipod touch 6th gen. Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: Butch Bussen Sent: Thursday, November 23, 2017 14:08 To: Josh Kennedy Cc: Josh Kennedy
