Re: Red Laser Problem

Hi Ed,
I've experienced the same problem, and I've stopped using the app. I use 
Digit-Eyes instead.

If you have the number, you can use the Digit-Eyes UPC database without 
charge -- you can also develop your own app or website that uses it.  More 
information is at http://www.digit-eyes.com/gtin/

 Dan, 
 I wonder if you know about this? At the bottom of the results screen of 
 RedLaser there are two sort of edit fields, though they are not exactly 
 edit fields, The first is called UPC, and the second, I am afraid, I have 
 forgotten. But you can paste and number in there if you wish. Anyway, the 
 implication is that there is a direct link to the UPC database, but when I 
 double tap tap UPC nothing happens. Have you found a way to do this? 
 Otherwise, one has to go to Safari put in the right address for the UPC 
 database and then choose look up and so on and so on and so on. I am just 
 wondering if there is a quicker way directly from the RedLaser app. 

 By the way, I completely agree with you when you suggest there are many 
 ways of achieving the same ends and not forget the existing technology many 
 of us (not me though) still have. By the same token, many of these camera 
 apps are actually easy to yuse, but may require a little bit of teaching 
 just to get going with them.

  I expect that some of the issues people are having with barcode 
  scanning may be due to the phone they are using.  The 5S is going to 
  do better than a 5 or 4S simply because it has more processing power 
  and better optics.  Lighting is something that is easily forgotten. 
  When I was working on the currency identification package for the old 
  Nokia phones, I was cruising along through a set of bills, testing 
  them over and over.  At some point, I was getting miss after miss. 
  The softtware just refused to identify anything which was surprising 
  because it had been doing so well.  What happened was that my wife 
  went up to bed and turned the lights off on her way upstairs. 
  
  With the advent of all these barcode or OCR options for cell phones, 
  we also cannot forget the old options of a scanner and your computer, 
  if you have that available to you.  You do not need one of the 
  adaptive options for OCR, so it can be done pretty cheaply, since most 
  scanners come with free OCR software. 
  
  I'm not saying that is an option for everyone, but we can often easily 
  forget some tricks as we learn new ones. 
  
  I had to learn this lesson when I started working on the bar code 
  scanning project.  I always assumed the bar code was on the price 
  sticker.  it isn't.  The bar code is simply printed on the label or 
  box, so you can't feel it.  If you are concentrating on the area of a 
  sticker, you are not going to find the bar code. 
  
  If a bar code scanner gives you a code, but no product description, 
  you can plug that into UPCDatabase.com and possibly find the product. 
  There are other UPC databases, UPCDatabase.com is just the one I 
  typically use. 
  
  You can even plug it into directionsForMe.org and get the cooking 
  instructions or whatever else from the product packaging. 
  
  Anyway, at least at this time, I don't believe that any one tool will 
  be a single solution for all scenarios, so I am glad there are various 
  ways to skin various cats.

Re: Red Laser

[Esther]

Hi Gary and Sandy,

I'm not sure that you'll be able to change the database of Red Laser's barcode 
IDs, for users who are outside the U.S.  The original Red Laser app and fast 
scanning recognition method was developed by Occipital, who provided the 
ability to do a general Google search on the bar code.  This was a paid app, 
but only $0.99.  Because the app was so successful, eBay purchased it, and 
released it as a free app.  For a few months after, there were two versions of 
the Red Laser app, one named Red Laser Classic that was based on the original 
Occipital release, that worked as a general purpose app, and a second that is 
the current Red Laser app, that is meant to drive the U.S. eBay related sales.

So basically this stopped being a general purpose bar code scanning app once 
eBay bought it from Occipital. I still have the loser, original Red Laser 
Classic app, and it works up through iOS 6, but it hasn't been available for 
over a year.

Hope this explanation helps.  It's not such a problem for U.S. users, but it is 
an issue for anyone using it in another country.

Cheers,

Esther

Re: red laser

So, just for fun, I decided to try out the QR code ability of Red
Laser.  I found a site to generate a QR code.  I entered the following
text:

This is a test to see if I can read plain text from a QR code using Red Laser.

I then downloaded the jpg file that was generated.  I displayed it on
my screen.  I fired up Red Laser, and before I had fully lined up the
phone with my monitor, it pingged and I could read back the text that
was embedded in the code.

This is awesome!

Rose,
Forgive me for asking, but do you have a stand scan pro or some such a light
box? This really could help you with these camera apps. I am thinking,
particularly, of your problem finding barcodes. Having the phone in a fixed
position and just moving the item inside the box is a really much easier way
of finding a bar code. I don't normally like to suggest to people to spend
out more money formore things, but in this case I feel sure you would
benefit from it. And one last point, as far as I'm aware, you never can feel
a bar code. They are merely printed impressions and are never tactile.

Good luck,

 First, be sure you have the flash on, as this seems to help a whole lot.
 Second, try different distances. My iPhone5 seems to like six to ten 
 inches away, but different cameras may need slightly different 
 distances. If possible, get an item and have someone tell you where 
 the code is, then practice scanning that so you can get a feel for 
 where the phone needs to be to get a good scan.

 hear cancel button, light off, which I assume needs to be on; multi 
 scan, switch button off, which I again assume needs to be on; then 
 it says center to barcode then tap to focus, avoid glare and shadows.
 Sounds like I really goofed this app up.

Hello again Rose,
Firstly, let me explain that I sympathise entirely with your plight, my 
husband, too, is away from home for this month and I am having to put these 
various apps through their paces to see what's available to me in the freezer 
or the larder. Now, it must be said, I am quite handy with these camera apps, 
but I set up my stand scan pro and used no skill I simply placed the object 
from the freezer inside the box and use the various apps. Below are the 
results. By the way, I could have cheated and found something that I knew 
RedLaser would recognise CamFind would see, but this was honestly the first 
thing out of the freezer and it did take several attempts before I found an app 
that would give me enough information. So here you are!
Good luck, Sandy
TextGrabber didn't do very well because the lettering on this packet is 
multicoloured and is using stylish graphics
RedLaser found the bar code but only saw it as a number and couldn't identify it
CamFind just told me Tesco's pasta
This is from Prizmo there is a lot of rubbish, which, of course, I could've 
extracted, but I wanted you to see the actual result. So please read on.

I know what you mean Rose, but I have to say this particular bit of cardboard 
can transform your access to products and written information. Perhaps, other 
people here on the list, who have bought one or something similar, could say as 
to whether they think it was worth it?

 Rose,
 Forgive me for asking, but do you have a stand scan pro or some such a light
 box? This really could help you with these camera apps. I am thinking,
 particularly, of your problem finding barcodes. Having the phone in a fixed
 position and just moving the item inside the box is a really much easier way
 of finding a bar code. I don't normally like to suggest to people to spend
 out more money formore things, but in this case I feel sure you would
 benefit from it. And one last point, as far as I'm aware, you never can feel
 a bar code. They are merely printed impressions and are never tactile.
 
 Good luck,
 Sandy

No, StandScan is no use. I have one, and it doesn't make any
difference vs. holding the iOS device above the text. Maybe useful for
those who have issues focusing the camera, though.

Yes, Rose, a lot of money to spend so you can get scans that actually work. 
Definitely not worth the expense.

Hi,
I think that the StandScan Pro is worth the money. I haven’t tried the built-in 
lamps because i have the wrong battery pack and i didn’t need them where i 
ended up mounting the Standscan. I get almost as good results with Textgrabber 
and Standscan as i do with my flat bed scanner. I only wish i could get such 
fine results with freehand text, that way it really would be awesome.

 Rose,
 Forgive me for asking, but do you have a stand scan pro or some such a light
 box? This really could help you with these camera apps. I am thinking,
 particularly, of your problem finding barcodes. Having the phone in a fixed
 position and just moving the item inside the box is a really much easier way
 of finding a bar code. I don't normally like to suggest to people to spend
 out more money formore things, but in this case I feel sure you would
 benefit from it. And one last point, as far as I'm aware, you never can feel
 a bar code. They are merely printed impressions and are never tactile.
 
 Good luck,
 Sandy

Re: red laser

[Annie Skov Nielsen]

Hi.

I love my standscan pro, it is worth the money. We can not get as good results 
with free hand, one of my problems is that the lighting here is rather bad, 
another is that my skills holding the phone in place is not very good. I can 
get really good results with standscan pro. The results I am getting without 
standscan pro is not usable for anything at all.

Best regards Annie.

Re: red laser

[Dan Rossi]

I contacted Red Laser with a couple of questions.  The responses were useful.

Firstly they do not allow for an alternative barcode database, it is
theirs, and theirs alone.  Not terribly surprising as they are
probably trying to drive merchants to register with them.  They claim
to have the largest registry around, 50 million codes.

The second response was much more interesting, and one I should have
thought of.  We have discussed how to do personal tagging of items.
Well, QR codes actualy encode text, so you can actually print your own
QR codes and tag your own items.  Then when you scan that tag, it will
read out whatever you encoded in the QR code.  This way you can use
Red Laser as a reader for personally tagged items as well as UPC
tagged items.

I am liking this more and more.

Re: red laser

[Alex Hall]

I think that was mentioned in another thread. The only thing QR codes can't do 
is be re-used, so you can't stick a tag on some leftovers, then pull it off and 
tell the app it now means something different. Instead, you'd need to print a 
new label. Don't get me wrong, Red Laser is great and I much prefer it to other 
apps of its kind, but that is one limitation I see right now. Of course, there 
may be ways around it by encoding a URL onto the code and then changing the 
text on the other end of that URL, but that is not a simple solution for some. 
Hmm, I wonder what would happen if you used Dropbox to hold text files, then 
pointed your codes to them…

Anyway, could you please tell us how you contacted Red Laser? I looked on their 
site but could not find an address. I want to thank them for their app and 
offer a few minor suggestions, such as auto-reading of the identified product 
or the option to have the flash always on. Thanks.

Re: red laser

[Dan Rossi]

Sorry, didn't remember the part of the thread about using QR codes for
personalized tagging.  You are correct though, since the tag is
essentially the text, you would have to print a different tag for any
specific text you wanted encoded.  I really like your idea of using a
URL and changing the text files on the back end.  Very creative.

Anyway, to contact Red Laser, I went to their site, RedLaser.com,
clicked on support, and at the very bottom is an email Us link.  I had
to use Fire Fox since there was a CAPTCHA.  They had an audio CAPTCHA,
but it was impossible for me to understand.  They also tried to make
me read some articles related to my question, but you can force it to
submit your question anyway.

I also thanked them for a useful app, and one that was pretty much
accessible out of the box.  Miles, who seems to answer all of their
questions on their support site, was helpful and appreciative.

RE: red laser

[Rose Combs]

Well, I tried Red Laser, Cam Find, Digit Eyes, Text Grabber, and Talking
Goggles yesterday trying to identify a frozen dinner.  Not one worked, and I
have to guess this was an off brand, sure tasted like it but for the life of
me, even after cooking it I don't really know what I actually had to eat.
Tasted like scalloped potatoes and some sort of meat in a super sweet sauce,
not something I would have bought.  Goggles did say once chic but nothing
else seemed to work no matter how a turned the box and my fingers seemed to
feel a bar code on one end but nada from any app on my phone.  

I like surprises but not necessarily in frozen dinners.  

Husband in the hospital and when he last got food just stuffed in in the
freezer any which way, not a bit of organization which is making it
difficult for me.  I see boxes of all sizes and unless I open them, and
sometimes even then, I seem to have no clue what I am getting.  

Same with canned stuff, he just can't seem to understand organization is
necessary.

 First, be sure you have the flash on, as this seems to help a whole lot.
 Second, try different distances. My iPhone5 seems to like six to ten 
 inches away, but different cameras may need slightly different 
 distances. If possible, get an item and have someone tell you where 
 the code is, then practice scanning that so you can get a feel for 
 where the phone needs to be to get a good scan.

Re: red laser

[Sandratomkins]

Rose,
Forgive me for asking, but do you have a stand scan pro or some such a light 
box? This really could help you with these camera apps. I am thinking, 
particularly, of your problem finding barcodes. Having the phone in a fixed 
position and just moving the item inside the box is a really much easier way of 
finding a bar code. I don't normally like to suggest to people to spend out 
more money formore things, but in this case I feel sure you would benefit from 
it. And one last point, as far as I'm aware, you never can feel a bar code. 
They are merely printed impressions and are never tactile.

Good luck,
Sandy

Re: red laser

[Sandratomkins]

Hello again Rose,
Firstly, let me explain that I sympathise entirely with your plight, my 
husband, too, is away from home for this month and I am having to put these 
various apps through their paces to see what's available to me in the freezer 
or the larder. Now, it must be said, I am quite handy with these camera apps, 
but I set up my stand scan pro and used no skill I simply placed the object 
from the freezer inside the box and use the various apps. Below are the 
results. By the way, I could have cheated and found something that I knew 
RedLaser would recognise CamFind would see, but this was honestly the first 
thing out of the freezer and it did take several attempts before I found an app 
that would give me enough information. So here you are!
Good luck, Sandy
TextGrabber didn't do very well because the lettering on this packet is 
multicoloured and is using stylish graphics
RedLaser found the bar code but only saw it as a number and couldn't identify it
CamFind just told me Tesco's pasta
This is from Prizmo there is a lot of rubbish, which, of course, I could've 
extracted, but I wanted you to see the actual result. So please read on.

Re: red laser

[Dan Rossi]

I expect that some of the issues people are having with barcode
scanning may be due to the phone they are using.  The 5S is going to
do better than a 5 or 4S simply because it has more processing power
and better optics.  Lighting is something that is easily forgotten.
When I was working on the currency identification package for the old
Nokia phones, I was cruising along through a set of bills, testing
them over and over.  At some point, I was getting miss after miss.
The softtware just refused to identify anything which was surprising
because it had been doing so well.  What happened was that my wife
went up to bed and turned the lights off on her way upstairs.

With the advent of all these barcode or OCR options for cell phones,
we also cannot forget the old options of a scanner and your computer,
if you have that available to you.  You do not need one of the
adaptive options for OCR, so it can be done pretty cheaply, since most
scanners come with free OCR software.

I'm not saying that is an option for everyone, but we can often easily
forget some tricks as we learn new ones.

I had to learn this lesson when I started working on the bar code
scanning project.  I always assumed the bar code was on the price
sticker.  it isn't.  The bar code is simply printed on the label or
box, so you can't feel it.  If you are concentrating on the area of a
sticker, you are not going to find the bar code.

If a bar code scanner gives you a code, but no product description,
you can plug that into UPCDatabase.com and possibly find the product.
There are other UPC databases, UPCDatabase.com is just the one I
typically use.

You can even plug it into directionsForMe.org and get the cooking
instructions or whatever else from the product packaging.

Anyway, at least at this time, I don't believe that any one tool will
be a single solution for all scenarios, so I am glad there are various
ways to skin various cats.

Re: red laser

[Sandratomkins]

Dan,
I wonder if you know about this? At the bottom of the results screen of 
RedLaser there are two sort of edit fields, though they are not exactly edit 
fields, The first is called UPC, and the second, I am afraid, I have forgotten. 
But you can paste and number in there if you wish. Anyway, the implication is 
that there is a direct link to the UPC database, but when I double tap tap UPC 
nothing happens. Have you found a way to do this? Otherwise, one has to go to 
Safari put in the right address for the UPC database and then choose look up 
and so on and so on and so on. I am just wondering if there is a quicker way 
directly from the RedLaser app.

By the way, I completely agree with you when you suggest there are many ways of 
achieving the same ends and not forget the existing technology many of us (not 
me though) still have. By the same token, many of these camera apps are 
actually easy to yuse, but may require a little bit of teaching just to get 
going with them.
Jmt,
Sandy

Re: red laser

[Annie Skov Nielsen]

Hi.

I am impressed with redlaser on an IPhone 5s, I have never scanned barcodes 
that fast. For me it is really an issue with redlaser, I have to copy the 
barcode number, and go to the phones search field, and then press safari and 
when I have the result.

I do not understand why redlaser is so much better than other barcode readers, 
this is amazing. Why can the very expensive digit-eyes not be developed and 
optimized, so that it is just as fast.

Best regards Annie.

Re: red laser

[Gmail]

My results when scanning a box of cake mix using Kurzweil was less than 
satisfactory. I got weird symbols for most of the numbers, rendering the 
cooking directions useless. So, scanning a box may be helpful in some 
instances, but I wasn't satisfied with the results I got. I even flattened the 
box out after removing the package of mix to see if that would improve things, 
and it didn't really help any.

I'm glad to know about the UPC code database. I'll probably be adding a 
shortcut for that to my home screen.


Thanks,
Ari

 I expect that some of the issues people are having with barcode
 scanning may be due to the phone they are using.  The 5S is going to
 do better than a 5 or 4S simply because it has more processing power
 and better optics.  Lighting is something that is easily forgotten.
 When I was working on the currency identification package for the old
 Nokia phones, I was cruising along through a set of bills, testing
 them over and over.  At some point, I was getting miss after miss.
 The softtware just refused to identify anything which was surprising
 because it had been doing so well.  What happened was that my wife
 went up to bed and turned the lights off on her way upstairs.
 
 With the advent of all these barcode or OCR options for cell phones,
 we also cannot forget the old options of a scanner and your computer,
 if you have that available to you.  You do not need one of the
 adaptive options for OCR, so it can be done pretty cheaply, since most
 scanners come with free OCR software.
 
 I'm not saying that is an option for everyone, but we can often easily
 forget some tricks as we learn new ones.
 
 I had to learn this lesson when I started working on the bar code
 scanning project.  I always assumed the bar code was on the price
 sticker.  it isn't.  The bar code is simply printed on the label or
 box, so you can't feel it.  If you are concentrating on the area of a
 sticker, you are not going to find the bar code.
 
 If a bar code scanner gives you a code, but no product description,
 you can plug that into UPCDatabase.com and possibly find the product.
 There are other UPC databases, UPCDatabase.com is just the one I
 typically use.
 
 You can even plug it into directionsForMe.org and get the cooking
 instructions or whatever else from the product packaging.
 
 Anyway, at least at this time, I don't believe that any one tool will
 be a single solution for all scenarios, so I am glad there are various
 ways to skin various cats.

Re: red laser

[Alex Hall]

If the app is showing the code on the screen, you can just have voiceover speak 
it, and then tap three fingers four times to copy it to the pasteboard. You can 
then paste that into the edit box on the website. This does require iOS seven 
or later.

Re: red laser

[Lea Langley]

Hi Dan and all, thank you very much for that link to the database. That will be 
so helpful because I could only get RedLaser to read the barcodes but I 
couldn't always get information thank you so much for that information. I was 
looking for an app that I could use on my iPhone encase I did not have my ID 
mate summit with me and wanted to scan something thank you again God bless Wren

 Anyhow, be careful you don't turn this on and leave it on as it would

 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.

Re: red laser

[Alex Hall]

You are right for the system flash, but the light in this app is different. I 
mean, it still enables the LED, but it is within the app itself. In the top 
right of the screen, just below the status bar, is a control called light 
off. Double tap that to turn the light on or off. It turns off after a 
successfull scan, so you'll have to turn it back on when you start each new 
scan if the lighting is bad where you are. Even in good light, though, I find 
the flash to give better results.

The app will beep, and vo will either announce a back button, or, much less

that the flash will also turn off.

RE: red laser

I can't get red laser to work at all. Having trouble trying to use it on a
box of minute rice, no luck. Never get any tones indicating I have found a
barcode or anything and I scanned the top and bottom and sides of the box
even the corners.
No luck!

RE: red laser

[Jerry MAder]

Where can I find a bar code, or qr code on say, a bottle of flavored
creamer? I want to see if Red laser picks it up. DO I move the phone around
to find the code or move the bottle keeping the phone steady?
Thanks
Jerry Mader

Actually, you're in the right place. I don't know what multi scan is, so I
leave it off, but now your phone is looking for a code. Just show it a bar
code and you should be off and running.

Re: red laser

[Eileen Misrahi]

Hello, 

I played around with Red Laser yesterday. It's important to have good lighting. 
I know it has been suggested in this topic to turn on the light within REd 
Laser. This is located in the upper right hand corner, just under the battery 
percentage. Locating the barcode seems to be problematic at times even with 
comparing it with Digit-Eyes. Sometimes, when you think the barcode should be 
in the logical place it isn't. I don't know what kinds of things you are trying 
to barcode, but when I am dealing with cans, I place a rolled towel in front 
and in the back to stabilize it and move the can instead of the phone. This way 
I can keep two hands on the phone making sure that it is straight in the 
horizontal plane. HTH.

Re: red laser

[Alex Hall]

First, be sure you have the flash on, as this seems to help a whole lot. 
Second, try different distances. My iPhone5 seems to like six to ten inches 
away, but different cameras may need slightly different distances. If possible, 
get an item and have someone tell you where the code is, then practice scanning 
that so you can get a feel for where the phone needs to be to get a good scan.

Re: red laser

[Alex Hall]

Yes, it is a serious question. Often, holding a jar, can, or other round and 
relatively small object about eight or 10 inches from the camera and slowly 
rotating it is enough to find the code. For boxes, the code generally seems to 
be near in edge or corner; I don't think I have ever seen one in the middle of 
a package. On pasta boxes, at least where I live, the code is on one of the 
thin edges. It all depends on the item and the packaging, but once you get used 
to wear a coat is on a particular item or type of item, things should get a bit 
easier. Also, the Digit Eyes website has some scanning tips for their own app, 
but those tips should be quite applicable to Red laser as well.

 hi all, I got RedLaser this morning, but how do you find a barcode when you 
 don't know where one is? I'm not trying to be a smart mouth it's a very 
 serious question. It says center the barcode then tap to focus well if you 
 don't know where the code is how do you find it? I am by myself and don't 
 have cited help very much. Thank you for any and all help. God bless, Wren

 Actually, you're in the right place. I don't know what multi scan is, so I
 leave it off, but now your phone is looking for a code. Just show it a bar
 code and you should be off and running.

Re: red laser

[Lea Langley]

Hi, thank you for the response. Now when you say on the back of the product if 
it is a box, is it the big part of the box, is it near the corner of a box, or 
exactly where perhaps in the middle? I am sorry for so many questions but I 
really could not get it to work and I tried and tried. Thank you so much for 
all of your help and for your patience. God bless, Wren

Re: red laser

[Alex Hall]

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.

Re: red laser

[John Diakogeorgiou]

On a lot of cans the code is near the edge of the label. If there are
two labels its usually on the small one. On some boxes its on the
bottom of the box. I think I also read that its usually near the
bottom of an object because the scanners at stores are only four
inches high. With all that said, I am not having a lot of success with
the app either.

RE: red laser

[Wayne gmail]

Today we were unpacking stuff we had bought at Sam's and we came across a
large plastic jar which were a bit unsure of.  I scanned it with the Id
Mate Summit and it said item not found.  I decided to try Red Laser and
easily found the bar code.  It immediately recognized it as maraschino
cherries and told me of a place where it was on sale.  
  I am a little puzzled about the flash though.  How does one turn it on.  I
saw a post describing a place near the top right of the screen but I can't
find it.  Is that a switch within Red Laser or a system level switch.  Could
Siri turn it on?

One thing to remember, a lot of time the bar code is on the bottom of a box. 
They are usually placed so that the cashier does not have to work to get the 
scanner to find and recognize it.  It really just takes some experimentation 
to learn to find them.

Hi, thank you for the response. Now when you say on the back of the product 
if it is a box, is it the big part of the box, is it near the corner of a

Hi Harry,

What you describe is a Flashlight and it basically turns on the iPhones LED
Flash permanently, well, until you turn it off again anyways, and it is
meant as an emergency flashlight for sighted people. Like maybe somebody
drops something in the dark as they walk along and they of course are not
likely to have a flashlight along, but most people would have their phone.
Anyhow, be careful you don't turn this on and leave it on as it would
seriously suck battery.

 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.

Thanks for posting this.  I had a similar experience on two out of 5 scans
last night after I had installed the app.  Very strange but it did a great
job with the other three. 
  It isn't much harder to find the scan code with this than with my ID Mate
Summit.  My wife says that this is great but she doesn't plan to use it over
the Summit.  I'll probably do the same when convenient but gladly use the
Red Laser when I need to.  I'm not particularly worried about how much data
the big E will collect on me.

Re: red laser and papa sangre II with syncing and wifi

[Alex Hall]

Red Laser will work with wifi or cellular. It needs an internet connection, so 
the only advantage to an iPhone here is that you can do lookups in places you 
don't have wifi, like a store.

To get an app you already bought, just go to App Store, Updates, Purchased 
Apps. Here you will see, and can download all apps you have bought from any of 
your devices. Once installed, if the app developer supports it, data will sync 
between the two apps. Again, this is optional and some apps do not support the 
feature, meaning that the copy on your iPad will not sync settings or content 
with the copy on your iPhone or iPod. Re-downloading a purchased app, though, 
or restoring an in-app purchase, is always free.

Re: red laser

[Sandratomkins]

Hi,
Practising with the back side of CD cases is a very good way to start. 
Similarly, the back outside cover of a paperback will render results. Lastly, 
something such as the stand scan pro will definitely make things easier as you 
can position the phone on the top and then slowly move your item within the 
view of the camera inside the box. I find this particularly useful when I want 
to find the barcode on something cylindrical such as a tin or a bottle or a jar.

As for using the app: I wouldn't complicated, I wouldn't have multiscan is 
turned on and neither would I play with navigation or history, I would just 
double tap the scan button on the top right, search around for the code, and 
then wait till I hear a sound that indicates that the barcode has been found. 
Then just wait a little longer for the recognition to happen.
Sandy

I installed and played with it last night. It's difficult to use but
doable. I think that with practice it can only get better.

Re: red laser

[Eileens Misrahi]

Hello All,

I want to make this point no matter which barcode scanner one will use on the 
phone. An understanding on where one would look for a barcode on different 
products is essential to be successful. I haven't had a chance to play with Red 
Laser yet, I'm very profficient in using Digit-Eyes. I know that on Digit-Eyes 
website, there is a link discussing barcode placement on various products. This 
may give one a better understanding on where to start. 

Now, I will tell you about some differences between the two apps. With 
Digit-Eyes, one can print out their own labels to use with many purposes. For 
me, my work entails generating files and paperwork that I need to keep. So, 
this feature is necessary for me. Also, one can purchase laundry labels that 
are waterproof, which can be affixed to the labels on clothing or kitchen 
containers that are reusable. I just wanted to point these differences out, so 
if one needs the ability to create labels that DigitEYES has this feature. HTH.

Best,
Eileen

Re: red laser

[Alex Hall]

Indeed, Digit Eyes can do custom labels, which is nice. For bar code scanning, 
though, it is absolutely terrible in comparison to Red Laser, at least on my 
phone. I have found that Red Laser works much better if you enable the flash, 
so devices that lack a flash may have difficulty, but overall it works 
indescribably better. I have never used Digit eyes for clothing or other 
labels, but that eventual use is the only reason the app is still on my phone. 
That said, my understanding is that the Digit Eyes labels are nothing more than 
QR codes, which have their text encoded locally. That means that, in theory, 
Red Laser can scan these codes just as easily. If someone with both apps could 
confirm this, I'd appreciate it. I don't currently have anything on which to 
print these labels.

 you are loading the wrong app?

Re: red laser

[Annie Skov Nielsen]

Hi Alex.

My problem with redlaser is that it here in Denmark have many difficulties to 
find the items, and it is not that easy to search on google or simply to copy 
the barcode and go to safari. But redlaser works as a dream in comparison with 
digit-eyes.

Best regards Annie.

 Indeed, Digit Eyes can do custom labels, which is nice. For bar code 
 scanning, though, it is absolutely terrible in comparison to Red Laser, at 
 least on my phone. I have found that Red Laser works much better if you 
 enable the flash, so devices that lack a flash may have difficulty, but 
 overall it works indescribably better. I have never used Digit eyes for 
 clothing or other labels, but that eventual use is the only reason the app is 
 still on my phone. That said, my understanding is that the Digit Eyes labels 
 are nothing more than QR codes, which have their text encoded locally. That 
 means that, in theory, Red Laser can scan these codes just as easily. If 
 someone with both apps could confirm this, I'd appreciate it. I don't 
 currently have anything on which to print these labels.

 Hello All,
 
 I want to make this point no matter which barcode scanner one will use on 
 the phone. An understanding on where one would look for a barcode on 
 different products is essential to be successful. I haven't had a chance to 
 play with Red Laser yet, I'm very profficient in using Digit-Eyes. I know 
 that on Digit-Eyes website, there is a link discussing barcode placement on 
 various products. This may give one a better understanding on where to 
 start. 
 
 Now, I will tell you about some differences between the two apps. With 
 Digit-Eyes, one can print out their own labels to use with many purposes. 
 For me, my work entails generating files and paperwork that I need to keep. 
 So, this feature is necessary for me. Also, one can purchase laundry labels 
 that are waterproof, which can be affixed to the labels on clothing or 
 kitchen containers that are reusable. I just wanted to point these 
 differences out, so if one needs the ability to create labels that DigitEYES 
 has this feature. HTH.
 
 Best,
 Eileen

 Hi,
 Practising with the back side of CD cases is a very good way to start. 
 Similarly, the back outside cover of a paperback will render results. 
 Lastly, something such as the stand scan pro will definitely make things 
 easier as you can position the phone on the top and then slowly move your 
 item within the view of the camera inside the box. I find this 
 particularly useful when I want to find the barcode on something 
 cylindrical such as a tin or a bottle or a jar.
 
 As for using the app: I wouldn't complicated, I wouldn't have multiscan is 
 turned on and neither would I play with navigation or history, I would 
 just double tap the scan button on the top right, search around for the 
 code, and then wait till I hear a sound that indicates that the barcode 
 has been found. Then just wait a little longer for the recognition to 
 happen.

Re: red laser

[Gmail]

I'm not as impressed with Redlaser as I had hoped to be. I scanned a package of 
dried mango from Trader Joe's, and all it told me was that a it was a Honeywell 
product. I don't know if that was acually on the package or not, but it 
definitely didn't tell me that it was dried mango.

I'll have to try scanning some other products soon and see if I get better 
results.


Thanks,
Ari

 It is always scanning, you don't need to take a picture. That's the beauty of 
 apps like this, you need only move the item until the camera picks up the 
 code and then it beeps and there you go. I've found that holding the item 
 about ten to twelve inches (at a guess) away works best, but smaller items 
 like spice jars seem to work just as well if held closer. I'm still super 
 impressed with this app - it picked up codes on things I've never been able 
 to identify before, so I can finally know which spices are which or if that 
 can holds what I think it does.

Hi,
Practising with the back side of CD cases is a very good way to start. 
Similarly, the back outside cover of a paperback will render results. 
Lastly, something such as the stand scan pro will definitely make things 
easier as you can position the phone on the top and then slowly move your 
item within the view of the camera inside the box. I find this 
particularly useful when I want to find the barcode on something 
cylindrical such as a tin or a bottle or a jar.


As for using the app: I wouldn't complicated, I wouldn't have multiscan is 
turned on and neither would I play with navigation or history, I would 
just double tap the scan button on the top right, search around for the 
code, and then wait till I hear a sound that indicates that the barcode 
has been found. Then just wait a little longer for the recognition to 
happen.

a few seconds. which I just did; now it says home, search, scan, 
favorites, lists, history, qr codes, store alerts, settings and a bout

If I go into scan which by the way none of these options say button; I 
hear cancel button, light off, which I assume needs to be on; multi 
scan, switch button off, which I again assume needs to be on; then it 
says center to barcode then tap to focus, avoid glare and shadows.

Sounds like I really goofed this app up.

Re: red laser

[Alex Hall]

It is always scanning, you don't need to take a picture. That's the beauty of 
apps like this, you need only move the item until the camera picks up the code 
and then it beeps and there you go. I've found that holding the item about ten 
to twelve inches (at a guess) away works best, but smaller items like spice 
jars seem to work just as well if held closer. I'm still super impressed with 
this app - it picked up codes on things I've never been able to identify 
before, so I can finally know which spices are which or if that can holds what 
I think it does.

Re: red laser

[Alex Hall]

I'd start with an item on which you know where the code is. Then, just hold it 
six inches away from the camera and move it further and further. Move slowly 
and remember to keep the camera pointed at the object. Remember that it is not 
an image identifier, but rather a bar and qr code scanner, so it will work on 
items with codes but not on anything else.

Okay,
Are you a double tapping on the scan button at the top right of the screen? You 
have to double tap that scan button before your phone will start to look for a

RE: red laser

[Pinky]

Patti,

You have to click on the scan button then hold your phone about ten inches
away and move it around very slowly until you hear the beep.  Then if it
doesn't  say anything you might have to touch the middle of the screen.
That work for me on my IPad.

Re: red laser

[Patti Johnson]

No, it's red Laser, it talks about adding favorite store, sounds are on, 
cards, cscan, more nearby stores, back it  up, top coupons, etc, in the 
home screen.  whem I tap on the navigation button it seems to take a few 
seconds. which I just did; now it says home, search, scan, favorites, 
lists, history, qr codes, store alerts, settings and a bout inhelp.
If I go into scan which by the way none of these options say button; I 
hear cancel button, light off, which I assume needs to be on; multi 
scan, switch button off, which I again assume needs to be on; then it 
says center to barcode then tap to focus, avoid glare and shadows.

Sounds like I really goofed this app up.

Re: red laser

Actually, you're in the right place. I don't know what multi scan is, so I 
leave it off, but now your phone is looking for a code. Just show it a bar code 
and you should be off and running.

Re: red laser

[Traci]

Hi, I like this app.

At the bottom of the window are tabs, I believe it is the 2nd or 3rd tab that 
says scan.  Double tap this then hold your phone over the item you wish to 
scan.  It helps if you have a general idea where the barcode is, the app scans 
it without any further interaction from you.  It may beep once scanned, I can't 
remember.

Your results show up with in the first few lines of the page.
