The makers of digit eyes give wonderful clues to where to look in their help section. Here are some things I learned form them and just using the app.
Cans and bottles, the barcode is usually at the bottm of the item. I turn my iphone upside down remembering this changes where the camera is, and set the iphone and can/bottle on the table with both vertical about 4 inches apart. I slowly turn with the clicks, and I find it easily. Boxes are usually on the bottom of large boxes. On smaller boxes like hot chocolate mix are on the sides. Packages like cheese and usually on the seam side towards the top right hand side. You might have to turn the item around since knowing upper right is relative to which way the cheese is turned. Packages of cookies the barcode is usualy on the side. Bags are on the seam side near the bottom. The one that I worked at and could not find was dish soap for putting on our grocery list, and my husband had to show me where, because it was kinda of in the middle of the label on the back--as digiteye help said it would be on the back label, but it was in a middlish place. Hang in there I love this app, and bought it a while back and use it a lot.

I have been able to scan a couple of items but only with my sighted wife's help guiding me me to where the barcode is located on the item. What is the secret to finding the barcode without sighted assistance. I have had the app for only a few hours, but right now it is quite frustrating. I'm confident it will get better smiles. I using the iPhone 4S. Thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
