I like Red Laser the most, but Digit Eyes will do the job as well. I have found that Red Laser scans more easily, but that's just me.
Remember that iPhones are not bar code scanners. I know it sounds obvious, but it really does matter; scanners use lasers and other special components to pick up on bar codes, making them far easier to use for this task. Phones are running real-time video processing as they look to see if a code is anywhere in the camera's view, and are thus less apt to pick up a code with the ease of a dedicated scanner. They can do it, but it may take more time and patience than you're used to now. I'd get some items together, the locations of whose codes you already know, and practice. Once you get the feel for it, it gets easier, but it will not be as smooth as the USB scanner, I imagine. > On Apr 12, 2015, at 12:32 PM, Robert Spangler <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Hello: > > Currently, I use a barcode scanner that connects to my computer via USB and > uses bcscan.com.
