Sandra! I have been convinced, for many years, that I share my small part of
the world with a supernatural entity and when taking photos the other night
of the cat, the dog and anything else that the camera lens picked up, there was
one with the everpresent dog in the foreground, but, standing behind him was
"a person in short pants".
Well, to the best of my knowledge, the dog, the cat and the Jewel are the only
sentient beings in the house, so was the person in short pants standing behind
the everpresent hound the energy who glories in the, rather, prosaic name of
Fred?
SPOOKY ain't it?

Subject: Re: Bar Code Reader App??
Hi Jewel,
I loved your "fur carpet"! I think we are entering the world of the
euphemism, when we use these recognition Apps. I, for example, often use
CamFind, especially as a colour recogniser. When CamFind tells me that the
carpet is blue with a black and white celtic design, I am happy, but when it
says "antique carpet", I know it is time for a shampoo!
When the same app looks at a charcoal drawing of me, it says 'portrait, in
charcoal, of a woman", but when I take a shot of my partner it says "blue
sports shirt!" am I living with the invisible man? Perhaps, so....
From one living in a virtual world, Sandy.

For those trying to use Digit-Eyes Lite, please read the descriptions below.
First is the description of Digit-Eyes Lite from the app store, followed by the
description of Digit-Eyes Full Version.
If you then have questions, give a shout out.
Digit-Eyes lite description
Digit-Eyes Lite allows you to read Digit-Eyes QR (Quick-Response) text bar
code labels. It can be upgraded to read UPC / EAN labels as well. You can
make and read your own labels, too! Using the Digit-Eyes website, you'll be
able to create a PDF file of Digit-Eyes QR bar codes that each contain up to
250 characters of text. These codes are useful for labeling items where the
content is not expected to change. You can create labels to identify clothing,
CDs, canning, moving boxes, important documents, appliance settings and more.
Using the printer attached to your computer, you can print the PDF of these
codes on inexpensive address labels and affix the labels to items that you want
to identify.
When you scan the Digit-Eyes Quick-Response (QR) text labels using the
Digit-Eyes Lite app on your iPhone or iPad, the content of the labels will
displayed and, if you have VoiceOver active, read aloud to you.
In addition to reading the Digit-Eyes text labels, you'll also be able to use
the Digit-Eyes Lite application on your iPhone or iPad to read standard
Quick-Response (QR) barcode labels.
Please note that Digit-Eyes Lite does not natively read UPC / EAN codes or
barcodes that are in the code 3-of-9 format; it also does not read the voice
labels that the full version of Digit-Eyes can create. It is only set up to
read and voice Quick-Response (QR) text bar codes. You can purchase separate
upgrades that allow you to add functionality to read UPC and EAN manufacturer's
barcodes, to read code 3-of-9 barcode labels or to read code128 barcode labels.
You can also add an option to record and play Digit-Eyes audio labels of your
own.
Digit-Eyes Lite is intended to be used by people who live or work with
someone who has the full version of Digit-Eyes, but who need don't need the
full product, only the ability to read and create text labels. A typical
example would be a sighted person who can tell what an item is and doesn't need
to be able to scan UPC / EAN codes, but who does need to be able to understand
the contents of the Digit-Eyes text labels created and used by a spouse or
co-worker.
Thus, Digit-Eyes Lite is a good choice if you just want to use your iPhone or
iPad to read the Digit-Eyes QR-coded text labels or to create text labels that
you and others can read with the Digit-Eyes application on your iPhone or iPad.
Digit-Eyes full version description
Best. Barcode. Reader. Ever! Scan UPC / EAN codes and hear the names of over
37 million products! Make your own QR code labels on the Digit-Eyes website
and print them on inexpensive address labels. These barcoded labels may
contain text that VoiceOver reads aloud or they can be used to record audio on
your iPhone or iPad that is played back whenever the bar code is scanned.
Blind? Dyslexic? Having problems reading? Digit-Eyes is for you! With
Digit-Eyes, you can
• Record your own labels. Visit the Digit-Eyes web site to print specially
coded quick-response (QR) digital code labels, apply one to your calendar or a
box of leftovers, scan, and record a message. To listen to the recording, just
rescan the label. This is how Nancy keeps track of her appointments; how
Jeanette labels her canning and how Randy keeps the fridge clean.
• Make text-based labels. Visit the Digit-Eyes web site to type up to 250
characters per label, print the specially coded quick-response (QR) barcodes on
address labels on your local printer and apply them to your file folders or
CDs. To listen to the text, scan it with the Digit-Eyes application on any
iPhone or iPad. This is how Will’s secretary labels his folders and how Ana
snoops through her friends’ CD collection.
• Buy pre-printed washable labels. Sew them into your clothing and record
whatever you want to about the garment: color, fabric care or what it should
be worn with. Even when the labels have been washed, bleached, sent through
the dryer or dry-cleaned, you’ll still be able to scan them with the Digit-Eyes
app on your iPhone or iPad and hear what you recorded about the garment. This
is how Davey makes sure he is wearing matching clothing and how Elizabeth can
easily sort the laundry.
• Use the manufacturer's product code to find out what the item is.
Digit-Eyes includes a feature that enables you to identify many groceries, CDs,
and other consumer goods by scanning the UPC and EAN codes on the products.
Just point the camera of your iPhone, Pad or iPod Touch 5g at a package label,
scan the code, and wait for Digit-Eyes to call our database and tell you what
the item is. This is how Deborah picks out her yarn, how Kevin finds the beef
stew, and how both get ready to record their audio labels.
• Read standard inventory tags in code 39 or code 128 format. This is how
Michael knows which printer is which at work and how Ben does the shelf
stocking in his store.
• Print labels directly from your iPhone on your Bluetooth-connected printer;
• Create and read QR vCard format business card information and add the
content to your contacts. This is how Digital Miracles gets information from
customers at conferences and how we share our own contact information;
• Create lists of code that you've scanned; edit them, type additional
information and share them with others. This is how Robbie notes what items
are getting used up and tells Gary what to buy at the store;
• Use Digit-Eyes with any blue-tooth connected laser scanner, integrated as a
single unit. This is how John is able to work at a grocery store reading the
shelf tags to find where to stock the product.
Use of the free Digit-Eyes website comes with the product. The website
contains extensive tutorial material designed for users of the iPhone and iPad
who are not sighted. The product purchase also includes free online support
and tutoring.
Digit-Eyes is available in English, Danish, French, German, Italian, Polish,
Portuguese, Norwegian, Spanish and Swedish.

The solution is in your hands.

I downloaded digit_eyes lite, but from what I can make out, i am supposed
to be going along the shelves in a grocery store, chemist etc,having the iphone
record the barcode information as it is seen: mind you, I haven't been able to
make it give the smallest squeak yet!
Once it has noted the barcode information of all the products I have shown
it, I can attach audio labels to those products and make a list of what I am
interested in.
I set up a bottle of gingerale on my display stand for it to identify, but
no such luck! All it said was "scanning ... scanning ... scanning. The 3
dots represent the loud click the phone gave between each announcement that it
was scanning.
It seemed to be, completely, blind to the fact that it had a bottle of
gingerale standing in front of it.
Well digit-eyes lite or heavy seemed to me to be out, so replacing my
bottle of gingerale with a can of paint, I let my trusty Tap Tap See loose on
it, and was told that it was apurple and red can. Well the purple and red was
additional information but that of it being a can was nothing new because a can
I knew it to be.
Moving on to Camfind.
In the beginning, as TTS had done, I was told that it was a can, but the
colours were a lot more fancy: cherry, strawberry and maybe something else
fruit-related. No, there wasn't a bowl of cherries anywhere, in case you are
asking.
Then, without my appearing to do anything, I seemed to be hurled, into the
world of vehicle and personal accident insurance. Where in the wide world that
came from, I haven't the foggiest.
I was told that I could get Tap Tap See to read a label, but I haven't
found the trick of getting it to do that.
Speaking of Tap Tap See, by far my favourite photo recognition app, so far,
I took a photo in my kitchen cum sitting-room last night and got back a
description containing 6 separate details: Detail #1: "medium-sized dog" #2:
black short-haired coat" #3: "Lying on brown *fur carpet" #4: "in front of
cupboard" #5: beside black steel wood burner" #6: "in the house!" Not bad:
huh!
I put an asterix beside fur as my home help has passed remarks on the
amount of hair that Guideon deposits on the carpet and the evidence of the
contents of the vacuum cleaner bag prove that she is not telling porkies, but
have TTS describe it as a *fur carpet was, I thought, just a bit rich.

Is it hard to locate the barcode with digit eyes? Can digitize see
barcodes on products from stores, the ready made barcodes? I know you can make
your own barcode labels but how does it do with boxed foods and cans of food,
and other household products? Does it have a barcode database for these things?
Thanks for any clarification. I had heard that iPhone cameras were not as good
at picking out bar codes as were the laser barcode readers, but I am wondering
if this is accurate.
Thanks for any information anyone can share.
Another question: does digitize have barcodes that you can so or pin onto
clothing and that can go through the washer and dryer for color labels?
Thanks
