All this, really, great info leads me to the belief that the display stand that
I made and was, note
the past tense, so proud of is, * useless.
I place the item to be scanned about 10 inches, or thereabouts from the phone
which, in itself, is
standing, on its bottom edge, at the other end of the stand, thus placing the
camera lens about 6
inches [I have a 5S] above the stand.
Should I lower the camera to be able to get the label and barcode information?
I think that, if I was just to hold it in my hand, I would have the greatest
difficulty in focussing
the lens in just the right place.
If just lowering the camera while still retaining the display stand would be
enough, I think that I
could work out a method to do that. How far above the stand would the camera
need to be?

Subject: Re: Bar Code Reader App??
Hi, Everyone.
I got the Digit-Eyes full version on Wednesday and absolutely love it.
A few months ago I had my husband help me identify things for our
pantry and had made Braille labels, so used the BDE (before
Digit-Eyes) labeling to help with learning to scan. I also downloaded
the podcast from Applevis where Anonymouse gives hints and tips on the
use of the full version of the app.
I manage cans better than bottles or packaged items, but then I've
only been working with the app for a day or so. As an example, I had
the three cans of chicken stacked together and simply labeled
"chicken". What I didn't know, and found out through Digit-Eyes, is
that two were Hormel and one was Chicken of the Sea. So cool.
What's the "“you’re close alert”?
Would there be a way to read the sell-by or expiration info on the packaging?
Finally, is there a way to share the bar code info with another home
organization app on the same device?
Thanks,
Dani
