Indeed, the faster to tone, the closer you are to the code and triggering the actual scan. While it does come in handy, there are often moments of frustration where it simply wont’ work. Tradeoffs for using a free app instead of a dedicated device made specifically for this purpose.
I’ve contemplated getting an ID Mate, but doubt I’d use it enough to warrant the cost. My better half is sighted and I’ve always got my iPhone on me, so of course every situation is going to be different.

I don’t think phone apps do very well with bar codes. We have an id mate summit which is terrific.

I am thinking of writing the developer somehow because this didn’t used to be this way. I had no trouble finding barcodes but it is getting slowly worse.

The trick is to start a good 12 inches away from the can and move slowly toward the can. The bar code is usually near the seam of the label on the lower half of the can.

No luck. I turned the can every which way, but whereas before I could get some sort of a bleep from the app, last night I got a whole lot of nothin'. Yes, I'm aware this could be a matter of the user being a little ... slow. I tried using short text, and while more successful, the mixed results were more annoying than helpful and still didn't really tell me what I wanted to know. So, has anyone found a good bar code reader app? I looked at Digit Eyes on the app store, but it seemed outdated based on the history of the reviews. Other than Be My Eyes or AIRA, are there any other worthwhile contenders? Thanks for any help. Joe -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
