Richard, I've heard from my sister and sighted friends that the print is really tiny for the experation dates. While I wouldn't mind writing to the different companies that do ocr, whether it be apps or computer ocr, maybe I'm asking a question that doesn't make sense in a way, actually I don't know how to put my questioning, sorry about that, but is there some technical reason that you know of that the experation dates don't come up in the scanning? I mean experation dates are just as important as cooking directions on a box, well in the samecatagory of importantance. Sorry if I'm not making sense. I do want to think you for giving it a try as far as seeing if you could get the experation date, I think that may have been about 2 or 3 weeks or so when it last came up. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Turner" <[email protected]>

Sadly, I do not think you will ever see expiration dates in barcones. Barcodes identify the general product, not that individual package. But you would probably have to contact the manufacturer to find out if something could be done. According to my wife, there is little consistancy of placement of expiration dates and it is hard for even sighted people to find them.

"Why, what did she tell you?"

hmm, you know, as for Seeing AI, I don't think I've ever seen expiration dates for anything listed in the bar code info.

I do hope supersense and other ocr apps eventually can read experation dates which is quite important. I don't know if there's some sort of technical reason why experation dates can't be read, but I hope that's something that can be worked out.

Hi all,
I also wanted to elaborate on Supersense a bit. We're working on
adding cooking directions, since that is a crucial set of information
that can be obtained with a little cross-research after identifying a
barcode.
I've also noticed that from my personal experience, Supersense tends
to recognize more products in my pantry than the other apps I've
tried.

  Will Seeing AI give you directions for cooking in addition to just
identifying the product?  This is a feature I heavily use on my barcode
scanner (galaxy).

  Don:



  Seeing A I has improved their bar code scanner, and it is quite good.



  It is also free.



  Super
  Sense is also pretty good, but it is a paid app.
