Greetings, everyone. I find this list so helpful that I hope someone will have suggestions for me.
I am totally blind and have had difficulty reading bar codes even using the ID Mate hardware products. But I get so much valuable information when I can focus the reader on the product correctly. I have an iPhone 7 with updated apps and the latest iOS (I think 15.2.1). Can someone who is successful at this explain how to point the camera at the product? Do I use the front or back camera? Has anyone had success reading bar codes on vitamin bottles or products such as aspirin? I have tried Supersense and Envision. I get a series of beeps telling me that I am getting close to the bar code, but no text is spoken. Would a more updated phone have a better camera, nd would that help? I am planning to upgrade some time this year. I will try a potato chip bag to see if this works better. Is there a link you can point me to for further help on this? And one more thing: Will any program read the name of a prescription drug from the codes on the bottle? I have some bottles that are not marked for Script Talk or the CVS program, and just need minimal information. I would be grateful for any hints you might offer. Beverly Wieland bwiel...@udel.edu
