Well, I tried Red Laser, Cam Find, Digit Eyes, Text Grabber, and Talking Goggles yesterday trying to identify a frozen dinner. Not one worked, and I have to guess this was an off brand, sure tasted like it but for the life of me, even after cooking it I don't really know what I actually had to eat. Tasted like scalloped potatoes and some sort of meat in a super sweet sauce, not something I would have bought. Goggles did say once "chic" but nothing else seemed to work no matter how a turned the box and my fingers seemed to feel a bar code on one end but nada from any app on my phone.
I like surprises but not necessarily in frozen dinners. Husband in the hospital and when he last got food just stuffed in in the freezer any which way, not a bit of organization which is making it difficult for me. I see boxes of all sizes and unless I open them, and sometimes even then, I seem to have no clue what I am getting. Same with canned stuff, he just can't seem to understand organization is necessary. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Alex Hall Sent: Saturday, November 16, 2013 4:46 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: red laser The app will beep, and vo will either announce a back button, or, much less frequently, the product name or price.
