Hello, I'm wondering if you have gone to the website and read the tips on finding the barcodes? I have been a user of Digit-Eyes from the very beginning when it was released. It takes practice to find the barcodes, but there are general concepts that I use depending upon what type of item I am attempting to scan. Can labels will have a seam that the edge will flap over from right to left. Usually, the barcode is to the left of this and toward the bottom. On square boxes, one can find the barcode opposite from the flap where one would open the box. I usually turn the box so the bottom is facing up and will start trying to find the barcode on the left side. These are just general tips and not all items will follow this. Digit-Eyes is only one app that I can choose from to obtain information on an item and is not the only app I'll use. It's nice to have several apps in my bag of tricks to get the job done. The best thing about Digit-Eyes is that I can create my own barcode labels and afix them to different items. HTH.
