Thanks for this input, Lorie. It gives me an idea where to focus my
attention next time I use the app.

when it starts making the tones, I usually lower it a little and start moving
slowly back and forth or sometimes in a circular motion. the closer you get,
the faster or closer together the tones will get. I’ve had a few times where
they were really. going fast and still the bar code wasn’t recognized. usually
though, it’ll do that for a few seconds and then read the bar code.
I only use this if I’m looking for cooking instructions. I can get the Short
Text setting to read me what it is. I have a lot more trouble getting it to
read cooking instructions.

When you find the bar code and start hearing the rapid tones, do you detect
any hint that helps to locate the sweet spot?
Locating bar codes in itself is easy as they are always in specific
locations, be it cans, boxes or bags.

I actually rarely have problems with it. I use it a lot to check cans of cat
food, but I’ve learned around where the barcode is, so it usually works for me.
I hold it around 6 inches or so from the camera and slowly rotate until it
works.

I’ve noticed this same result more often than not lately, and have simply
resorted to the short text channel as a result. It can take more time that
way, but I can at least get a general idea of what I’m attempting to scan that
way.

I have some trouble with that too. I think it may be because you never know
where the bar code might be. it helps to hold the phone a llittle farther away
from the thing with the bar code until it starts beeping. then you can move in
closer. I’ve gone to a lot of trouble with some of these things and then when
seeing ai finally processes it it comes back “unrecognized.”

Hello all,
When using the Product category in this app, I have trouble finding the sweet
spot where the app can read the bar code. Can someone offer tips on this?
Thanks.
