Hi Nancy, I saw your reply privately the other day when I reported that I could not get it to pick up anything on my iPad Mini. I thought I read some place in your scanning tips possibly that iPads don't do flash on the camera. Is this the case? Do I have to bring up the stage lights to get thi

Hi alex, you could always fork out some money on a koamtak kdc300i. ebony consulting has them. Email for a quote if interested. I can tell you it comes in around 650 bucks normally. Best, Alex Hall wrote: I went ahead and bought the whole thing, which I now see wasted $10 since I'll nev

I went ahead and bought the whole thing, which I now see wasted $10 since I'll never need audio labeling. Too bad iTunes can't do refunds... Ah well. Anyway, I've had limited success scanning bar codes. Even when I know where the code is supposed to be, it can be slow getting the app to recogniz

The good news is that it is not $30 -- the price or the entire package was reduced to $19.95 earlier this year You can also buy just the part you need if you don't need the whole thing. If you want only one function (labeling), you can actually use the free version and make text labels; if you

Hi there My husband showed me a way to do barcode scanning that works fairly well. You wouldn't want to use it every time you scan a can if you knew braille, but you could use it to help label your cans in braille. What I do is to first put the iPhone camera side facing the can. You use the cam

It's not an exact science. What I tend to dio is p'ace the camera aperture where the bar code is ment to be. Then I slowly raise the camera until it beeps and finds the code. Hope this helps, Alex Hall wrote: How easy (or hard) is it to scan a label? A barcode? It's not a whole lot of good

How easy (or hard) is it to scan a label? A barcode? It's not a whole lot of good if it takes a minute or more just to line up the camera correctly. Is light a problem, or will it enable the flash if it has to? Thanks. On 12/21/12, Eugenia Firth wrote: > Hi there > Yes, it is definitely worth $30

Hi there Yes, it is definitely worth $30. It's the best barcode scanner I've got. Anyway, the labeling works pretty well. The only bug is thate voiceover talks a little extra, but that's not a big deal. Sent from my iPhone On Dec 21, 2012, at 11:42 AM, Alex Hall wrote: > Hi all, > I asked

Hi all, I asked on Twitter and the accessible-iOS list, but never really got an answer. I want to label boxes, folders, clothing, maybe a few kitchen containers, and read bar codes. Is Digit-Eyes really worth the $30 it costs? If so, how easy are the codes to read? I've tried a couple bar code r
