sure these have been around in theUS, had one while I lived in North Dakota about 7 years ago. Not as advanced as this one though.

Hi Mark,

These are brilliant and I have had one for years.
I am surprised that you dont have them in the US.

Hi Mark,

   I totally feel your pain.  I really like the Digit-Eyes app but have not used it for years because I can’t get the audio labels to work reliably and easily.

   I have not found Way Around to be a good solution because the tags need to be ordered and they can be expensive when trying to label many items. More then that, at least, last time I checked, they were not a audio labeler, they only allowed for you to enter text.  I find this very limiting.

I’m hoping for a better labeling iPhone solution in the future.

One interesting app you can look at that is free is Navilense.  I hope I spelled that correctly.  It was recommended to me as a free audio labeling solution.  You print the labels yourself.  You can use the sheets you purchased for Digit-Eyes.  They are a unique system designed to work for the visually impaired.  I must admit they worked very well for me.  They are designed for the phone to pick up the label by the camera and do it easily, quickly and even from long distances.

   they just came out with a second pack of free labels.  So perhaps this might be a good solution.

I’d love a NFC solution like Way Around to have an audio labeling option and maybe an option for use of less expensive third party NFC tags.

I hope this helps.  Try the Navilense app and let us know how it goes.

Hello,

I would recommend using WayAround tags for this. You can record the contents of each box with a tag then duct tape or packing tape the tag to the box. You record and read the tags using an iPhone or Android phone. Note that the tags are completely reusable so you will have them after you unpack all the boxes for any other tagging jobs.

To learn more about WayAround tags, check their web site at:
wayaround.com

WayAroundare currently hosting Zoom weekly sessions to introduce the tags and provide tipson usage by others. The web site will lead you to these.

WayAround is currently offering a discount, 15% I think,  on their tags. I believe their dealers are also offering the discount. You can order from WayAround or ATGuys in the U.S. In Canada, only Canadian Assistive Technology sells the WayARound products.

Hello Everyone,

I need to find a way to generate some barcode labels or, perhaps, purchase
some barcode labels that I can slap on moving boxes.

My first solution was to use the Digit Eyes app but, after trying for over
2-hours, with three different computers, Including Windows 7, Windows 10,
and Mac OS Catalina, and 2 different laser printers, and, after purchasing
the blank Avery labels the developer said I should get, I cannot get the
printed barcodes to line up correctly on the actual labels.  I am extremely disappointed in this aspect of the digit Eyes app for iOS.  The funny thing
is that the test print pages for Digit Eyes line up perfectly.  It is the
generated PDF document that, even on screen, are not centered correctly.  I was told by the developer that they now generate their barcodes via Google.
Whatever!  I have wasted enough time with Digit Eyes with regard to
generating audio labels.

Does anyone know of another off-the-shelf solution?

Can one buy pre-printed barcodes that one could use with Digit Eyes? Or some other way I can reliably label boxes in order to have my phone tell me the
contents of the box?

All replies greatly appreciated.

Mark
