Hi, Not wanting to state the obvious but perhaps people mistake A lack of information in the database for a barcode scanner not working. If, for example, RedLaser pings, it means that the barcode has been found and registered. However, if the result is only a number this means that the barcode cannot be recognised from the available database. So, in an attempt to clear things up, it wouldn't be right to say that RedLaser doesn't work just because the database is not adequate to your needs. As long as it finds a number, it means that RedLaser has recognised the barcode. Thus, as a barcode scanner, it is working perfectly. The problem then, is merely one of the database size. I did also like QR code reader, but for some reason, since the last update to703, this is not working for me. It does, however, have a much larger database which you can access, plus, it can access other databases such as that of digitise. So, if we can only get this to work again, we would have the best of all worlds with QR code reader and RedLaser on our iPhones.
With regard to general product recognition, let me remind you all that CamFind is also excellent! This is not a barcode reader but a product recogniser. Lastly, I just updated TextGrabber and find it to be really very good and much more forgiving of skewed text when used even freehand. Speaking personally, I don't find TapTapSee to be a tall satisfying. For reading information such as thermostat settings or the status of a washing machine, I would much prefer to use Face time or some such application and enlist the help of my friends. Good luck, Sandy Sent from my iPhone -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group. Post a new message to VIPhone by emailing [email protected].
