[BlindTlk] Finding Barcodes on Products

Thu Aug 20 01:40:19 UTC 2020

You can pay for one month, which I did, but I wasn't anymore impressed with the Super Sense App, than with Seeing AI. I haven't read the other messages in this thread but I will say that there are two things to keep in mind:
Can you find the code and
Does the app have what you are scanning in it's database. A couple of items I tried could be found by one of the apps but they didn't have it in their database. Though I haven't spent a lot of testing of late, I am totally not impressed with the ability of apps to read barcodes. Much faster to use Be My Eyes, especially since there will be few 5 minute free opportunities with Aira after Aug. 25.

Thanks for the brain jog to cancel Super Sense!

I tried the free version and I couldn't do a thing with it. I guess you have to pay for what they called a premium features. But what if you pay for it and don't like it? Because I'm here to tell you it's not cheap.
