[blparent] Identifying Groceries

[Sharon Howerton]

Sarah, I understand that there are iPhone apps that read bar codes which
would certainly be cheaper, but I do not know which ones they are or how
accurate. Sometimes people sell bar code readers on buy/sell lists,
especially those for the blind and visually impaired.
Good luck to your friend.
Sharon

Hi All,

I have an ID Mate, which I love. It is a stand alone device that I can wave
over the bar code of a grocery item and it scans the bar code and tells me
what that item is. I have a friend who wants something that does the same
thing, but the ID Mate costs $1,200, and she would prefer not to pay that
much. I am wondering what other devices are out there that work the same way
(by scanning the bar code). Please share anything you are aware of -- iPhone
apps as well as stand alone devices.
Thanks,
Sarah
