[blparent] Identifying Groceries

[Melissa Treaster]

Hi Sara,
I use Digit-Eyes it's an app on the iPhone or other idevices. The cost of the app is 19.99. It's worth the cost. This is what there website says: What is Digit-Eyes? Digit-Eyes is a unique iPhone app that enables people who are visually-impaired or who have problems reading to identify items using their iPhone, iPod or iPad. Digit-Eyes reads manufacturer's UPC and EAN code and tells you the product name -- and often the full description, usage instructions and ingredients -- in 10 languages. Using Digit-Eyes, inexpensive off-the-shelf office supplies and a standard inkjet or laser printer, you'll be able to record audio labels or make text labels that are read aloud by your phone.
You can also buy there washable labels to use on Clothes or other items without a barcode. The best part is that if you do scan something and it does not come up someone can record for you what it is and you can send them an email asking them to add it in. I like that you can print your own labels and not have to pay for more like you would with the penfriend and if you buy there's you can wash the labels I think is cool. Here is the website.

Good luck.
