[Electronics-Talk] Evaluating bar code scanner apps

[Brad Hodges]

Colleagues:

I have been following the discussions of the comparative efficiency of 
PC-based hardware and iOS approaches to reading product bar codes. It 
occurs to me that this task  can be compaired to identifying bank notes. 
I note that many users of VoiceOver find that Money Talks to be the best 
of the money identification apps. The app uses the video camera 
available on the iPhone and identifies the note immediately once there 
is enough information for the app to evaluate. Similarly, I'm curious if 
any of the bar code scanning appes use this "video" approach.

Applevis might be a resource to review app evaluations or pose this 
question.

Best,

Brad Hodges
