[Electronics-Talk] Cooking instructions app

[Annely Rose]

Hi All,

I haven't read all of this thread so forgive me if this has been stated.  
There is a web site called directionsforme.com by Horizons for the Blind.  They also offer a bar code scanner that is new.  Below is the information I copied from the web site.


BAR CODE SCANNER FOR USE WITH DIRECTIONS FOR ME: ATMS3580
	 
  

CUSTOMIZED METROLOGIC QUANTUM OMNI-DIRECTIONAL BAR CODE SCANNER
 The Metrologic Quantum bar code scanner is customized for use with the DirectionsForMe service, which allows you to identify over 450,000 items and obtain directions, ingredients, warnings and other packaging information in an accessible format. This bar code scanner is easy to use, just plug it into your computer or notetaker, go to www.directionsforme.org and start scanning. The Quantum gives us the freedom to organize the pantry, prepare dinner, or bake that delicious cake mix without having to ask a sighted person to read the labels.

 Features:
•    Built-in swivel stand that offers simple, hands-free operation.
•    Omni-directional lasers for improved scanning.
•    Compatible with any USB enabled device such as Windows and Macintosh computers as well as popular notetakers like BrailleNote, BrailleSense, and PAC-Mate.

 Directions for bar code scanner available on CD with package.


 


Scanner Warranty: Please Select...No Thank You 3 Year Scanner Warranty (+$65.00)  
	 
  
Price: $159.00  

Hope this is helpful.  It's a lot cheaper than the I.D. Mate, but not so portable.  I have the I.D. Mate summit and am pretty happy with it.  I'd like to try this though.

Annely

 Yes, but some of the
 stuff doesn't read instructions anymore, even with the
 
 current update that they repaired.  I
 notice that some stofers stuff still 
 only
 says what it is, now.  Pam.

 Dave, that's the Envision bar code
 reader.  It identifies things, and reads
 instructions, warnings, and ingredients.  It
 is expensive, but we feel like
 it's one
 of the best things we ever bought.  My husband is not a
 gadget guy
 at all, but he uses the bar code
 reader every day.

 If
 I am remembering right -- which I may not be, one of the bar
 code
 scanning apps, like Red Laser may do
 this.

 p.s.  The bar code scanning
 device for the blind,, the name escapes me, does
 this, but it is a bit expensive.
