[Nfb-krafters-korner] bar code scanner

Sat Jun 12 15:37:01 UTC 2010

Mine is an ID Mate Omni  bar code scanner. You can have the bar code going 
any way at all, it will read it. Mine is small enough and has a strap to go 
around your neck to leave you hands free when shopping, except when you are 
ready to use it.
You can use it for identifying anything at all. If the item does not have a 
bar code on it, you can put one there. Such as in your craft room, to 
identify your beads, etc. You can scan your canned goods in your cupboard 
and find what you want. It even gives nutritional information. To ID your 
CDs it will even give you each song on the CD and each track. You can 
identify your clothing as it comes with iron on lables, too. They can be 
washed over 50 times without being undreadable, according to the 
manufacturer. You can use it for making memos, and then erase them later on. 
Lke your grocery list, address list, phone numbers, etc. It really is an 
amazing piece of equipment. And it only has five buttons to deal with, and 
that is great for a low techie like me to use.
