Best. Barcode. Reader. Ever! Scan UPC / EAN codes and hear the names of over 37 million products! Make your own QR code labels on the Digit-Eyes website and print them on inexpensive address labels. These barcoded labels may contain text that VoiceOver reads aloud or they can be used to record audio on your iPhone or iPad that is played back whenever the bar code is scanned.

Blind? Dyslexic? Having problems reading? Digit-Eyes is for you! With Digit-Eyes, you can

- Record your own labels. Visit the Digit-Eyes web site to print specially coded quick-response (QR) digital code labels, apply one to your calendar or a box of leftovers, scan, and record a message. To listen to the recording, just rescan the label. This is how Nancy keeps track of her appointments; how Jeanette labels her canning and how Randy keeps the fridge clean.

- Make text-based labels. Visit the Digit-Eyes web site to type up to 250 characters per label, print the specially coded quick-response (QR) barcodes on address labels on your local printer and apply them to your file folders or CDs. To listen to the text, scan it with the Digit-Eyes application on any iPhone or iPad. This is how Will’s secretary labels his folders and how Ana snoops through her friends’ CD collection.

- Buy pre-printed washable labels. Sew them into your clothing and record whatever you want to about the garment: color, fabric care or what it should be worn with. Even when the labels have been washed, bleached, sent through the dryer or dry-cleaned, you’ll still be able to scan them with the Digit-Eyes app on your iPhone or iPad and hear what you recorded about the garment. This is how Davey makes sure he is wearing matching clothing and how Elizabeth can easily sort the laundry.

- Use the manufacturers product code to find out what the item is. Digit-Eyes includes a feature that enables you to identify many groceries, CDs, and other consumer goods by scanning the UPC and EAN codes on the products. Just point the camera of your iPhone, Pad or iPod Touch 5g at a package label, scan the code, and wait for Digit-Eyes to call our database and tell you what the item is. This is how Deborah picks out her yarn, how Kevin finds the beef stew, and how both get ready to record their audio labels.

- Read standard inventory tags in code 39 or code 128 format. This is how Michael knows which printer is which at work and how Ben does the shelf stocking in his store.

- Print labels directly from your iPhone on your Bluetooth-connected printer;

- Create and read QR vCard format business card information and add the content to your contacts. This is how Digital Miracles gets information from customers at conferences and how we share our own contact information;

- Create lists of code that youve scanned; edit them, type additional information and share them with others. This is how Robbie notes what items are getting used up and tells Gary what to buy at the store;

- Use Digit-Eyes with any blue-tooth connected laser scanner, integrated as a single unit. This is how John is able to work at a grocery store reading the shelf tags to find where to stock the product.

Use of the free Digit-Eyes website comes with the product. The website contains extensive tutorial material designed for users of the iPhone and iPad who are not sighted. The product purchase also includes free online support and tutoring.

Digit-Eyes is available in English, Danish, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Norwegian, Spanish and Swedish.

Pros and cons of Digit-Eyes app for iPhone and iPad

Digit-Eyes app good for

I have been waiting for an app which is taking advantage of iOS 4 and the iPhone 4 great camera, and goes beyond what apps like Red Laser do. This app allows the creation of custom barcodes to label things like medication, clothes and many other items for easy identification, by those who are visually impaired or blind. By logging into the website, one can create audio or text labels, and attach these custom labels for easy scanning later. I tested these larger custom labels. They are easy to scan and are recognized very fast by the app, handy for attaching to items which can be difficult to identify without sighted help. It is also useful for those who are visually impaired to be able to scan codes upside down or vertically, something that other barcode scanning apps do not do. I believe the App could use a little more work as in having the ability to keep a record for export of scanned items for inventory purposes. I am eagerly awaiting further development of the app, and feel it is priced reasonably.
This app if you know and have patients how to learn how to focus your camera and look for the barcode is very good. It can be difficult to use but not because of the app, more because of my not knowing where the barcode is. I appreciate the beeping to let me know that I am close to the barcode.

Some bad moments

Way too expensive for what it does. You cant see the barcode you just scanned. You cant export easily. Not recommended as is.
Just awesome how easy and accurate it was. Great product for VoiceOver users. It makes me feel really good that developers are making apps for VI users
I was disappointed when I couldnt get it to run on my new iPhone 4, but the new version has fixed that and the app runs great! Very cool concept.
Simply put, this app is wonderful and Id highly recommend it! The camera improvements of the iPhone 4 further enhance the apps functionality,making it even faster and easier scanning bar codes and labels alike. I needed to scan two identically shaped bottles of hair care products and Digit-Eyes made this possible in under five seconds for each bottle with my iPhone 4 and no special lighting conditions. Thanks and kudos to Digital Miracles for making such a great product!!!
Have used version 1 and 1.0.1 and was waiting for an update before writing a review. I have attempted to use the bar code scanning aspect many, many times and all times, it never works! This is a rip off and certainly not worth $30! This should not be considered a bar code scanner. There are apps that are free or very low cost, which do a way better job than this worthless app.
Light years ahead of similar apps. I work with the blind and sight impaired and this app will improve lives and improve independence. Thank you!
