Questions

Can it tell me what a product is or what it costs?

No. A product barcode holds only a number; the name and price live in each shop’s own database. The scanner shows the number, checks its check digit and, for books, gives the ISBN you can search for.

Why isn’t my barcode found?

Hold it flat and fill most of the frame, with good light and no glare. Very small, blurry or creased barcodes may not read; try a sharper photo, closer. In photos, crop to the barcode if the picture has a lot else in it.

Does the camera record anything?

No. Frames are looked at in the page, a few times a second, until a code is found; then the camera turns off. Nothing is saved or uploaded. The browser asks for permission first, and you can block it any time.

Are my images uploaded anywhere?

No. Your images are opened and processed on your device, and the results are saved straight back to it. Nothing is uploaded. How to check.

Is it free? Do I need an account?

It is free to use and there is nothing to sign up for. There are no watermarks and no daily limits.
