Hi Jackie.
I cant wait for this app either; I was thinking of buying digit-eyes,
but
its way too much to spend on a technology which if in all honesty i
don't
know how much I'll be using. I'm still getting used to Prizmo on the
IPhone
which is an OCR app, trying that with and in comparison to Zoom Reader
and
I'm getting varying results so lets see how much this can I eat it app
costs, then I might just take the plunge.
All the best, Ibrahim.

I don't know Ron, but I'm going to give it a whirl if it isn't too
expensive. I don't see why it won't work if you have your Touch
connected
to WiFi.

Thanks Jackie. Will it be okay for the iPod touch? The date of June
4th is
wrong so I assume they mean next Monday,
Cheers
Ron

The below appeared on the BCAB list, so apologies to those subscribed
there,
but I felt this would be useful to share with people here as well.

RNIB were contacted about this app, which will be out next week. Here
is the
mail we got:
In the app store, Monday June 4th. www.canieatit.eu
The Can I Eat It? IPhone app is another step towards safe independent
living for the blind and visually impaired!
For millions of consumers with normal vision, and for the blind and the
visually impaired, The Can I Eat It? Barcode app provides information
on
tens of thousands of food and drink products from Aldi, Asda, The
Co-operative Food, Lidl, Marks& Spencer, Morrisons, Sainsbury's, Tesco
&
Waitrose.
How do you use it? The blind and the visually impaired need to switch
on
the IPhone's built-in VoiceOver, which is found in Settings. Now the
Can I Eat It? app is set up to become the eyes for the user.
You can choose products that you wish, or don't wish, to eat by going
to
Settings and choosing your preferences: for example, gluten free, low
fat,
low sugar or vegan... there is an extensive list.
Sorted! Now just move the IPhone camera lens over the product; when it
gets
to the barcode, you will hear a bleep; if you have switched on
VoiceOver, it
will now speak the information a sighted person will be able to read.
Each
product shows its name, tasting note, and dietary and nutritional
information.
As most of the products that are found in the Kitchen cupboard, the
fridge
and the freezer are in the Can I Eat It? app's database, the problem of
the
blind or visually impaired person mixing up packets of salt with sugar,
gravy granules with coffee, tins of baked beans with rice pudding or
tomato soup with sliced peaches are at an end for Can I Eat It? app
users!
You can tackle your kitchen cupboard with renewed confidence.
The SuperMarketOwnBrandGuide and Martin Isark, food and drink
journalist,
taster and author, have teamed up with 'the Other media' to produce the
'Can
I Eat It? IPhone app. In the app store Monday June 4th.
