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

Subject: [BCAB] Can I Eat It? IPhone app

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.
