IPhoneappThe Touch does have a camera, though it's not as good as the IPhone one; but I gathered from another post it's notworth trying this app anyway.-- Carol P ---- Original Message ---- From: "BJ Edwards" <mythsandshadows@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, June 02, 2011 11:46 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: FW: [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 beanswith rice pudding or tomato soup with sliced peaches are at an end for Can I Eat It? app users! You cantackle 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. http://www.canieatit.eu -- DISCLAIMER: NOTICE: The information contained in this email and any attachments is confidential and may be privileged.
