Has the TellSpec device been scientifically tested? Weve conducted extensive internal tests. Our tests show that we can reliably provide useful information about foods and their ingredients. We are working to partner with university researchers who will test the product, and document their results in academic publications. What does the TellSpec scanner do? The handheld scanner is a spectrometer. The low-powered lamp inside the scanner emits infrared light through the front window. Reflected light from the sample is then collected and dispersed by a diffraction grating onto a digital micro-mirror device., which reflects the light onto an InGaAs detector. The detector converts the light into an electrical signal that is then digitized and sent to your smart phone over Bluetooth. What happens after I scan the food? Once the smart phone receives the digital spectrum of the food, it transmits it to the TellSpec analysis engine in one of our servers, which processes it, compares it to reference spectra, and runs a learning algorithm on it. The output is interpreted through a large database, and information about the food is selected and customized for the user. The smart phone then downloads the information from the server and displays it to the user. What type of spectroscopy does TellSpec use? TellSpec uses infrared spectroscopy in the wavelength range 900 nm to 1700 nm. What can TellSpec detect? Which allergens and toxins can TellSpec tell me about? How small an amount of gluten can Tellspec detect? Can I scan just a bit of the food? Can TellSpec tell me about pesticides and other toxins? Does TellSpec provide information on sulfite levels? When and Where? Can TellSpec analyze any food? Yes. The depth of the information you get depends on how familiar TellSpec is with that food or similar foods. TellSpec has invented a learning algorithm. The more you and others use TellSpec, the more powerful it gets; and the better the information that everyone gets. Can TellSpec scan produce or meats? Yes, you can scan fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, meat, fish, eggs and other non-packaged foods, and get information about those foods. Can I use TellSpec every day? Yes, TellSpec is designed to scan everything you eat or drink. Use it as often as you like. Can I use TellSpec with my smart phone? TellSpec will be released with an app for both iPhone and Android. The Company Who is TellSpec? TellSpec Inc. was founded to build a healthier world by empowering people to make informed choices. TellSpec is a privately held Ontario corporation founded on February 1, 2013, headquartered in Toronto, Canada. Do you have any intellectual property, and how is it protected? TellSpec filed a U.S. patent application on August 5, 2013 for its method of analyzing and correlating spectra, identifying samples and their ingredients, and displaying related personalized information. We expect to file for patents in other jurisdictions under the Patent Cooperation Treaty. TellSpec also has rights in its source code, in the industrial design of the handheld TellSpec device, in its trade secrets, and its trademarks. Hardware How do I power my TellSpec scanner? The TellSpec scanner contains rechargeable batteries, which can be recharged by connecting it to any PC or Mac via USB. Is the TellSpec scanner water-resistant? The TellSpec is not watertight. Simply take the same precautions with your TellSpec as you do with your smart phone. ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
