Yes.
And, the brighter the ambient light, the better the scan and the quicker the
recognition, as with any scanning.

Advances Independence For Visually Impaired
Hello,
I just bought the digit eyes product and I had one quick question.
I scanned a barcode on a can of soup and it made the noise like it
recognized it but now all its doing is making a clicking noise every few
seconds or so.
I was curious if that was the program searching or what?
Thank you
Chad
