As far as actually locating and identifying the barcode, I like it better
than oMoby and noggles.
But the hard part with it may be having good light. I think DigitEyes would
be better if it had a button in the app to turn the light on, as I can't
seem to keep the light, or flash, on with my iPhone, so very good light is
necessary, and maybe that is why people have had trouble with it. The other
thing I like about DigitEyes, although I haven't used it yet, is the ability
to print your own labels and stick them to things, and then label them.
If there is a better one than the three I have mentioned, I'd like to try
it.
I do use VizWiz, and it is great, I always include a "thank you" with my
question, as I do appreciate the volunteers doing the reading for me.

Really? Are you using that app on a daily bases? I have read many, many
bad comments on that app in particular.
