The product you are describing is called the
ID Mate. another option is the Scan Talker which is an attachment to the
Pac Mate for those who have a Pac Mate.
Either scanner will scan the bar code on the product and then speak what
ever information there is in the data base about that particular product.
It can be used for anything which has a bar code including the barcodes one
may choose to attach to items like file folders or CD's or garden stakes, or
clothing, or shoes, or jewelry, or medications, or...the applications are
endless.
The scanner also reads thousands of labels from products like groceries,
books, music CD's, I think movie DVD's and to keep this on topic, it will
read the labels on your dog food cans so the dog gets his own food and not
the canned chili for dinner. smile.
I guess now that I have butted in here I should introduce myself. My name
is Dixie and I am working my first guide, a wonderful Fidelco Shepherd,
named Cobalt. We have been together almost 2 1/2 years. I heard about this
list on another and really like the idea of clicker training. I have been
lurking here for a couple weeks and am finding the information quite
valuable.

Speaking of technology -Many grocery stores now have some wee electronic
label on the shelves that gives the name of the product, price, unit price,
code #, and a bar code. The employes have a gadget that can change the info
if needed when they are restocking. It seems that it wouldn't be too hard
for some body to devise a similar gadget for reading that will then
translate the info into an audio format, or even into electronic Braille.
Would something like that be helpful? What kinds of problems or drawbacks
would there be?
