Fantastic product. My wife who is visually impaired finds it VERY user friendly with excellent database of products. Prompts are easy to follow and portable. She can also label clothes or other items with included blank 100 bar codes provided. If a barcode is not recognized by database (only had two so far) you can voice record the product. It even (if you prompt it) will tell you the nutritional facts of product as well as directions for use. Battery life is very long been using 2 weeks without it needing a recharge yet. Product is expensive but well worth it for any blind or visually impaired customer who wants more independence around the house or in the food/clothes store.I purchased the ID Mate Summit Bar Code Reader. Anyone that is blind or visually impaired would benefit from this bar code reader. I use it to find out what is in a can or package. You just turn on the reader and point it towards the item you want scanned and turn the product until it recognizes the bar code and it beeps and tells you what the product is. It also gives you manufacturer information, nutritional information, and most important user instructions. I can pick something out of my freezer, point the scanner towards the product and it scans it and tells me what it is and tells me how I need to cook it. I can pull a can or box of something out of my pantry and it tells me what it is, I.E., Delmonty green beans, Campbell's soup, Nabisco crackers etc. You can also make your own labels to put on items, like books and cd's. It has a built in recorder and they provide labels with bar codes on them and you just say what the item is and any other information you would like to know when you scan it later. It will also scan items other than food products. It also is smaller than its predecessors and fits comfortably in my hand. I do wish they would improve the speech instead of using the basic computerized voice; however this shouldn't stop you from purchasing it.This is a great device. It can scan a lot of stuff including CDS. The voice is very robotic. It is using the Doubletalk system with is preity old. It is very useful. it can do a lot of stuff. You should really by this device or wait for next model.
