Barcode scanner
Please bear in mind that this function cannot give perfect results and might be challenging to use. We offer
this function as it can be useful and convenient, but getting an accurate result might take time and you will
probably need several takes. Indeed, the only way to get good results is to correctly align the phone to take
a well-calibrated picture of the barcode, which can be challenging with no or low vision, for instance if the
barcode is difficult to find. Sighted assistance might be useful to get more comfortable this application.
