RedLaser goes International!

with 28 comments

When we launched the first realtime barcode scanner for the iPhone a few weeks ago, it only worked on UPC codes (no books or European codes) and had trouble with curved barcodes.

We’re excited to announce that with our latest update, RedLaser 2.2, realtime mode now supports EAN (books / European codes) AND solves the problems with curved barcodes!  We’ve also made improvements to the UI based on feedback from all of our users.

Developers, get going! The SDK has been updated with the latest recognition code, and it no longer requires an internet connection to work since scanning happens completely on the phone.

Here is a full list of all the new features/improvements:

  1. Realtime scanning for EAN and curved codes (Photo scan mode is now gone because it’s not needed).
  2. Increased speed and less memory usage.
  3. Emailing occurs within the app – no need to exit.
  4. Email contains an attachment with a list of barcodes for import into other software.
  5. “Clear” button to quickly start a new list.
  6. Setting to turn off autosearch to allow quick scanning of several products to email or search later.
  7. Manual entry support for 6-8 digit UPCs and 8 digit EANs. These are the only UPC/EAN codes we can’t scan currently. They’re rare, but now you can at least enter them manually if needed.

We’ve submitted 2.2 to Apple for approval, and it will be available on the App Store soon. If you’re an app reviewer and would like to try it before it goes live, contact us at info@occipital.com.

Here are some examples of codes that now work great with RedLaser 2.2 realtime scanning:

Book (EAN) with 3G Curved UPC with 3GS

    The update for curved barcodes is fantastic. I would have problems with reading off of smaller bottles where the curvature was more pronounced. Looking forward to giving this a try very soon. Much appreciated.

    What a weird and seemingly arbitrary pricing scheme.

    This is much like the iphone version really, very clever stuff indeed. I downloaded the developer API's though and for some reason my stopzilla says its a threat, very strange. Well, I read a stopzilla review and I think its just a false positive so I'll start developing with it today.

    Beyond the fact that it's the first accurate iPhone barcode scanner for UPC and EAN, probably the most noteworthy thing about RedLaser is that the developers are not keeping the technology locked in their own products.

    This is such an informative article and very clearly written. Every single thought and idea is direct to the point. Perfectly laid out. Thank you for taking your time sharing this to you readers….But one thing I notice is that most of your commenters are out of topic.

    I have been surfing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It's pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be much more useful than ever before.
