4) Barcode does not retrieve product name. The application does not store or retrieve item names from Internet.
Specify the correct name the first time you scan the product. For future scans, it will retrieve this stored name.
5) If you entered the barcode name wrong, scan the product again and re-enter the name.
6) The quality of barcode scanning is purely dependent on the ZXing Barcode Scanner application. Keep it updated to the latest version for best results.
Voice Input not recognised:
1) Voice recognition is a developing technology and uses your phones voice recognition capability. It will not work if the required hardware (mic) or speech recognition software is not present.
2) If it recognises your friends voice, but not yours, there could be a problem with accent. The speech recognition capability of Android may be tuned to certain accents and languages. Try changing the voice settings in your phone. It generally does not recognise kids voices.
