John,
There is a company called Envision America that makes that Bar Code
Scanner.  I am not sure of its name, but its cost is about $1,500.  The
company that makes this also makes an electronic medication identifier that
uses some sort of digital chip that pharmacies could provide with a special
printer.  I have been quite tempted by the bar code scanner for identifying
household products and food, given my laziness when it comes to providing
Braille labels, but $1,500 seems like a lot of money to compensate for
one's laziness.  Therefore, so far, I have not really ever seen or tested
it.  Call if you want to know any more about this though.

Hello Ross,

Long time no see. I think the product I am thinking of is its own device and
not a add on but I will check it out. I hope everything is well for you.

Take care,

John
