Scanning barcodes with the NeoReader™ application
About scanning with the NeoReader™ application
Use your phone as a barcode scanner to find out more about items you scan. For

buy it. If the ad contains a readable barcode, the NeoReader™ application uses this
code to access mobile web content, such as a web page with more product
information or a map of nearby outlets. NeoReader™ supports most standard
barcode types.
