Scanning barcodes with the NeoReader™ application
About scanning with the NeoReader™ application
Use your device as a barcode scanner to find out more about items you scan. For
example, you see a coat in a magazine ad and want to find the nearest retail outlet to
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.
