ID Mate Quest CD User Guide
Introduction:
i.d. mate Quest is the world’s first fully portable, Bar Code Identification System for the visually
impaired. Using digital voice recording and text-to-speech technology, the product allows users to
access a huge pre-loaded database with a large variety of products and their descriptions. Along with
this pre-loaded data, the user can add information on the fly by recording voice messages associated
with any barcode. In addition to barcode scanning, voice recordings, and an MP3 player, i.d. mate
Quest introduces camera vision technology to allow you to do currency identification and place free,
video and voice calls using Skype. You will find your new i.d. mate Quest to be user friendly, with
spoken prompts directing you at all times.
i.d. mate Quest can be used in the home, workplace, grocery, library, or classroom to identify any item
using an existing UPC bar code or a bar code label you attach yourself. For example, with i.d. mate
Quest you can identify cans, jars, boxes, bottles, clothing, books, playing cards and games, prescription
medicines, compact discs, record albums, cassette tapes, computer diskettes, pictures, or important
papers and documents. In fact, any product or item that is not easily identifiable by means of the other
senses is a candidate for i.d. mate Quest.
In addition to barcode scanning, ID mate Quest introduces new Wi-Fi connectivity that allows for
immediate and convenient download of updated bar code databases and new software applications as
they become available on quest. And, when connected to Wi-Fi, Quest will search for product data
online when an item is not found in our database.
We have also added another feature that takes advantage of your why fie connection. With the addition
of camera vision technology we have added a Currency Identification application where you can now
take a snapshot to identify: United States dollar, Australian dollar, British Pound, Canadian dollar and
European euro.
