How scanning works.

- +
+
+

No camera? Use a photo.

+

+ Most laptops and desktops don’t have a camera you can point at a packet. Take a photo with your phone, or screenshot a barcode from a shopping site, and Macrolog reads the barcode from the image instead. +

+
    +
  • On the Scan tab, tap Barcode from Image and pick the photo.
    • +
  • On a computer, drag the photo onto the Log Food page, or copy a screenshot and paste it (Ctrl+V, or Cmd+V on a Mac).
    • +
  • Recipes work the same way: in an ingredient’s Scan dialog, use Barcode from Image or drop or paste the photo.
    • +
  • Sideways, upside-down and tilted barcodes are fine. A full-size phone photo works even when the barcode is small in it; a blurry one may not.
    • +
  • If a photo won’t read, type the number under the barcode into Search. The product comes up first, marked Barcode.

Scanning tips.

Scanning tips.

A clean, steady read is everything. If a code won’t catch, these adjustments almost always fix it.

  • Hold steady — the scanner needs a sharp, well-lit barcode.
  • Move closer or further if it doesn’t detect — 15–25cm is usually ideal.
    • -
  • If the barcode won’t scan, try “Upload Label” or “Paste Text” instead.

Product not found?

Not every product is in the database yet — but a barcode you add once is yours forever, and instant on every future scan.

    +
  • Barcode from Image — on the Scan tab, and in a recipe's Scan ingredient dialog, pick a photo or screenshot and Macrolog reads the barcode from it, then looks the product up as if you had scanned it. Handles sideways, upside-down and tilted barcodes, and small barcodes in full-size phone photos
    • +
  • Drop or paste a barcode image — on a computer, drag a photo onto the Log Food page or paste a screenshot (Ctrl/Cmd+V) to read its barcode, from any Log Food tab
    • +
  • Type a barcode into Search — the 8 to 14 digit number printed under a barcode now finds that product directly, shown first with a Barcode tag
    • +
+
+
+
Improved
+
    +
  • No camera — on a device without a camera the Scan tab no longer shows an empty viewfinder and a permissions error. It says no camera was found and points to Barcode from Image

Scan a barcode without a camera
