Labelscope

Labelscope turns your camera into a search tool for ingredient labels. Add the words you want to watch for — "palm oil", "milk", "sesame", anything you choose — then point your camera at an ingredient list.

No squinting at four-point print in a supermarket aisle. KNOWS WHAT INGREDIENTS ARE ACTUALLY CALLED Labels rarely use the word you have in mind.
