Items sync to the app for you to review anytime.

1. Either lay the product flat so the barcode is visible to the camera (for e.g. a can) or hold the product in a 45 degree angle with the barcode pointing to the camera.
2. Use the live scan button to identify the product.
3. Scoop out the amount you need if not consuming the entire product and weigh it
4. Press again the Live scan button.

Even if the AI makes a mistake, you don’t need to stop to correct it. You can always edit ingredients later on your phone. This is the most efficient way.
