Grocery aisle labels

Q: How do I trigger label reading on the shelf?

Tap or double-tap anywhere on the screen in Lumyeye Pro to activate listening, then point the camera at the shelf and ask "Read the labels". OCR (read aloud) runs and the answer comes back in a natural warm voice.

Lumyeye Pro reads shelf labels, prices and per-unit prices, flags promotions and identifies organic, gluten-free or fair-trade labels. Works in all aisles, including frozen behind the glass.

Sample transcript and context

Mrs. Lefevre, 73, does her grocery shopping every Wednesday at her local supermarket. She pushes her cart alone, her iPhone hanging from a lanyard. In the yogurt aisle, she aims the camera and Lumyeye Pro reads the visible labels: "Plain yogurts, pack of 4 pots of 125 grams, $1.80, that's $3.60 per kilo. Next to it: Organic vanilla yogurts, pack of 4 pots, $2.50, $5.00 per kilo."

The store-posted prices, the promotional notes printed on the shelf tag and the ingredients shown on packaging are read aloud. Lumyeye Pro also reads printed food labels (gluten-free, lactose-free, organic, fair-trade), expiration dates visible on packaging and posted allergen notices.

Reading is on demand, photo by photo: no automatic alert, no proactive notification about promotions or short dates; no memory cart, no ranking of favorite products, no aisle-by-aisle guide. Lumyeye Pro reads what is visible when you request it.

Compatible with all aisles: fresh, dry, frozen (reading through the glass of refrigerated cases), cleaning products, hygiene and beauty. iPhone 16+ exclusive, from $16.99/month, free trial, no credit card.

Frequently asked questions

Grocery aisle — your questions.

Does Lumyeye Pro read per-unit prices to compare products?

Yes. The app systematically announces the unit price and the per-kilo (or per-liter) price, enabling immediate comparison across brands, sizes and formats. It also flags promotions and loyalty offers posted on the shelf.

Are promotions and red tags detected?

Yes. Lumyeye Pro recognizes promotional tags (half-off pack, BOGO, loyalty-card discount) and announces them in priority. The app also distinguishes active promotions from expired ones.

Does Lumyeye Pro identify organic, gluten-free or lactose-free products?

Yes. The app recognizes major official labels (organic, gluten-free certified, fair-trade) as well as allergen and dietary mentions displayed in large print on the packaging.

Can I email myself a shopping list from the aisle?

Yes. As you scan products, ask Lumyeye Pro to email you a list of items spotted. You'll find it on your computer later.

Testimonial

Mrs. Lefevre, 73, Nice.

"I used to ask store employees to read every label. Now I push my cart alone, my iPhone on a lanyard, and Lumyeye Pro reads aisles like a personal assistant. I compare per-unit prices, I find the organic tag, I check the expiration date. Independence regained."

Practical tips

Shop independently with Lumyeye Pro.

Use a lanyard or chest strap. Frees your hands for the cart. The iPhone faces forward, the camera at chest level.
Ask for the per-unit price. Lumyeye Pro announces both the unit price and the per-kilo/per-liter price. Compare quickly across brands.
Check expiration dates on fresh items. Point the camera at the date on the packaging. The app reads what's visible.
Email yourself the shopping list. As you scan products, ask Lumyeye Pro to email you a list.
Avoid peak hours. Shop at quieter times: less ambient noise = better voice recognition + more shelf space.
