Compared to other cataloging apps, I truly resonate with MononoMori's aesthetic and mindful philosophy! However, for items with standard barcodes like books and household medicines, scanning a barcode is often faster and more accurate than photo recognition. It would be fantastic to have a dedicated barcode scanning feature alongside AI vision, making batch organizing of books and first-aid kits even smoother!
Thank you so much for your kind words and valuable suggestion! For items with universal barcodes (such as ISBNs for books or standard medical barcodes), barcode scanning indeed provides higher accuracy and deterministic data, making it a wonderful complement to our AI visual recognition.
The main challenge lies in database coverage across various categories and regions, as well as API terms and commercial usage constraints. We are actively investigating reliable data sources.
Books (ISBN lookup) will be our first priority for prototyping, fetching titles, authors, and publisher details in a snap. Once the technical flow is validated, we will seamlessly integrate it with our AI workflow. In the meantime, you can also leverage AI Batch Recognition when organizing multiple items at once 🌿✨
