Ready. One photo usually works; if not, take another and the app combines them.

For a good read

  1. Stand back about an arm’s length and zoom in (pinch) until the frame fills about three quarters of the picture, all four dark corner bars showing. Very close photos bend the bands and fail.
  2. Hold the phone square to the frame, not tilted.
  3. Use even light. Tilt away from shiny glare; avoid hard shadows across the bands.
  4. Hold still. A sharp photo matters more than a close one.

Version R005. Reads the 5″ test frame format: 4 bands, 7,560 burned marks, 12 error-corrected blocks. Everything runs on your phone; no photo leaves it.
