LB Universal Scanner - V1.2.16 update logs ========================================= Access in Motion "Capture clearly. Hear more. Keep your evidence." Manual capture now waits for a settled, readable candidate using movement stability, recognized text, line structure and visible text coverage before saving a result. This helps with motion and limited hand control, but it cannot recover text that the camera never captured and it does not certify that a label is complete or correct. Users can choose immediate capture or a three- or five-second preparation delay, giving more time to position the phone, steady a hand or place the package. Optional vibration guidance accompanies barcode and label-scanning guidance when enabled. It provides local device feedback alongside the existing visual and spoken instructions. Manual label scanning now includes a hands-free command button. Device speech recognition can accept capture, repeat or cancel commands, with clear fallback behavior when speech recognition is unavailable. Spoken results continue to use the selected language and the evidence already present in the result. Saved evidence for one selected product can now be exported to a password-protected local file. The export contains that product\'s saved evidence and retained package photos only; it does not include the full scan history, other products or profile settings. The export remains user-controlled and is not uploaded automatically. The existing evidence workflow remains connected: reviewed label panels, original and reviewed text, saved versions and differences, package-versus-database comparison, manufacturer replies, product warnings and source context. Missing, blurred or conflicting information remains visible as unknown or uncertain instead of being filled with a guess. This release does not claim that every difficult image can be recovered, that a quality score authenticates a label, or that captured evidence proves safety. Check the real package and current official documents whenever safety matters. Accessibility also needs testing with real users and devices, including screen readers, voice output, touch interaction and camera workflows. Accessibility entry point: Welcome and scanner home now offer Hear how to use LB. It enables voice assistance, explains the core actions aloud, and gives the main voice switch an explicit screen-reader label and state. This supports TalkBack and VoiceOver navigation; it does not replace the operating system screen readers or guarantee independent use without testing with real users. Ingredient detail pages: tap an analyzed ingredient card to open its dedicated page. The page brings together the matching bundled record, plain-language explanation, reference impact, aliases, categories, declared allergens, warnings, related and derived ingredients, cross-reference notes, dataset scope, entry counts, review metadata and available source links. Missing fields remain missing, and the page does not certify the safety or suitability of the complete product.

V1.2.15: Evidence Expansion "More coverage. Clearer sources. Honest evidence." Database coverage expansion: LB now includes 18 additional reference records across all six bundled databases, bringing the current total to 773 records. Three new records were added to each category without removing the existing records. Food ingredients now total 282 records, including new entries for sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and buckwheat. Pet-food ingredients now total 97 records, including mannan oligosaccharides, beta glucan and sodium chloride. Cosmetic ingredients now total 162 records, including stearic acid, potassium sorbate and sodium chloride. Cleaning-product ingredients now total 83 records, including potassium chloride, sodium chloride and sodium sulfate. Art and school supplies now total 97 records, including mica, ultramarine blue and zinc oxide. Raw-food fiber references now total 52 records, including sunflower seed kernels, roasted pumpkin seed kernels and poppy seeds. Quality checks: Canonical names and aliases were checked for duplicates, and cross-dataset lookup conflicts were checked before the records were included. The bundled-data counts and integrity values were updated together so the app can detect an unexpected asset change. Source context: The evidence view now exposes category-level reference links and scope notes for the refreshed databases. These links explain the scope of the category guidance; they are not per-entry verification and do not certify every record. Safety and transparency: The new entries provide reference context, not a guarantee that a product is safe, suitable or nutritionally complete. The real package label remains the primary check. Cleaning and supply products still require the current label and, where relevant, the complete current Safety Data Sheet. Raw-food fiber values are preparation-specific reference estimates. This release focuses on expanding coverage and making its limits clearer; it does not silently replace package evidence or invent missing information.

V1.2.14: A Clearer Picture "Protect your local data. Keep the evidence. Stay in control." Private Local Transfer Move profiles, saved products and notes, scan history, pet profiles, evidence, replies and retained photos between LB iOS installations in one password-protected, authenticated file. Imports are fully validated before replacement, with recovery for interrupted restores. LB does not upload the archive or recover forgotten passwords. Choose a local Files destination to avoid cloud syncing. Android transfer files are not compatible. Product Rediscovery & Open Prices Find products again through web search and source links. Tap to look up barcode-linked community price observations, including price, currency, date and location. Coverage may be incomplete or outdated. Observations do not confirm stock, delivery or availability. Product Memory & Change Detection Keep up to 12 distinct evidence snapshots per product, with dates, sources and retained label panels. With Scan History enabled, rescanning preserves earlier evidence; versions can also be saved explicitly. Compare ingredients, allergens, nutrition, recognized hazard codes and reviewed text. Differences can result from incomplete captures, different sources or recognition errors, not necessarily reformulation. Multi-Photo Label Capture Combine up to 8 reviewed package panels while preserving original recognized text and edited wording. Retain photos when history is enabled and storage succeeds. Repeated lines are flagged for review. Food, pet-food and cosmetic scans require ingredients; supplies can use warning or SDS panels. Missing captures do not mean information is absent from the package. Saved evidence and photos have deletion controls and are marked for exclusion from cloud backup. Package vs. Database Use Review this package to compare the real label with a saved database result. Both sources remain separate, with ingredient-text differences highlighted and available allergen and nutrition evidence shown. Unverified label interpretations do not silently replace database fields. Pet Mode 2.0 Create cat and dog profiles with life stages and sensitivity terms. Review recognized food declarations, possible species mismatches and broad protein descriptions. Compare two foods using the dry-matter calculator. Text matches are not diagnoses; missing matches do not establish suitability. Calculations remain approximate and do not certify nutritional adequacy or replace veterinary advice. Manufacturer Reply Records Save up to 20 replies per product with questions, dates, claimed senders, barcode or batch details and follow-up points. Replies remain unverified correspondence and never change warnings or declare a product safe. Translating private replies requires confirmation. Nothing is sent to manufacturers automatically. Cleaning & Supply Guidance Review captured SDS excerpts for ventilation, protective equipment, handling, storage, first aid and disposal. Selected non-English headings are recognized. Missing sections remain unknown. Compare saved compositions for recognized bleach combinations with ammonia or acids. This limited check never declares a mixture safe. Consult real labels and current, complete SDS documents. Database Traceability & Voice Check release fingerprints and inventories for all six bundled databases and 755 existing records. This adds traceability, not new scientific review or database expansion. Unknown sources and review dates remain identified; remote knowledge-pack updates are not included. Ask Voice Mode what changed, where package and database evidence differ, or which panel needs checking. Answers use stored evidence and explain gaps. Interface text and evidence answers follow the selected-language translation flow; availability depends on the device and translation service.

V1.2.13: A Clearer Picture Capture the details. Remember the changes. Understand the evidence. • Product Memory & Change Detection Save up to 12 distinct versions per product and compare ingredient wording, allergens, nutrition, hazard codes and reviewed panels. With Scan History enabled, rescanning preserves earlier evidence. Differences may reflect incomplete captures, different sources or recognition errors—not a confirmed reformulation. • Multi-Photo Label Capture Combine up to 8 reviewed package panels, keeping original recognized text alongside your corrections. Repeated lines are flagged for review. Photographs are retained privately when History is enabled and storage succeeds. Evidence photos, saved versions and replies are marked for exclusion from cloud backup, with explicit deletion controls. • Package vs. Database Cross-Check Choose “Review this package” from a database result to compare the real label with the saved lookup. Both sources remain separate. LB highlights literal ingredient-text differences and keeps available allergen and nutrition evidence visible without treating different wording as equivalent. • Pet Mode 2.0 Create cat and dog profiles with life stages and sensitivity terms. Review possible species mismatches, feeding declarations and broad protein descriptions. Compare two foods with the new dry-matter calculator using label moisture, protein and fat percentages. Results are approximate; text matches do not diagnose sensitivities or establish suitability, and calculations do not replace veterinary advice. • Manufacturer Reply Records Keep up to 20 written replies per product with questions, dates, claimed senders, barcode or batch details, and unanswered points. Replies remain unverified correspondence and never change ingredient warnings. Translating private text requires confirmation. Nothing is sent to manufacturers automatically. • Cleaning & Supply Use Guidance Review captured SDS excerpts covering ventilation, protective equipment, handling, storage, first aid and disposal. Selected non-English headings are now recognized. Compare saved cleaning-product composition text for recognized bleach/ammonia or bleach/acid conflicts. Missing information stays unknown, and no result certifies a mixture as safe. Always follow the real labels and current full SDS. • Traceable Database Baseline All six bundled databases now include release fingerprints, record inventories and revision metadata, with build-time validation and an in-app integrity check. This documents the existing 755 records; it does not claim new expansion or independent scientific review. • Voice That Explains Evidence Ask what changed, where package and database information disagree, or which panels still need checking. Answers use stored evidence and explain missing information. New interface text and evidence answers use the existing translation flow; speech and translation availability depend on your device, language resources and selected service.

V1.2.12: Beyond the Scan Check. Compare. Prepare. Official Recall Radar Request an online recall check from a product result. LB searches supported U.S. Food and Drug Administration, UK Food Standards Agency, or U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission sources according to the product category. Links to additional official portals include Health Canada and relevant European alert systems. Results distinguish exact product-code matches from product-name matches and show which sources were checked or could not be reached. Coverage is limited: no match is not proof of safety. Check the official notice and the real package, including the affected batch or lot. Evidence-based Product Comparison Choose two products in Scan History to compare their available sources, shared and differing ingredients, listed allergens or cautions, nutrition fields, and recognized supply hazard codes. Food scores are estimates. The comparison explains the available evidence without declaring a product universally safe or choosing a substitute for you. Manufacturer Question Builder Use Ask the Manufacturer from a product result to prepare a written request for missing or unclear information. It includes available product identifiers, broad label terms, unmatched ingredient segments, and relevant scanned hazard codes. Questions adapt to food, pet food, cosmetics, or supplies. Review the draft, then copy or share it yourself. Private notes, personal profiles, and scan history are excluded. LB prepares the questions; it does not send them automatically or verify a manufacturer response. Supply Safety 2.0 with Safety Data Sheet Coverage Cleaning and supply results now group recognized precaution codes into general guidance, prevention, response and first aid, storage, and disposal. Recognized hazard codes and label wording can identify exposure routes and signal words. For readable Safety Data Sheet text with recognized numbered English headings, LB detects sections from the standard 1-16 structure, displays excerpts from important sections, and flags critical sections not detected in the capture. This is a check of the captured text, not authentication of the document or a replacement for the complete current Safety Data Sheet. All Six Bundled Databases Updated The local food, pet-food, cosmetic, cleaning-product, art and school supply, and raw-food fiber databases have been refreshed. They contain 279 food ingredient records, 94 pet-food records, 159 cosmetic records, 80 cleaning-product records, 94 supply records, and 49 raw-food fiber references. These references support local ingredient matching, explanations, cautions, and fiber lookup. Bundled files are checked for supported structure and field values before packaging. Coverage remains limited to the included records; unmatched text still needs review.

V1.2.11: Codes, Context & Clarity - Rebuilt barcode handling with local EAN, UPC, and GTIN validation. - Added UPC-E expansion and normalized lookup alternatives. - Added support for more barcode formats. - Added GS1 element-string and Digital Link decoding for batch, serial, production, packaging, best-before, sell-by, and expiration information. - Added barcode-based date warnings with clear reminders to verify the physical package. - Non-product QR codes, websites, Wi-Fi details, and contact data are rejected before product lookup and never opened automatically. - Added optional GS1 linked-source checks with request limits, caching, response fingerprints, identifier-conflict warnings, and confirmation before opening external pages. - Added a pinned official GS1 syntax dictionary and expanded App Health diagnostics. - Improved privacy, cancellation handling, scanning reliability, and edge-case barcode normalization.

Version 1.2.10 introduces clearer voice assistance and safer, evidence-based product answers. • Choose Brief, Standard, or Detailed answers. • Ask follow-up questions using information from the current scan and trusted ingredient data. • See clearer explanations when information is missing, uncertain, or only database-reported. • Improved automatic reading, spoken warnings, ingredient grouping, pauses, and voice controls. • Added speech setup checks and session-only product conversations. • Added clearly labelled creator links and verified official app-store listings. • Additional reliability and accessibility improvements.

V1.2.9: This update makes scan results easier to verify, understand, and share while significantly expanding LB’s local safety knowledge. Review recognized label text before analysis. Correct OCR mistakes, remove unrelated text, clear the result, or retake the photo. Use the new Quick Result Navigator to jump directly to warnings, ingredients, allergens, or nutritional information. Analysis Coverage now shows how much of the parsed label matched LB’s bundled knowledge databases, including matched examples and unmatched label segments. Warnings now provide clearer explanations of why they appeared, such as ingredient knowledge, nutrition data, allergen profiles, caution profiles, or cosmetic sensitivity settings. Cleaning & Art Supplies has evolved into a broader Supply Safety system covering paints, glues, pigments, clay, dyes, solvents, resins, 3D-printing materials, soldering supplies, glitter, and more. Supply Safety can recognize GHS hazard and precaution codes, signal words, Safety Data Sheet wording, and relevant art-material safety information. Always verify the current package and official Safety Data Sheet. Supply results can optionally check the official U.S. CPSC recalls database. Possible matches must still be confirmed using the exact brand, model, date code, package, and barcode. Ingredient knowledge has been expanded across food, cosmetics, pet food, cleaning products, and art supplies, with clearer relationships and more cautious, concentration-aware explanations. The raw-food fiber reference now includes additional fruits, edamame, pistachios, and cooked sweet corn using USDA-based values per 100 grams. Copy Summary and Share Summary provide privacy-conscious scan summaries without including private notes or personal profile settings. Scan History now uses stable product identities, reducing duplicate entries when the same product is scanned again. App Health includes a private, offline Local Analysis Self-Test and clearer information about successful online requests and reused lookups. Language switching now applies more consistently across app and product text, while canceled translations can no longer overwrite a newer language selection. Performance and reliability have been improved for large labels, repeated scans, OCR, product analysis, camera handling, navigation, memory usage, and network requests. Long-running analysis now provides safe retry and return options instead of leaving users stuck on a loading screen.

V1.2.8 Focuses a lot on Voice mode, Translations & the App itself to make it better.

V1.2.7 "More than just a Hotfix" Improved ingredient detection across food, pet food, cosmetics, and cleaning product scans. Expanded the local JSON ingredient databases with more aliases, warnings, and ingredient insights, including better cosmetic detection for alcohols, aluminum/aluminium compounds, plant oils, extracts, and common label typos. Added cosmetic sensitivity filters for fragrance/parfum, drying alcohols, aluminum/aluminium compounds, exfoliating acids, and essential oils so profile settings can flag scanned INCI lists more clearly. Added an INCI position check for cosmetics, showing whether matched active or notable ingredients appear near the beginning, middle, or end of the ingredient list. Improved matching for OCR labels, slash/hyphen ingredient names, accented text, and longer ingredient phrases so scanned labels are detected more reliably. Added barcode-scan warnings so users know database results can miss ingredients, allergens, warnings, or product details and should be double-checked with the real package or a manual ingredient scan when safety matters. Added LB Blue Background mode with Bálint's bright blue accent and readable dark panels. Added clearer scroll hints on product results and scan history so users know more warnings, tools, basket summaries, reports, and saved scans are available below. Added smoother menu animations: More Options slides sideways, while Scan History and Settings slide up when opened and down when closed. Added a Universal / Auto Detect barcode scan path that checks supported product sources in safe loading stages instead of hitting every source at once. Cleaned duplicate and conflicting aliases in the JSON data so ingredient lookups are more stable.
