VeganChecker: Support

How to use the app:

1. Select on the top right whether you want to include or ignore ingredients that may or may not be animal derived (by pressing the button).

2.  Bring your phone close to a list of ingredients.

3. Press the 'Take Pic' photo at the bottom

4. Wait as the app scans the image and then analyzes the text, and the result will appear.

5. Press the result to clear it, but it will go away on its own if you keep scanning.

Frequently Asked Questions:

• Why is it taking so long to output the result?

  • Because of third parties used to scan the image and analyze the text, the API calls may take some time depending on what is occurring on their end. However on average the result it outputted within a few seconds.

• What about products that are tested on animals but all their ingredients are vegan?

  • Unfortunately that is not the purpose of the app, as it only looks at the ingredients. Adding this feature also comes with difficulty because there is not data on every single company selling products on whether they test their products on animals.

• What about scanning ingredients in my language?

  • I am currently working on adding translation for every language, but it is difficult and may not be very reliable due to the limited translation ability and wide variety of names for ingredients found abroad as well as unique ingredients that may not be included in the animal derived ingredient database.
