Overview

Typing in those codes under the bottle caps of coca cola is time consuming. What if you could just use an app that lets you take a picture of the code then automatically enter that code for you?

I've found out that if you place the cap on a bright flashlight or light source so that the light shines through the cap, through the code, then into the camera it can usually take a great image of the cap.

So the app will do this: You should first already have a My Coke Rewards account and tie it to your phone via SMS so you can manually text codes to coke OK.

First you start the app and it will launch directly into camera mode. You take a picture of the code by pressing the shutter button. Then it will OCR the code and show you what it thinks it saw in a text box. If it's right you just tap OK button and it will text that code over SMS to my coke rewards number. It will then go back to camera mode so you can take a picture of the next code.

If the code didn't OCR correctly you can easily make a change in that text box then click OK.

If the app can't OCR it all because the picture is bad it should show that as a message and go back to camera mode to take the picture again.
