I have to admit I don’t use phone apps that much and even after my kids show me some really cool things about the many apps they have on their phone I just never really got into them. That is until I found the Scoutlook hunting app a few years ago and used it to locate a stand that has produced three good bucks. I used ScoutLook’s ScentCone® feature to locate a stand site in a great funnel on public land and the stand is my favorite to date. I was telling a friend about the Scoutlook Weather app

They can also scan coupons into their phone to get deals on items. Another interesting possible application would be local grocery stores utilizing this type of image and product recognition technology some day. When a grocery store integrates this technology into their store app, it would let consumers create a list of things they wish to buy simply by pointing and shooting with their smartphone camera. The Slyce image recognition technology running in the background of this app will then match item after item and easily create a list for the customer before going out to the store. The ability to search for coupons, create a shopping list, discover information about products, or to instantly find and buy a particular item online, all with a simple smartphone camera photo, is the exciting future that the innovative start-up Slyce is working hard to bring us
