Apps for product recognition

What apps are people using for product recognition? For example, to scan a product bar code and hear VoiceOver identify the product? I have always used Seeing AI for this, but lately, it fails to work about half the time, and VoiceOver says "Not recognized". So I'm open to trying another app.

Sorry I'm not providing a solution. I am also looking for answers. Seeing AI seems to have sped up barcode searching to the point where it doesn't work more often than it does. I had been complaining that it didn't know many products, but my recent testing indicates that it often says "not-recognized" for a product it just identified just fine. So sometimes trying repeatedly helps, but other times it doesn't. It'd be nice if the app let you copy the scanned barcode to the clipboard.

I've mainly used Seeing AI but SuperSense seems okay too. I was only able to use the free version of that app though, due to financials. I have one of those goose-neck desk lamps now, and that seems to help but Seeing AI might need another update one of these years. I saw another free app like this briefly mentioned elsewhere, called Sullivan Plus or something like that. Has anyone tried that one out? I searched for it here on AppleVis but couldn't find it.
