Which is the best app for recognising British banknotes?

By Cobbler, 6 May, 2021

Forum
iOS and iPadOS

The subject line pretty much says it all here.

I'm currently using Seeing AI, but am finding it extremely slow and picky - the note typically needs to be flat and in very good condition, which doesn't lend itself to quickly recognising notes whilst in the queue at the store.

Many thanks for any suggestions ☺️

I'd recommend using a card.

You can just put it on the scanner and you're done.

Or; you can feel the notes, a £5 note is smaller than a £10 note for example.

Why do you need a reader?

Hi,

The £5 is blank, the £10 has two groups of 4 blobs that feel like a braille g and the £20 has 3 of these g markings. No idea about a £50 but these markings are obvious. You don't even need to take them out of you're wallet or pocket.

App not required

Hi, you don't need an app for this as the notes are of a different size and they have have dots on them, so you can identify each note by touch! The £50 has 4 dots on it.

Dots

Hi,

yeph that would be logical. Slightly off topic but I wonder why the £5 doesn't have 1 block to start the sequence.
