Hello
The vision is I either (a) take a picture of the Nutrition Info label or (2) scan the bar code of the food item...
and import the numbers into MFP...
is there such an app or feature? THE KEY IS THE DATA GETTING IMPORTED DIRECTLY INTO MFP! I do know there are few that exist for other websites and phones!
Please advise!

Ummm - like the barcode scanner on the MFP app? Because that does exist. Click on the barcode next to the search box next time you're using the app - then scan your barcode - and magic - there it is.0

Thanks...that answers half my question...i get a lot of ethnic foods that doesn't have the bar code...hence the direct image question? Also the app doesn't work properly on my phone (something with an older operating system!) ...so u wouldn't know abt image to text option?Ummm - like the barcode scanner on the MFP app?
