I would pay $100 for something like this. I want to just scan something, have it beep, and add to a shopping list. I know amazon has something similar but I don't want to order it, just log it. Excellent project.

The Android app "Out of Milk" will do this for free using the phone's camera.
How good is the scanning speed? I've tried a few apps which will scan a barcode, but they all seem quite slow. If I buy 50 items at the store, I don't want to fiddle with it for 10 minutes to get everything scanned in, I'd like to buzz through them relatively fast.
It is a bit slow, sadly.
