NOT EXPIRED
DATE CONFIRMED
Scan
ExpirySight analyzes visible text and searches for recognized date formats.
Confirm
The detected date is displayed clearly with a simple sorting indicator.
SCANNING MODES
Three ways to scan.
Companion
Focus directly on a single expiry date for precise scanning and confirmation.
Scout
Search a larger portion of the package automatically when the expiry date is difficult to locate.
Batch
Detect and track multiple visible expiry dates at the same time for faster sorting.
PERFORMANCE
Designed for fast scanning.
LIVE
Camera scanning
ExpirySight analyzes incoming camera frames continuously while scanning.
~8 ms
Internal processing
Some internal processing stages have completed in as little as approximately 8 milliseconds during testing (using an iPhone from 2021)
MULTI-FRAME
Verification
Multiple frames can be compared before a date is confirmed, helping reduce incorrect detections.
Actual performance varies by device, lighting, camera quality, product movement, and label clarity (it doesn't need to be perfect but it can't be in a dark room or super flashy).
COLOUR CODING
Results at a glance.
GREEN
Not expired
The printed date is today or in the future.
YELLOW
Recently passed
The printed date has passed by less than one year.
RED
One year or more
The printed date is at least one year in the past.
Colour coding is intended as a sorting indicator only and does not determine whether food is safe to consume.
PRIVACY
Built to collect as little as possible.
ExpirySight does not require an account. Camera access is used for scanning, and the scanner is designed to process images on the device rather than uploading scanned product images to our servers.
