Through information technology research, BEP found that a mobile application–specifically a native app– could be an interim solution while banknotes were made accessibile.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"toc1\"\u003e\u003ca name=\"x-What We Did\"\u003e\u003c/a\u003eWhat We Did\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing created an iPhone application utilizing the phone’s native camera to scan U.S. banknotes and communicate the denomination to the user.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo special alignment is required. EyeNote was designed to work when the banknote is held in one hand and the mobile device is in the other hand–real life conditions–front, back, at an angle, or partially covered by a hand. The user scans (takes a picture) of the bill and the app speaks the denomination as well as displays it in large numbers. EyeNote works on the iPhone, newer iPod Touch and the iPad 2. BEP chose iOS (iPhone) because of the accessibility features built into the devices and available to apps. Please note the application does not authenticate a note as either real or counterfeit.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"toc2\"\u003e\u003ca name=\"x-How It Worked\"\u003e\u003c/a\u003eHow It Worked\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEyenote has been downloaded 4,400 times since its debut October 15, 2010.
