Hi Chris,
sure you can import any photo from the iPhone camera with:
...
iPhonePickPhoto "camera", [ maxwidth, [ maxheight ] ]
...
But I have a feeling that this is not what you are looking for

Well thanks Klaus, but you're feeling is good
In fact, i just want to capture the gencod (in english not sure... eerr perhaps bar code ? ean ?) photo, and recognize the numbers composing the gencod, so i can use it as a text

Hi Chris,
yes, i think "barcode" is the correct english term.
But I am afraid you cannot "recognize" the code easily with the build-in capabilities of LiveCode.

Hi Chrius,
don't exspect OCR before version >8 in LiveCode!
You could do some math with the IMAGEDATA of an image, if you really like to,
but I have no idea about this stuff.
Please check these URLS, maybe there is something that gets you started:
