The code you want would be like a OCR application, and would require a bit of special processing to work. Hi contrast, sharpening, THEN the character recognition, which should work at different angles.
My point is this is not trivial code. After I made these statements, I did a web search<http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=bar+code+recognition&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8>for "bar code recognition" -- there seem to be quite a few SDK's for this now. But that mean you would still have to assemble or compile in a low level language or commission someone to build it it for LIvecode, that's the critical path. And if you want to 'roll your own from scratch' - take a look at this link below which appears to be a complete description of how to interpret barcodes in code: http://book.realworldhaskell.org/read/barcode-recognition.html Good psedocode examples. it almost looks "do-able" in Livecode. and here's a JAVASCRIPT demo: (revbrowser?) http://tobeytailor.s3.amazonaws.com/get_barcode_from_image/index.html and the code for above https://gist.github.com/421369 sqb On 6 December 2011 23:49, paolo mazza <mazzapaoloit...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Nicolas, > I went through the Sara's Stacks: > > BarcodeTester > A very simple stack that reads data from a keyboard wedge barcode scanner. > It allows you to check the raw data transmitted by the scanner as well as > the ASCII data. > Category: UtilityLast Updated: Wed, Apr 29, 2009 > > Barcodes > A utility that converts text into the ASCII codes to generate Code128 > subset > A barcodes.
