We’re pleased to announce the release of BardecodeFiler version 2.6.1.1. The main highlight of this release is the new way of presenting information in the main output window. Gone is the free format text output, replaced by a tree structure that allows the user to explore the results from a batch and review previous batches
We’re pleased to announce that version 8.3.3.5 of the Windows barcode reader SDK has been released. This version has significant speed improvements to datamatrix recognition and enhanced support for datamatrix barcodes printed in a dotted pattern. Here’s the full list of changes: Fix for random barcode coordinates when MultipleRead is not enabled. Fix for false
The Softek Barcode Reader SDK and our BardecodeFiler Windows application both use ‘regex’ pattern matching for matching barcode values. We often get asked advice on how to build a regex so we thought a short guide to the basics might be useful. Here is a simple example: ^\d{5}$ So let’s break it down: ^
The following script can be used for barcode testing on Linux in a similar way to the test option in SoftekSDKDemo (using the same options): echo “Test only with supplied options” r=`./bardecode $*` if test -n “$r” then echo “Found barcode: $r” exit fi echo “Test: Small quiet zones around barcodes (-q 10)” r=`./bardecode -q
QR Codes are versatile containers for all sorts of data and have Kanji character encoding built into the specification, but what about simplified or traditional Chinese? This article attempts to explain the different ways it can be done and why the interpretation of a QR Code can be application specific… One solution is just to
Version 8.3.3.3 of our barcode reader SDK for Windows has been released. This should be of particular interest to developers using Chinese characters in QR Codes and anyone reading PDF417 barcodes. 1. Performance improvement for images with certain types of repeated pattern. 2. Fix for recognition of Kanji characters using the Kanji byte compaction scheme
If you are handling binary data in barcodes such as you find in some 2-D barcodes (PDF417, QrCode or DataMatrix) then the following method will allow you to create a byte array that contains the original binary data from the barcode – including all the null and 8-bit values. 1. Using Quoted printable Encoding barcode.Encoding
Here’s a quick example of how to create and build a simple C++ program that calls the basic Bardecode C library functions… It’s assumed that you have already downloaded the Linux version of our SDK and are working in the installation folder. The code: #include using namespace std; extern “C” { #include “include/barcode.h” } int
BardecodeFiler Version 2.5.1.1 has been released. This version processes large files in the desktop interface much faster. For example, a 6000 page PDF file should process at at least 2X the speed of version 2.4.
You probably thought nobody used fax anymore. Well think again because it’s still going strong in some sectors. In the case where fax is received directly onto a server then the sending fax machines become remote scanners, and if you combine this with the power of barcodes then you have the capability to file images
