Introduction

What is Barcode Xpress

Barcode Xpress for iOS is an SDK which allows you to build applications for iOS phones with barcode recognition capabilities. Barcode Xpress allows you to read a wide variety of 1D and 2D supported barcode types.

A sample app is included to get you started. The sample opens a viewfinder window and allows you to scan a barcode, as is shown in the screenshot below:



Once a barcode is recognized by Barcode Xpress for iOS, a callback is fired. The sample app uses this callback to pop up a recognition window.

The image below shows a 1D code being read by Barcode Xpress for iOS.



You can see the UPC-A barcode in the red box. Below the barcode image is the type, time to decode and data contained in the barcode.

Depending on the needs of your application, you could do a search for this UPC code (for a price comparison application) or add it to a database record for this customer (for a shopping list application).

Similarly, this image shows a QR code being read by Barcode Xpress for iOS.



Again, depending on the needs of your application, you could go to this URL, display it as a link, or send it to a backend system.

Barcode Xpress for iOS is licensed software; if you do not have a paid license, the last character of the decoded barcode will be replaced with an asterisk as shown below.
