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 Code 39, Code 128, EAN-8, EAN-13, UPC-A and UPC-E codes, as well as Quick Response (QR) codes.

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:

Initial scanning

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

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

1D Decoding

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.

QR Decoding

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.
