Barcode Scanner Plus for Android from Sean Owen of ZXing Team
This is a powerful application developed by Sean Owen of the ZXing Team. It utilizes your device's camera to scan various types of barcodes. By scanning product barcodes, you can access pricing information and reviews. Additionally, when scanning QR Codes and other two-dimensional barcodes, you can retrieve contact information, bookmarks, website links, and more.
This platform is an enhanced version of the popular and free version, which is based on the ZXing open-source barcode scanning library from Google. Developed by Sean Owen, one of the primary authors of the original Scanner, this app includes all the functionalities of its predecessor and serves as a drop-in replacement.
The app offers improved barcode scanning capabilities, thanks to a new image processing algorithm that detects 1D barcode formats like UPC and EAN product codes. It utilizes both cores of dual-core processors and provides the option to scan Aztec and PDF417 barcodes (please note that PDF417 support is in an 'alpha' quality state). Barcode Scanner+ is optimized to take advantage of Java 6, Android 2.2+ APIs, and the latest features of the Android SDK.
