Use cases

  • Dynamsoft's Barcode Reader can be applied in many use cases, for example, batch automation, form processing and webcam barcode detection.
  • For batch automation, when scanning a batch, barcodes can be used as separators between files or as classification information to decide which folder each particular image is saved to. In many cases, the barcode value is used as the filename.
  • For form processing, in some cases, a large 2D barcode encrypts all the completed information of a form. This could save possible manual typing or OCR.
  • Finally, for webcams and barcode detection, we can look at driver's license as an example. A webcam attached to a PC can be used to capture the PDF417 code of the license. Dynamsoft's Barcode Reader SDK can then decode the information, which might include height, hair color and more.
