1 The wasm file size is of version 8.1.2. In other versions, the size may differ.
2 For the scenario where a user only needs to scan a barcode once, the Compact Edition is recommended as it downloads and compiles faster. For scenarios where a user needs to continuously scan many barcodes or where specific uncommon barcodes or advanced features are required, use the Full Edition by simply setting the following before you call loadWasm() or CreateInstance().
Dynamsoft.DBR.BarcodeReader._bUseFullFeature = true;
System Requirements
This library requires some advanced features supported by all modern mainstream browsers:
-
WebAssembly,Blob,URL/createObjectURL,Web WorkersThese four features are required for the library to work.
-
MediaDevices/getUserMediaThis is only required for in-browser video streaming. If a browser does not support this API, “Single Frame Mode” will be used automatically. If the API exists but doesn’t work correctly, “Single Frame Mode” can be used as an alternative.
The following table is a list of supported browsers:
| Browser Name | Version |
|---|---|
| Chrome | v57+ (v59+ on Android/iOS1) |
| Firefox | v52+ (v55+ on Android/iOS1) |
| Edge2 | v16+ |
| Safari3 | v11+ |
1 iOS 14.3+ is required for camera video streaming in Chrome and Firefox or Apps using webviews.
2 On Edge, due to strict Same-origin policy, you must host the library on the same domain as your webpage.
3 Safari 11.2.2 ~ 11.2.6 are not supported.
NOTE
Apart from the browsers, the operating systems running on the target devices may impose some limitations of their own that could restrict the use of the library. Browser compatibility ultimately depends on whether the browser on that particular operating system supports the features listed above.
Yes
No
