Product Overview
A Robust Barcode Scanner SDK with Flexible APIs for Linear, QR Code, PDF417, and More
Easily Implement Barcode Scanning on All Platforms
Dynamsoft Barcode Reader enables developers to quickly implement 1D and 2D barcode scanning into their applications running on different platforms. On top of scanning linear barcodes, it can function as a powerful QR Code reader or a 2D imager.

Barcode Scanning at a Speed of 500+ per Minute
Dynamsoft's barcode scanning SDK is the best in the industry. It can easily handle various scenarios, including:
- Scanning video streams on mobile phones
- Scanning static images from high-resolution industrial cameras
- Scanning large images and PDF files in an automated desktop service
Dynamsoft Barcode Reader SDK also has a leading edge on reading multiple or dozens of barcodes at once. This can greatly boost efficiency, especially when it comes to industrial manufacturing and inventory management where speed is important.

Scan Unreadable Barcodes and QR Codes
Dynamsoft's enterprise-grade barcode reader SDK is a robust solution for decoding the most challenging barcodes. It can easily handle various tough codes that are:
- Curved
- Tiny
- Marked Up
- Angled
- With Glare
- Wrinkled
- In Shadow
- Incomplete
- Dense
- In Low Light
With customized scanning parameters, application developers can read damaged barcodes easily, significantly improving barcode recognition accuracy and decoding rate. Manual human reviews can be eliminated to cut costs and streamline processes.

QR Code Reading Rate Benchmark Comparison
Dynamsoft Barcode Reader is a robust and reliable QR Code SDK. With an enterprise-grade barcode detection algorithm, OCR capabilities, and the addition of camera enhancing functionality, it is much more accurate and recognizes more QR Codes than the industry's 2nd best.
