I think Flutter is vital for developers. Not only it supports fast building Android and iOS apps from a single codebase, but also it is used for building the upcoming Google Fuchsia apps. Like React Native and Cordova, the Flutter ecosystem consists of amounts of plugins, which empower Flutter apps, especially for platform-specific functionalities. In this article, I will share how to create a simple Flutter barcode plugin with Dynamsoft Barcode Reader SDK from scratch.

Python Barcode Decoding on Non-Python Created Thread
Dynamsoft Barcode Reader 7.0 brings a set of thread-based APIs for continuous frame management and corresponding barcode decoding. It extremely simplifies the programming complexity, especially for Python. It is known that Python’s GIL (Global Interpreter Lock) affects the performance in a multi-threaded scenario. Running computation intensive tasks in Python thread cannot improve the Python app performance. If you create a Python barcode scanner app with OpenCV and Dynamsoft Barcode Reader 6.x, Python multiprocessing is the only way for getting a high camera frame rate. With the thread-based APIs of Dynamsoft Barcode Reader 7.x, your Python apps will not be limited by GIL anymore. This tutorial shares how to integrate the thread-based C/C++ APIs into Python barcode extension.
Using Android NDK to Optimize Barcode Reading Performance
Previously, I shared an article demonstrating how to use Camera2 APIs and Dynamsoft Barcode Reader to build a simple Android barcode reader app. In that demo project, the barcode decoding part is implemented in Java, which apparently has room for improvement. If we can get the pointer to the native buffer of the camera frame, we can invoke native Barcode Reader APIs directly. This article shares how to write JNI code for Android barcode detection, as well as how to use Android NDK and CMake to build the C++ code.
Bundling Dynamsoft JavaScript Barcode Library with Webpack
Webpack is a JavaScript module bundler. It is widely used in web frameworks, such as React and Angular. This tutorial shows how to implement a simple web barcode reading app with webpack and Dynamsoft JavaScript Barcode library.
Making a Barcode Scan Robot with Lego Boost and Webcam
If you want to quickly create a walking robot, you can use the Lego Boost. In this post, I will share how to use a webcam, Lego Boost, and Dynamsoft Barcode Reader SDK to make a robot for scanning barcodes. The programming language used in this article is Python.
Android Barcode Detection from Fast Moving Objects
Assume you apply barcode technology to the logistics conveyor belt for scanning parcels. A problem you may face is how to recognize barcodes from blurred images. Although we can use advanced algorithms to deal with this complicated case, we’d better improve the image quality as possible as we can. A simple way is to adjust the camera shutter speed which is also known as exposure time. Faster shutter speed can avoid motion blur. In this post, I will share how to invoke Android Camera2 APIs to change the shutter speed, as well as how to build a simple Android barcode reader to decode barcodes from fast-moving objects
Moving Heavy Computation from Raspberry Pi to Windows PC
If you want to use Raspberry Pi as an economical way of detecting barcodes, you can take account for Dynamsoft Barcode Reader SDK. As a business software, Dynamsoft Barcode Reader SDK is designed for overcoming a variety of complicated scenarios with sophisticated algorithms and heavy computations. Although the SDK is flexible for customizing algorithm parameters, subject to the low-frequency CPU of Raspberry Pi, the tradeoff between recognition accuracy and detection speed is still a big challenge. In this article, I will use Socket client-server model as a substitute solution. Thanks to Sabjorn’s NumpySocket module.
How to Build Web Barcode Scanner Using React and Webcam
Someone asked me how to create a real-time web barcode scanning app with a webcam. Is it hard to implement it? I’ve written an article sharing how to integrate Dynamsoft JavaScript Barcode Reader SDK into a React project. The remaining work is to make a webcam component. Since there is an open source project called react-webcam, we don’t need to reinvent the wheel. In this article, I will share how to build a web barcode scanner step by step.
How to Use Python and PyQt to Read Barcodes from Webcam
In my previous article, I shared how to use PyQt and Dynamsoft Barcode Reader to create a simple Windows-styled GUI app to read barcodes from image files. Now I am going to add a little bit more code to scan barcodes from the webcam video stream.
How to Build Python Barcode Apps with Qt on Windows
Qt for Python enables developers to quickly create GUI apps on Windows, Linux and macOS with one codebase. In this article, I will share how to build a Python barcode reader with Qt on Windows. Since Dynamsoft Barcode Reader SDK is also cross-platform, it is easy for you to reuse the sample code on Linux and macOS.
