Barcorama - barcode reader software [Updated 11/Jan/09]
Hey everybody!

I'm creating this thread to keep the Barcorama related discussion in a dedicated thread. The discussion spawned here.

Barcorama is a Zxing-based (http://code.google.com/p/zxing/) barcode reader software developed by me in C#. The program's main purpose is to provide a free (and hopefully powerful) tool in the consumer's toolchain!

Feel free to try out and comment on it.

The tool is being developed on my Kaiser, so any feedback on how it performs on other devices is welcomed!

Basic Usage:

a. Press the "Shoot" button to launch the phones camera wizard and take a photo of the barcode by pressing the front "OK" button, or the normal side-shoot button. Barcorama will return automatically upon capture and try to recognize the code.

b. Press the "Open" button to launch the file dialog and navigate/select a previously taken photo. Again, after loading the photo, recognition starts.

After a successful recognition, a popup message may ask whether to run the specified external program with the recognized code. The program along with its arguments is specified in the settings. The code will be inserted wherever the !###! string is be found (may be multiple times).

In general, my tests show that the autofocus camera feature seems to achieve a good result when holding the phone more then 5cm away from the target.

Source code is available here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/barcorama/
or download the trunk snapshot here: http://barcorama.svn.sourceforge.net...ar.gz?view=tar

Features:

-- Recognizes 1D and 2D barcodes. See the google page for details. Version 0.3 is currently incorporated.

-- Runs an external program to pass the recognized code

Requirements:

- NETCF v2.0

ChangeLog:

v0.8a"
-- Reintroduced the "Live" mode (thanks to WiMo project), where continuous capturing is performed (low resolution only, thanks to HTC... )
-- Experimental Autofocus tweak! Manually triggering the autofocus capability so to make the "Live" mode usable. Warning: not all devices/roms will be compatible!

v0.7a:
-- Better File open method
-- Minor interface changes

v0.6:
-- Elastic GUI layout. Supporting landscape mode and greater resolutions.

v0.5c:
- Bugfix: Normal handling of spaces in external program's path and arguments
- Added a program icon (thanx nibblah)

v0.5b:
- Bugfix: proper saving/loading of external program settings.

v0.5
- Can now run an external program passing the recognized barcode.

v0.4d
- Small fix for QR decoding

v0.4c
- Upgraded ZXing to 0.4.5 for 1D barcodes (only)

v0.4b
- Fixed a nasty bug that disabled EAN and UPC codes!

v0.4
- Able to individually select what barcode types to try
- Option for selecting whether automatic return from the Camera application is desired. When not selected, the user has to manually exit the Camera application, beign able this way to recapture before decode
- Added a clickable link in the About page to easily reach this forum
- Black appearance

v0.3b
- Incorporated a ZXing bugfix regarding code-39 decoding
- Added a popup question to copy a recognized code into the clipboard

v0.3
- Tweaked usage of the .net camera API. Using a file based method to detect when the capture was performed.
- Automatically returning back to the application after the user shoots the photo. No second "OK" is needed.
- Better UI behavior by using background thread for camera capture and image decoding
- Various bugfixes


Known Issues:

-- False recognitions (encountered some EAN13 faults)
-- 3megapixel photos cannot be loaded
-- No SIP selection
-- Limited FileOpenDialog. Does not browse subdirectories
-- After shooting, image appears 90-degrees counter-clockwise rotated. Recognition works though.

Have fun!

P.S Please, if you encounter a bug/problem, report it and add your hardware/software configuration, or fill your signature with such info. Reporting of successful trials is also welcomed

Removed: The "speedy" version was removed as it was not functioning on par with the "normal" version...

Added a cab file that includes the .exe and creates a Start Menu shortcut. The shortcut seems to be missing the proper icon and perhaps it won't work in Non-English installations. Removed the ..v07a.zip as the cab seems stable.

Thanks.

I also wanted to know if you know how i can delete some programs out of

the windows folder like the games and office app?

[santod]

Generally, you cannot remove programs that were preinstalled(in Rom). The only way to get rid of any stock software is to install a stripped Rom or one that only has what you want. Which could be made in a kitchen. However you sound like you are fairly new to this scene and may want to wait before doing anything that involved. Get used to the device and changing things around a bit before deciding to do anything more.

[Mrwatch921]

Well i use to have a Verizon XV6800 and i was able to delete those and i

thought this device would be the same but i forgot how to do a lot of stuff

on windows mobile because i haven't had it for like 2 years i just came from a

storm which i also have.






Also have you used that Barcorama?

[darren.wlsn1]

I kind of see this one is a lot different then the htc made smartphones

so is it that you just don't think you would be able to do that with this one?
