Barcode Reader Software with support for both x86 and x64 versions of Windows using .net, dll, com, ocx and java interfaces.

The Softek Barcode Reader Toolkit for Windows is an SDK that enables applications to extract barcode information from images. The API’s available in the toolkit include .net, java, com, ocx and windows dll. The standard version of the barcode reader software includes support for both 1 and 2-D barcodes and special features include the ability to split documents by barcode position.

The Windows Barcode Reader SDK is typically used in an application that scans documents containing printed barcodes. The application calls a function in the barcode reader toolkit to extract the barcode value for an image and then uses this value as a key for a database table. The barcode reader SDK can also be used in applications that need to detect barcodes in images from cameras.

Evaluate with the Softek SDK Demo
If you are evaluating the SDK then the first thing you might wish to do is test out your images with the SoftekSDKDemo application. This is quick and easy with our demo application which displays image files, allows you to alter the settings in the toolkit and displays details of any barcodes found in an image. Since the SDK has image clean up capabilities there are many setting which can be used to improve read rates on otherwise unreliable barcodes.
