NTRODUCING BARCODE READING

Next to optical character recognition of 125 languages, Readiris
also offers barcode reading. Barcodes can either be recognized
manually or automatically when they are used for indexing
purposes.

All widespread barcode symbologies are supported: Codabar, Code
128, Code 39, Code 39 extended, Code 39 HIBC, Code 93, Discrete
2 of 5, EAN-13, EAN-2, EAN-5, EAN-8, Interleaved 2 of 5, MSI
pharmaceutical, MSI-Plessey, Kodak patch code, PDF-417,
PostNet, PostNet 32, PostNet 52, PostNet 62, UCC-128, UPC-A
and UPC-E.

Note that laser printed and inkjet printed barcodes are required in
order for Readiris to perform OCR. Matrix printed barcodes are not
supported as they do not produce sufficient contrast and their
resolution is mostly limited to 60 dpi.
