[Bug 1937] Scan barcode with webcam
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=1937 David Cook <dcook@prosentient.com.au> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |dcook@prosentient.com.au --- Comment #5 from David Cook <dcook@prosentient.com.au> --- We did a demo with this for the Koha self checkout so that people in remote libraries could self-checkout using their phones. My first version used https://github.com/zxing-js/library but we found results varied heavily between different devices. I got quite good at doing it with my web camera and my phone camera, but sometimes it wouldn't work that well, and a lot of test users struggled to get the phone camera to focus on the barcode well enough for the Javascript to capture and interpret the barcode. We later integrated with a commercial product called Scandit which was very effective, but it has a pay per use agreement. I think it leveraged server-side processing as well. (At some point, it looks like browsers may have native barcode reading support: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Barcode_Detection_API) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
