LEADTOOLS Linear 1D Symbols Barcode is available as an add-on module to any of the LEADTOOLS  Document, Imaging Pro, Vector, Mobile and Medical toolkits

The LEADTOOLS Linear 1D Barcode SDK is the most comprehensive read and write 1D barcode SDK available. LEAD's staff of barcode experts is constantly monitoring for new symbols to be added and researching new algorithms to make recognition more accurate and faster. No matter if you need to read legacy Modified Plessey codes, or if you need to have your application ready for the 2010 global conversion from UPC and EAN symbols to GS1 DataBar symbols, LEADTOOLS has what you need.

Fast Barcode Detection

LEADTOOLS barcode recognition is very fast; it outperforms most hardware-supported barcode read products. This software engine permits fast document scanners to maintain full speed while performing barcode recognition operations on the fly for document-indexing purposes.

Developers have the ability to provide optional configuration settings affecting the detection speed, including number of barcodes expected, barcode orientation, and potential location of barcodes. This flexibility in search parameters can improve the speed of barcode detection.
