Barcode Scanners

I normally don’t leave reviews, but this app is perfect. It does exactly what it’s supposed to. No ads in your face. Features I like: - continuous scanner mode - auto google search - targeting mode - scan history - duplicate delay My current setup is “continuous scanning” + “duplicate delay = 5 seconds”. I can scan a bunch of tightly packed codes without locking onto the same one over and over again. Results appear in the UI overlay without notifying me each time. It’s great! It also seems to support a ton of types (like DataMatrix) as well as parsers. I haven’t tried these out yet, but I’ll try them out later when I’m feeling bored. The UPS parser looks interesting. I’m a software developer and I understand this is a demo for their SDK. If I ever need a scanner library, I’m definitely going to look into these guys.

For years I had been looking for a decent DMC scanner and downloaded probably a half dozen, none of which really worked well for everything. I stumbled across this app (when it was still called Manatee) about two years ago. Since then, I’ve used it for barcodes and data matrix codes alike, down to a size of around a ballpoint pen tip. I don’t usually rave about apps, but this is the only review I’ve ever written for one — I’ve been that impressed. For those looking for something simple that reads everything, this is the app. (For those not totally happy with the app — there are some settings that might need to be adjusted. I had to enable multi-angle reading, for instance, and also changed the time before trying another focus.) (I am in no way supported by, affiliated with, or requested from Cognex to write this review — it’s been a long time coming and I wanted to share my opinion.)
