What kind of barcode reader? You can use a wasp barcode reader to scan barcodes and it will send the barcode data over via ps2/usb.

Or are you talking about OCR recognition of barcodes in image files? I use Atalasoft's barcode ocr library for image detection. They have a runtime royalty free license where most ocr library vendors don't.

hello scott.
actually i am very new to this barcode scanner world.
i want to develop an application (attendance system) which will use a thum reader which will be connected to computer via a usb cable. and another application which will track stock(Purchase and sale) via scanning the barcodes of the products.
so in both these applications i dont know how to start with barcodes and thumb reader. i have no device yet for thumb reading and barcode reading.
so plz help me from the start , i will be really thankfull to you .

Best regards.

A hardware barcode scanner will interpret the barcode for you and return a string. It's dead easy, just like reading from standard console input.
