23 OCT 2025 - We are back! If you have been following us over the last few years, you will know that the last 2 months have been rough. We website was practically not loading. Sorry for the mess. We are back though and everything should run smoothly now. New servers. Updated domains. And new owners. We invite you all to start uploading torrents again!
BarcodeReader-ActiveX is an ActiveX component that gives you complete information about a barcode by scanning its image. With no delay you'll be able to know all main parameters of each barcode, such as its type, text, coordinates, raw data, etc. The component reads corrupted barcodes, has a great performance and is very easy to distribute.BarcodeReader-ActiveX is designed to decode all major barcode types: Interleaved 2/5, Code 39, Code 39 Extended, Code 128, Code 11, Codabar, EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A and UPC-E. The component supports multiple processing, so it can read all barcodes from an image simultaneously. It can also read barcodes with no quiet zone, which allows it to correctly recognize all barcodes regardless of their position (canted, upside-down, etc.).The refined scanning engine doesn't require an image to be clear. It'll successfully read barcodes from blurred, noisy and low resolution images. In case a barcode itself is corrupted (torn or crumpled), it's not a problem either. BarcodeReader will read it. What's more, it can recognize barcodes printed on most of the surfaces, including plastic and distorted ones.For those whose application can read from a camera, the data stream support feature can come in handy. Not only does the component read barcodes from images but it also allows you to specify a data stream as a source. In that case, saving images to files won't be needed.All the features of BarcodeReader-ActiveX are accurately delivered in one tiny .dll file making the component easy to distribute. You will also find no problems with using the component in any environment like Visual C++, Visual Basic, VB .NET and C#. It can be smoothly integrated with any ActiveX container, e.g. IExplorer or MS Office applications. Along with the component, you'll find the sample source code for C/C++, Visual Basic, etc.BarcodeReader ActiveX main features:Decodes all popular barcode types: Interleaved 2/5, Code 39, Code 39 Extended, Code 128, Code 11, Codabar, EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E.It can read all barcodes from an image at a time independently of the orientation and location of the barcode.High performance rate and valid barcode decoding. It reads torn, crumpled barcodes and also barcodes corrupted in other ways. Decodes barcodes printed on various surfaces - plastic surfaces, distorted surfaces, etc.Returns the main parameters of each barcode: barcode type, barcode text, raw data, barcode coordinates, etc.Can decode barcodes both from a file and from a data stream, i.e. if your application reads images from a camera, there is no need to save these images to files.Extremely easy to use in any software environment: Visual C++, Visal Basic, VB .NET, C#, etc.Easy to distribute because it consists of only one .dll file about 190 KB in size.Includes sample source code for C/C++, Visual Basic, Script, etc.Can be used in any ActiveX container (IE, Word, Excel, etc.) and can display the image and decoding results.Does not require the barcode to have a quiet zone. That is why it can read incorrectly positioned barcodes.Can read barcodes from noisy and blurred images.Processes low resolution images.Can search only part of image for barcodes.
