Barcode Recognition SDK - PDF417, QR, DataMatrix, Code39, Code128

Barcode Reader Command Line Application (BarcodeReaderCLI)

BarcodeReaderCLI reads 1D, 2D and Driver License barcodes from local and Web-based image and PDF files.

Executing on both Windows and Linux, BarcodeReaderCLI support modern deployment technologies, such as VM, IaaS, PaaS, FaaS, serverless, and containers.

The BarcodeReaderCLI can be executed from the command line, a shell script or any programming language.

Barcode Decoding

Maximize the usability of the barcode data and simplify application development. BarcodeReaderCLI automatically identifies the appropriate data presentation and provides it to the application.
Parse Driver License barcode to extract essential data, including user name, address, date-of-birth, DL number, expiration date.
Unicode presentation of barcodes containing text in any language (including Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Arabic, Russian and others)
Automatically decompresses barcodes from Adobe® LiveCycle® forms.
Consolidates multiple 2D barcodes using structured append (including MacroPDF47) into a single barcode data.

Prerequisites

Windows 64-bit. Windows 7 and later, Windows Server: 2008 R2 and later.
Linux x86-64
On Windows: Install curl in the Window PATH.

Runtime Environment

Virtual Machine, Virtual Desktop, Virtual Application (VMware, Citrix, etc.)
Cloud Computing (IaaS) (Amazon EC2, Azure VM, etc.)
Cloud Computing (PaaS) (AWS Elastic Beanstalk, Azure Service Apps, etc.)
Serverless Computing (FaaS) (AWS Lambda, Azure Function, Google Cloud Function, etc.)
Containers (CaaS) (Docker, Kubernetes, etc.)

Available for both Windows and Linux.
Security. All barcode reading is done locally. User documents never leave customer's premisses.
Easily invoked from:
1. Command line.
2. A shell script, where output can be piped to the next application for processing.
3. Any programming language by creating a subprocess.
  Code examples are provided in Java, Node.js, PHP, Python, Ruby, C#, C++, Go
4. Web Server code to build a WEB Application API
Run barcode recognition:
1. as a serverless (FaaS) applications. (e.g., AWS Lambda, Azure Function, Google Cloud Function, etc.)
2. in a container (e.g. Docker)
3. in PaaS environment (AWS Elastic Beanstalk, Azure Service Apps, etc.)
4. in any virtualization environment (Desktop, workspace and application level) (e.g. Citrix)
5. as a microservice
Highly optimized for both high barcode recognition rate and high barcode reading speed.
1. Takes advantage of multicore-CPUs through multi-threading and multi-processing.
2. Additional recognition rate and/or reading speed improvements for customer-specific image
  with Inlite's Target Barcode Recognition (TBR) technology.
Optimization per customer requirements:
1. Use of Unicode file names and barcode text values to address use of local languages
2. Select output formats most suitable for workflow requirements. Supports XML, JSON, CSV, Binary and Text formats.
