simple-zbar

A barcode reader that takes video from webcam and shows customizable popups for barcodes and QR codes with optionally additional data. Also save the barcodes scanned for the session in a timestamped csv file.

Usage

You can start scanning barcodes/QR codes supported by zbar without any configuration. If you want to scan only a specific type(s) of barcode, you can change the arguments for zbar in simple-zbar.py

Every time the code is run, a csv file is created that logs all the barcodes scanned with the data in Data.csv if applicable for the session

After you feel like you have scanned enough, press q to quit

Customization

To change the pop-ups, modify the Data.csv file

  • The first column matches with the barcode scanned
  • Leave the label for the second column. The timestamp will be inserted automatically
  • Add or modify the remaining labels as you want!

Now, you can add some entries into the file and the pop-up will show the data
