This brief topic focuses on how to Read Barcode using Python. In Python Barcode scanner application can be developed using few steps and simple API calls. The application can be used in Linux, Windows or macOS based environments configured with Python3 and JDK. In the following example, we have focused on reading few Barcode types. However, the API is capable of reading the Barcode information for many other types defined in DecodeType enumerator including GS1 Code, 128 Code, QR Code and many others.

Steps to Read Barcode using Python

1. Setup Python3 and Aspose.BarCode for Python by following the guidelines
2. Create an array of DecodeTypes holding Barcode decode types to read
3. Create an object of BarCodeReader class and provide the image file path holding Barcode and DecodeTypes array
4. Read the Barcodes from image
5. Iterate the read Barcode information from image for further usage

In order to read Barcode Python based code and adhering to the steps mentioned. The process is commenced by configuring the development environment first and then you will use BarCodeReader class instance by providing the source Barcode image file path and DecodeType array holding Barcode types as parameters. In subsequent steps, we will read the Barcode information and will iterate through a loop to print the read information. You can process the read Barcode information further in your application as per your requirements.

Code to Read Barcode using Python

The above example in Python read Barcode from image in few API calls. The API has the capability to read information from different other Barcode types that are specified in DecodeType enumerator including GS1 Code, Code Matrix, QR Code, Code 128, CODABAR and many others. By using few lines of code in Python Barcode reader has been developed.

In this topic we have explored how easily in Python Barcode scanner application has been developed. If you want information about creating Barcodes, refer to the article on how to Generate Barcode in Python.
