Support for Windows running on ARM 64 has now been added to the multi-platform .Net Standard toolkit. The same will shortly be applied to the other Windows toolkits.
When the software scans for a Qr Code it first looks for finder target patterns. When one is located it scans further along the same scan line to see if it can locate another finder pattern. If it can then it estimates the locations of the third pattern and continues to try and read the
Version 9.3.1.10 of the SDK has been released with the following changes (as compared to version 9.3.1.7): Support for image extraction from PDF documents added for images using the ICC color space. Correction of possible data overrun in Reed Solomon error correction. The permitted range of ratio between the sides of a QrCode has been
There has been a small update to the SDK with the release of version 9.3.1.7 of the SoftekBarcodeDLL, libbardecode.so and libbardecode.dylib files. Other files remain at the previous version number. This version contains the following updates since 9.3.1.1: Improvement to Codabar recognition for higher resolution images where the barcode is close to the edge of
The release notes for version 9.2.3 of the SDK are as follows: Code 25 barcodes: A memory leak introduced in the Code 25 algorithm in version 9.1.5 has been corrected. DataMatrix barcodes: Improvement to reading dot datamatrix barcodes MaxBarCodesPerPage is now handled correctly when reading DataMatrix barcodes. For example, if an image contained 20 datamatrix
Version 9.2.1.1 of the Softek Barcode Reader Toolkit SDK for Linux/OSX/iOS/Android has been released. Improvement to the recognition of QrCodes that have part of an edge missing. Quiet zones for QrCodes are now enforced correctly for color images larger than 1MB in size. Fix for very slow QrCode recognition on 64-bit systems with certain images.
Version 9.2.1.1 of the Softek Barcode Reader Toolkit SDK for Windows has been released. The main SDK has been rebuilt using VS2022 optimization and in tests runs about 5% faster than previous versions. SoftekSDKDemo now handles the ReadQRCode property correctly when editing an XML file.

Here’s the full list of changes: Improvement to Code 25 recognition algorithm to reduce the possibility of a false positive result when a barcode has a split bar
Most barcodes store text information but 2-D barcodes (such as QR-Code, Datamatrix and PDF-417) can also be used to store binary data. This article explains how to get at the binary data using the Softek Barcode Reader Toolkit. 2-D barcodes don’t have any way of telling the barcode reader how they’ve been encoded so it’s
Version 9.1.4 of the barcode reader SDK has been released. This applies to both the Windows version and the Linux/OSX/iOS/Android version. Most of the changes apply to 2-D barcode recognition as follows: The requirement for a minimum distance between 2 identical 2-D barcodes has been removed. A new property called Min2DLength (minimum length of a
