	==Barcode ~~decoding 101~~==		==Barcode Decoding Basics==
	~~To decode~~ barcodes ~~especially the ones as~~ high density as on the South African ~~drivers~~' ~~licence~~ card ~~one needs~~ a GOOD quality image of the barcode. Lighting ~~does have an effect~~ as the software ~~needs to detect~~ the edges between the white and black ~~parts comprising~~ the barcode ~~and any~~ smudges, ~~pixelated~~ or reflections in the image ~~will negatively influence~~ detection and decoding of the barcode.		When it comes to decoding barcodes, particularly high-density ones found on the South African driver's license card, it's essential to have a GOOD quality image of the barcode. Lighting conditions play a significant role, as the software relies on detecting the edges between the white and black components that make up the barcode. Any smudges, pixelation, or reflections in the image can have a detrimental impact on the detection and decoding process of the barcode. Therefore, ensuring a clear and well-captured image is crucial for accurate barcode decoding.
	==~~What is~~ the optimal distance between the barcode and the scanner~~?==~~		==Determining the Optimal Distance between Barcode and Scanner==
	~~This~~ is a ~~difficult~~ question ~~to answer as all devices are different and the focus points of the cameras differ~~. ~~The best bet~~ is to ~~play around~~ and ~~find your device~~ best focus point ~~keeping~~ in mind that the barcode should fit ~~inside your~~ viewfinder to ~~be able~~ to ~~detect barcodes~~.		Finding the optimal distance between the barcode and the scanner can vary depending on the device and its camera's focus points. It is challenging to provide a specific answer to this question. However, a good approach is to experiment and discover the best focus point for your particular device. Keep in mind that the barcode should fit comfortably within the viewfinder of the scanner to ensure accurate detection and decoding of barcodes. So, adjust the distance accordingly to find the sweet spot for optimal barcode scanning performance with your specific device.
	==~~Why is the app working (detecting and reading barcodes) on my~~ friend's device and ~~not on mine?==~~		==Understanding Device Variability in Barcode Scanning==
	~~We opted~~ to ~~base~~ our scanner applications on the Google Barcode library for ~~Android devices to aid in~~ processing ~~the~~ barcode images captured through ~~our applications~~. ~~Unfortunately~~ not all devices can provide ~~good~~ quality images (~~see~~ Barcode ~~decoding~~ 101) or ~~are supported to decode the~~ barcode ~~correctly through~~ the Google library - we ~~suggest always ensure~~ that your Google ~~play~~ services are up-to-date ~~as work to support more devices are done by them~~ regularly and rolled out through the service.		The discrepancy in barcode scanning performance between your friend's device and yours can be attributed to several factors. In our scanner applications, we utilize the Google Barcode library for processing barcode images captured through the apps. However, it's important to note that not all devices can consistently provide high-quality images (as explained in Barcode Decoding 101) or offer full support for accurate barcode decoding using the Google library.

			To enhance your scanning experience, we recommend ensuring that your Google Play services are up-to-date. Google regularly works on expanding device compatibility and improving barcode decoding capabilities, which are rolled out through the service updates. Keeping your Google Play services updated can help ensure that you benefit from the latest advancements and enhancements made by Google to support a wider range of devices.

			While we strive to optimize the scanning experience across various devices, the inherent variability in hardware and software configurations can impact barcode detection and reading. We appreciate your understanding and encourage you to regularly update your Google Play services for the best possible scanning performance on your device.

	Giving a list of devices that '''DOES NOT''' work will be easier as their users contact us and the ones that '''DO WORK''' use the scanner and will most probably never read this section '''BUT''' if you use our apps to scan and decode barcodes and the device is NOT in the below list please [https://wiki.nptracker.co.za/index.php?title=NPS#Contact contact us] to inform and we will update the list.
