Our scanner applications currently only run on Android phones/devices.

Barcode decoding 101

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.

What is the optimal distance between the barcode and the 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.

Why is the app working (detecting and reading barcodes) on my friend's device and not on mine?

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.

Tested devices

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 contact us to inform and we will update the list.
