## What is Vision Smarts?

Vision Smart's industrial grade barcode scanner can instantly read the following formats: EAN-13, UPC-A, EAN-8, UPC-E, EAN+2, EAN+5, Code 128, Code 39, Code 93, ITF, Code 25, Codabar, Telepen, QR codes, DataMatrix, and all GS1 Databar versions. 

Scan just one barcode or a batch of up to 20. Full screen scan, framed scan, or red line scan. Share the results with the standard action sheet (message, email, copy, save, send to other apps, etc.)

At Vision Smarts we have been developing, refining, and optimizing barcode reader software since the early days of the App Store. The result is a set of powerful image processing algorithms that can quickly read barcodes in the most challenging conditions: damaged or faded barcodes, small or low-resolution print, low light, reflective or wrinkled surfaces, steep angles, etc.

Our software libraries power our own apps. Many well-known brands in the retail, logistics, consumer goods, banking, telecom, food, and software industries license our white label SDK to build reliable barcode scanning apps for their employees and customers .
