The Project.
The ORPALIS Virtual Barcode Reader makes your barcode scanning processes simpler! The application is fully integrated into the Windows’ system tray and is available from any windowed application.
You can easily choose the barcode you want to scan, and send the result in another window field, or copy it in the clipboard.
It supports near than 20 industrial linear barcode symbologies and also DataMatrix, PDF 417, Qr-Code and Micro Qr-Code symbols.
No more complicated software to use, just scroll over the barcode with your mouse, click and get the result instantly!
And the best part is that anyone can now benefit from Aurélien’s work! How about that?

The Story.
Behind each project, there is always a story. It all started with our intern in development, Aurélien.
Aurélien was deep into regression testing of the barcode recognition part of our GdPicture.NET Document Imaging SDK (and some of you know how boring this task can be). Tired of scanning barcodes with his cellphone and then sending them on the computer, he thought that having a barcode reader directly on the screen would make things a little easier. Since all virtual barcode readers available on the Internet require the use of software sometimes with a complicated interface, why not building our own virtual scanning tool?
And… here you go!
