The web-based application that I want to highlight here is ZXing from Google Code, have you heard that before? First, let’s take a look on the interface.
The ZXing’s interface is indeed very simple but do not underestimate its abilities :D
From the layout, you can either upload the image from your computer or from URL, then click "Submit Query" to decode or read your barcode or QR-Code images.
I have two examples here, one barcode image and the other is QR-code image.
