he Open-Source Solution for Barcode Automation

Aspose.BarCode for Python is coming soon as an open-source library that will let you generate, customize, and recognize more than 60 types of barcodes in your Python applications. It will support linear, 2D, and postal barcodes, and give developers full control over symbologies, size, rotation, error correction, and encoding. The library will use advanced image processing to accurately read barcodes from images, camera feeds, or scanned documents, even when the quality is low or images are rotated. Designed for speed and reliability, it will be ideal for inventory systems, shipping, ID generation, mobile apps, and document scanning. With an open-source model, developers can easily customize, extend, and contribute to the project to fit any workflow.
