Morning all,
I recently made a small app that can grab an area of your screen (like taking a screen shot), recognise any barcodes in it and display the code number(s) and type of code. It works for EAN8, EAN13, UPC-A, UPC-E and ISBN codes.
I made it for my own use because I got tired of printing stuff out and scanning codes with a hand scanner when checking my artworks. It just seemed a bit daft and a waste of paper.
I'm toying with the idea of tidying my app up a bit and maybe releasing it as a cheap app. With that in mind, I wondered:
a) Do you think it'd something people would find useful? (or is it just me?!)
b) Would any of you like a beta* copy to test drive and give me some feedback?
If it makes it to the Mac App Store**, I'll happily give free download codes to anyone who gives me feedback on the beta.
What do you think?
Rob
* Usual proviso re beta versions - there may be hideous bugs lurking in there so use for testing only, not real work that matters.
** Yes, it will be Mac OS X only.
