QR screen reader

Hi!
Actually I don’t know if it could be useful but I created a little app that analize the screen for QRcodes and barcordes:

You can find it on my codeberg account
it uses zbar: pkgman install zbar

but If necessary I can provide an haikuports recipe or a standalone HPKG

If you can copy the contents to the clipboard or can easily open a URL, it could certainly come in handy.

It would be handy to have a Translator add-on that can convert any image containing a QRCode (or any barcode zbar can detect, as zbar support far more than just QRCode IIRC) into text , allowing any app to support such “barcode decoding” feature.

ShowImage , save as… (or via Drag and Drop + shift key pressed) > Barcode > text file from the code.

This should be something rather integrated into the system I think.

:slight_smile: work in progress… I’m currently applying an open button for BUrls and BEntries.
For clipboard I need to work on the Haiku-PyAPI wrapper as there’s a problem getting the be_clipboard clipboard (but I’ve just found a solution for this problem, I’m just discussing it with @coolcoder613 and @Zardshard ).

all done, but we need to wait next Haiku-PyAPI update for clipboard usage.
