I think the misunderstanding was that Aaron ison a (secret) device that
supports activex but neither javascript nor flash.

Kind Regards,

Hi Aaron

I have been thinking about how you could do this. I think the best
option would be to write a flash app that connects to a webcam. Staff
then place the barcode in front of the webcam and a picture is taken
and you could then write an algorithm to read the barcode. This would
allow you detect when the barcode was entered, as you would obviously
need to take a picture.

I've been digging around for some algorithms for this, it would appear
this guy has done something:

It will also be more efficient than those old barcode scanners because
a good webcam these days can do about 50fps.

-Nick
