Hi Gustav -- Additional note: - LeadTools didn't work for me or I used it improperly, - Pic2Shop didn't work also but - i-nigma - http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/apps/828c4e78-1d2b-4fd2-ad22-fde9c553e263 - worked well for flat surface printed barcodes and it even read bar code from a bottle of wine label... So I plan to remove LedTools and Pic2Shop and use i-nigma for technology demonstration purposes. Thank you. -- Shamil 19 декабря 2011, 16:10 от "Gustav Brock" <Gustav at cactus.dk>: > Hi Shamil > > No, I picked the Leadtools app because its description sounded trustworthy and it was free.
