About Barcode Selection

warning

We recommend using SparkScan or Barcode Capture API instead of Barcode Selection. With the new AI-powered features, barcode selection in crowded environments is done without the need of a dedicated API. This API will be deprecated.

Barcode Selection enables you to increase scanning accuracy and prevent users from scanning the wrong code in scenarios where there are multiple barcodes present, such as a crowded shelf, an order catalog with barcodes printed closely together, or a label with multiple barcodes.

Barcode Selection provides two key capabilities:

  • Aim to Select allows users to select one code at a time. This is especially useful for one-handed operation.
  • Tap to Select is a quick way for users to select several codes from the same view. Selection is done by tapping on highlighted barcodes in the live camera preview or on a frozen screen.
warning

Barcode Selection does not support handling of duplicate codes. If a code appears twice in the visible preview both instances will be marked as selected even if only one of them was selected.
