High-Speed Barcode Recognition Toolkit.
Barcode Xpress allows you to detect, read, and write 1D and 2D barcodes. Barcode Xpress is designed to support document capture, indexing, archiving, and process automation applications. Available as both a .NET and ActiveX toolkit, it locates barcodes anywhere on a page, decodes barcodes, reports the content, reports recognition confidence values, and also writes barcodes.
The ImagXpress toolkit is included in Barcode Xpress for image input, manipulation, and output. ScanFix image cleanup technology provides advanced preprocessing functionality for image cleanup and image modification prior to analysis. This cleanup technology improves recognition of noisy or damaged, hard-to-read barcodes on scanned documents. Configurable speed settings for Barcode Xpress are available to suit various application and budget requirements.
Included Components: Barcode Xpress v5, ImagXpress Standard v8, ScanFix Xpress Lite v5.1

Bitonal Image Cleanup
All Barcode Xpress editions include ScanFix Xpress Lite (Read the description of ScanFix Xpress Lite v5 features) for bitonal image cleanup technology such as deskew, despeckle, rotate, mirror, flip and more. These features improve recognition of poor quality barcodes.
Image Input, Image Output, and Image Handling
Provided through the included ImagXpress Standard .NET component and ActiveX/COM control. Features include TWAIN scanning, file conversion, image input, and image output.
Edition Descriptions
Barcode Xpress Standard is designed for developers deploying a low-speed scanning solution, such as a flat bed TWAIN scanner, or a lighter volume sheet-fed scan solution. Barcode Xpress Standard is speed-limited to read approximately 4 barcodes per second. This version is intended for low-volume barcode applications. Please note: Only the Professional and Professional + 2D Write editions support 2D barcodes.
Barcode Xpress Professional is the unlimited-speed barcode engine. It will read as fast as the processor can handle and significantly faster than the Standard Edition’s 4 barcodes per second. It is engineered for high-end, high-volume imaging applications where speed is critical for the success of the application. Barcode Xpress Professional supports 1D recognition and writing, and 2D recognition. It supports both Standard and Professional recognition speeds, allowing integrators to deploy either speed and price option. Please note: Only the Professional and Professional + 2D Write editions support 2D barcodes.
Barcode Xpress Professional + 2D Write contains the same features of Professional PLUS DataMatrix and PDF417 barcode writing.
