Softek Software
Softek Software was established in 1998 to provide programming services in the field of image processing. In 2001 the company was involved in a project to process timesheets stamped with barcodes. No software in the market place provided the simple, cost effective solution we required, so Softek developed its own barcode reading toolkit. The first commercial version of the toolkit was released later that year. Softek own all rights to the source code and are wholly responsible for the development of the product.
