I know this has been discussed a few times on stackoverflow but I wasn't able to find a sufficient answer. For a project, I am seeking the best possible piece of software/api/library that can recognise barcode numbers from the input image. It will be used on mobile phones(iphone, windows mobile, android etc.) so it should be good at catching barcodes from bad angles, blurry images and such bad conditions. Being open source or commercial doesn't matter as long as it does the job well (indeed open source would be better :) )
If you have any experience with this topic, please share with us:)
Thanks

There are many reasons barcodes might not scan and most of them can be boiled down to one of three things—your equipment isn't suited to your barcodes, your scanner isn't being operated properly or your barcode labels aren't suited to your application or environment.
The simple answer is yes - if the barcode scanner that you have has what is known as a 2D (two dimensional) imager as its scan engine. Barcode scanners come with two different types of scan engines.
Your barcode includes technology to protect it, so you won't be able to use screenshots or print outs.
Google has an Open Source project for this zxing
I'm familiar enough with it to know if it will do everything you need it to do, but I imagine it would be a really great place for you to start.
