Barcode Scanner
Barcode Scanner for the HTC Evo and Android is a full-fledged barcode scanning app that recognizes and reads both one dimensional (regular) barcodes as well as two-dimensional ones (QR Codes). Scan any product barcode and the app will automatically do a product search on Google. It can do specialized searches for books, via Google Books, just by scanning the barcode of a book you might have found while browsing in a bookstore. The app works very well with almost no errors and is very forgiving of the clumsiest hands.
This app will turn out to be immensely useful for shopping and comparing prices and reviews of various products. Even better, you can use it to install apps on your HTC Evo Android smartphone. When you visit an Android app related website that has a squigly looking code called a “QR Code”, you can simply launch Barcode Scanner and scan the code. Once scanned, your Evo will automatically take you to the correct app on the Android Market, where you can download the app or read reviews. Below, you can see how the Barcode Scanner app is being used to scan a QR Code.
