Scans QR codes using your webcam.

ScanQR
Description from store

Scans QR codes and displays their contents on a Chromebook or other computer with a suitable webcam. What's a "suitable" webcam? It's one that can focus the QR code within the red square in the app sharply enough that the app can decode it. My test results:

- Chromebook Pixel: yes
- Samsung ARM Chromebook: yes
- Acer C7 Chromebook: yes
- CR48: yes
- 2009 MacBook Pro: yes, except for very small, dense QR codes
- 2011 iMac: no, unless the QR code is ridiculously large (over one foot across)

If Chrome implements an API to let developers adjust camera-focus settings, I'll be able to improve the app to work with more cameras.

Does not work on any of my devices (PC, Chromebook), says wrong code, whereas other Android app can decode fine.

It worked for a while, but now my camera light comes on and nothing but a black screen with 2 intersecting red lines on the top left side of my screen. Does anyone know how to fix it?
Akua Afriyie

Unfortunately doesn't work anymore with Chrome OS Version 71
Mike McLaughlin
It worked well. We were using it on the chromebooks in our school district. It looks like Chrome Version 71 broke the app. It will not allow access to the camera any longer. It just opens a black box with a pulsating red scanner line. Same thing on chromebook and pc with Chrome Ver 71.

Works well for schooling systems

not working
mike winsor
it works great for me, quick, focused, shows me where to center QR, easy.

This is a ok Qr reader but needs improvement. It sometimes doesn't read the Qr correctly, and you need the scan the Qr without shaking the paper or else the camera will get fuzzy.

Simple doesn't work on my Samsung chromebook.

This app works for me so far, good response time. once you get used to it, scan QR is no problem. works on Surface Pro 3s.
Logan Summer
It dosent read

Didn't work

It works pretty well, but uses the wrong camera on my tablet, with no way to swap.

The app didn't read any QR codes whether they are right in front or far away. After two tries, the camera turned all fuzzy. It's a shame since it's the only one in the store.

best qr scanner

Seems to work perfectly on Windows 7 Professional, but on the same hardware running Kali Linux, it does not work. I used "gstreamer-properties" to test the webcam itself, and it works inside Kali. I would have given five stars if not for this.
