+ZBar is an open source software suite for reading bar codes from various
+sources, such as video streams, image files and raw intensity sensors. It
+supports many popular symbologies (types of bar codes) including
+EAN-13/UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-8, Code 128, Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5 and QR
+Code.
+
+The flexible, layered implementation facilitates bar code scanning and
+decoding for any application: use it stand-alone with the included GUI and
+command line programs, easily integrate a bar code scanning widget into
+your Qt, GTK+ or PyGTK GUI application, leverage one of the script or
+programming interfaces (Python, Perl, C++) ...all the way down to a
+streamlined C library suitable for embedded use.
