### "Drivers License scanning solution"

February 16, 2023

5.0

A+ overall experience! Our developers were able to quickly integrate this with our existing codebase, and our users love it.

Pros

We initially used the JavaScript solution in our PWA (progressive web app), which worked great. It allowed our web app to use a mobile device's camera to scan licenses & import all data into our systems. After initial setup, it worked flawlessly for our users, and was simple, intuitive and required zero training. Our web app has grown & morphed into an Ionic Hybrid app that is available in the iOS App Store & Google PlayStore. Although the initial javascript implementation still worked, we upgraded to the Capacitor version to gain additional controls over the device's camera functionality, such as using the flash's torch feature. This helped users to easily scan drivers licenses, even in low light situations.

Cons

As with any new software component, there are integration issues. However, with the help of Dynamsoft' support team, we were able to quickly overcome these issues, as well as get our questions answered in a timely basis.

Reason for choosing Dynamsoft Barcode Reader

The demo app on Dynamsoft.com was easy to use & we were quickly able to demonstrate it's value to our stakeholders. The contracts & support departments have been fantastic as well, making it an easy decision to continue using this product.

### "Seems good on native"

November 6, 2023

3.0

Pros

Dynamsoft customer support is great and the product seems to work well on native mobile.

Cons

There isn't great Flutter support which means it's a serious engineering effort to integrate.

### "Best QR-Code scanning library out there!"

February 13, 2023

5.0

Other than this (long licence seat "free"ing period) - great software fully woth it's money!

Pros

Superfast, robust library. Integrating into our software was like "plug-and-play".Scanning speed and quality is outstanding! Even with simple 1Mpix cameras QR-codes are scanned flawlessly fast!

Cons

Licensing model has one little annoyance - Licence seats are "freed" once every 90 days if device is not used.Really wish it was a bit reduced to say - 30 days.

Reason for choosing Dynamsoft Barcode Reader

Because of: ease of setup and speed and robustness of large QR scanning on low resolution cameras.

### "Best Barcode Reader on the market"

April 28, 2023

5.0

Pros

The barcode reader is super easy to implement. There are plenty of examples and documentation. The support team is top tier and responds very quickly. Overall, we have been using this product for years without any issues.

Cons

The licensing is fairly complex and in most cases requires a check-in with the dynamsoft servers. An auto renew feature would be nice. Having to upgrade the license for each new version of the SDK is also a little frustrating.

Reason for choosing Dynamsoft Barcode Reader

The Dynamsoft reader was much more reliable and feature rich.

### "Good Support"

April 6, 2020

4.0

I needed the software to allow customers to use his/her phone to scan barcodes. Overall the Dynamsoft Barcode Reader has provided what I needed.

Pros

I wanted a javascript library that allowed all of the processing to be done on the client and doesn't make a call back to a central server. Dynamsoft Barcode Reader met these requirements. When I an considering purchasing software, the technical support is also a very important part of the decision. I have always received timely and helpful responses when I have needed assistance.

Cons

I had a difficult time changing some of the scanner resolution settings to get the software to work across multiple browsers. Technical support helped me resolve this issue though.

Reason for choosing Dynamsoft Barcode Reader

The other software options I considered were priced based on the number of scans in a given period of time. Dynamsoft's fee structure is an annual fee regardless of the number of scans. I also wanted a javascript library that didn't make a call back to a central server.

### "Dynamsoft Barcode Reader SDK is a MUST HAVE"

March 3, 2020

4.0

Our main product is a softwaresuite for EOL testing. We have all different kinds of products tested on our systems, therefore the barcodes have to be recognized fast and are applied to many different materials. Our experience with Dynamsoft was outstanding.

Pros

The component has very strong recognition capabilities even if you use the default settings. With all the options the component offers you can easily adjust settings to get great results even in sophisticated scenarios. The integration in our .NET environment was very smooth.

Cons

Parts of the api are in my opinion a little too flexible, i.e. the recognition area can be specified in a json based way which is error prone and from the api usage perspective not very practical.

Reason for choosing Dynamsoft Barcode Reader

The price-quality ratio is extraordinary. Combined with the fast and competent support dynamsoft offers it is simply the best option.

### "Critical Integrated Component"

February 16, 2023

5.0

once established in our platform, the product works extremely well and is very reliable with no reported defects post-deployment.

Pros

For our end consumer of the associated product, the ease of use is extremely important. While in the past there was some level of difficulty in upgrading the established product to the new release version, at least Dynamsoft technical staff were able to assist the development team in getting the upgraded version incorporated and functional within our product.

Cons

The coordination of the licensing and upgrading to new release versions should be smoother for Dynamsoft customers.

We have barely tested this feature in our QA environment, but still don't have it in Production

Dynamsoft helps streamline otherwise repetitive mechanical functions for a user, helping optimize the workflow in a way most users don't value until they try it

### "Dynamsoft is effective and have very good customer support"

February 22, 2023

4.0

In Nomeco we build a web app for our customers, so they can scan their recieved goods with an iPad.

Pros

The integration is very easy and the customer support is also great.

Cons

It's maybe not particularly the software, but we have customers that experience issues with the connection to the scanner on their iPad. Customers Support is still working on what we can do to eliminate this small problem.

### "Dynamsoft JS Barcode Reader was just what we were looking for."

March 25, 2021

5.0

From the generous trial period, the clear examples, to the expediency of customer service when we accidently purchased the wrong license, it's been a pleasure to work with.

Pros

By far, the most important reason we decided on the Dynamsoft JS Barcode Reader , was that it just worked. On every smartphone and tablet we tried it on, it just worked. From a support point-of-view, that is a bargain.

Cons

If I find something I don't like, I will be sure to update this review. As of today, it's 100% fulfilled our requirements.

Reason for choosing Dynamsoft Barcode Reader

Like I mentioned above. It worked, out-of-the-box, on every smart device we needed it to.
