Aztec, read on this page

Transit tickets, airline boarding passes. Try it right here — the workbench below reads Aztec from the lens or from a dropped photo, then files the value with a format tag. Specimen: AZTEC-DEMO

01 — Capture

Viewfinder is off

Start it to read live. Frames are examined here — nothing streams out.

Idle — choose Start to open the viewfinder.

For smudged or torn labels where the lens gives up. Filed entries join the same tray.

02 — Tray

0/100 kept

Decoded values

Tray is empty

Every successful read lands here with its format tag, ready to copy or export.

Your tray never syncs anywhere — it lives in this browser's storage.

READING NOTES

Getting a Aztec to resolve

Matrix codes need all four edges crisp and still for a beat. Fill ~70% of the frame, brace the phone, and for screen codes upload the source image instead of photographing the display.

WHEN IT WON'T READ

Fallbacks that work

  • A — Flatten the label; curves smear bars at edges.
  • B — Back off slightly so autofocus can lock, then drift in.
  • C — Key the printed digits into "Key it in" — same tray, same export.
