EZCode on Your iPhone

September 2nd, 2008 by Xof

Thanks to ScanLife, you can turn your iPhone into a 2D Barcode Scanner!

“With ScanLife, someone scans an EZcode with their camera phone and they’re instantly connected to any information you want them to have.

If you’ve got a business, EZcodes allow you to deliver real-time content to consumers precisely when they’re engaged with your product. And that means more sales.

Want it for personal use? You can put EZcodes on your personal profile, website or business card and your updated information is instantly accessible to friends. Or potential friends.”

As a user, you can use the ScanLife app to scan these codes and buy products you see in magazines and on websites, sample songs from CDs, get reviews for restaurants you’re at, get linked to a website and even hear audio tours.

Another way to use the EZCode… on your photos! You can use it to watermark a photo and link either to the creator’s website or to a specific page like “Buy Me” or “Copyright Info”.

If you scan the code in this article, you’ll be redirected to your favorite Mac Addicted blog :) Then just bookmark it and voilà!

All you need to do is register and start generating your EZCodes!

All you need is an Internet connection, which you’ll always get with the iPhone so this app should work well.

I had my friend download the ScanLife application to his iPhone so I could give it a test drive.

For starters, the application can only read and decipher proprietary EZcodes. Unfortunately the ScanLife application offers no support for 1D UPC/EAN barcodes, or Data Matrix, Aztec, or QR codes. This is the major downfall of the application, since it only supports one proprietary 2D symbology. As a result, ScanLife is not a true universal code reader.

For those wanting a much more intuitive mobile code reading experience, I highly recommend the NeoReader application from NeoMedia Technologies. The NeoReader is able to read and decipher all common non-proprietary 2D codes (Data Matrix, QR, Aztec) as well as URL embedded 2D codes and all 1D UPC/EAN/Code 128 open source codes. The NeoReader supports direct and indirect code linking, which guarantees maximum interoperability with already existing platforms like 2D Data Matrix Semacodes, and Japanese QR links. This allows the user to click on a variety of barcodes with a single application installed on their mobile device.

Download the NeoReader and instantly transform your iPhone into a universal code reader.
