+BarcodeReader
+=============
+
+BarcodeReader is a barcode reader for Code128, Code93, Code39, Standard/Industrial 2 of 5,
+Interleaved 2 of 5, Codabar and EAN-13 barcodes in javascript.
+Supports multiple barcodes in one image and detects what type of barcodes there are.
+
+It seems that the issue with smartphones might have been one of exif orientation tags so there's a fix in BarcodeReader now and also a fix for some kind of downsampling issue for iOS.

+Version 1.6 is up with a completely reworked localization process and also added a BarcodeReader object to facilitate more ease of use. Just reference BarcodeReader.js, always execute a call to BarcodeReader.Init() in the beginning and then for decoding of images set callback function using BarcodeReader.SetImageCallback(callback) and then call BarcodeReader.DecodeImage(img). Also added functionality in BarcodeReader to decode a video stream for use with getUserMedia, which was the original idea. Hopefully this localization will be a significant improvement and I will in the (hopefully) near future do a rework of the decoding algorithm to make it a bit faster and more accurate.
