QR code readers

Hi,

Is there a utility for decoding QR codes in a desktop environment? I tried Google without much success, I tried Arch Forum search: the latter won't even accept 'qr' as a valid keyword for some reason. Ideally it should be an applet 'magnifying glass' style, but anything reasonable will do. And yes, I tried yaourt -Ss qr, too.

It never occurred to me to search AUR online. Thanks! It's worth investigating, though at first glance the packages look heavily biased towards encoding rather than decoding.

Re: QR code readers

try zbar. It works pretty well using your webcam or a picture as input.

zbarcam, zbarimg

I Wrapped it into a python script once and it works ever since.

Re: QR code readers

Thanks, Archdove! It works. Certainly it works, unlike Google Chrome QReader. I leave the thread not solved for a while, in case of somebody having ideas.
