This example app demonstrates integrating the Scanbot Windows Barcode Scanner SDK into your Universal Windows Platform (UWP) application.
The Scanbot Barcode Scanner SDK is a simple and intuitive SDK that allows you to turn mobile devices into fast and reliable barcode scanners.
The SDK utilizes your device's camera, which can be freely switched. You can also apply various filters to narrow down the results by barcode type or content, with regex pattern support to ensure you only capture the specific barcodes relevant to your application.
It operates entirely offline on the user's device and takes only 0.04 seconds to scan barcodes. Scans are accurate even under challenging conditions, including damaged, small, or distant barcodes and low-light environments.
The SDK can be integrated into your mobile apps within minutes and comes with Ready-To-Use UI components, which allow you to customize the barcode scanner to your needs.

It is available a NuGet package Scanbot.BarcodeSDK.Windows.
