Barcode Analyser?

Hey all,

I'm looking for a barcode scanner that isn't just a shopping assistant.

I want one that shows me the raw data from the code.

I'm trying to make an application that will help me at work by allowing me to scan a barcode and then use the information to place the item in my audit software.

Is there anything like that?
 
I think Google Goggles is probably about as good as anything, it will certainly show you the raw data for any barcode, and allow you to copy and paste it into another app. For UPC codes it's just a number. QR codes can contain a variety of different types of data, e.g. URLs.
 
The Barcode I'm looking to analyze is a code on the back of lottery tickets.

This code contains the cost/value of the ticket as well as the number of tickets left in the stack. This would allow me to do ticket audits in minutes rather than almost an hour.
 
There are a number of barcode readers in the Play Store. Just search Barcode Reader and you will find several, and most of the top ones (at least for me) are not shopping apps. As mentioned though Google Goggles is good. Personally I use Barcode Scanner by ZXing but really any of them should do.

It sounds like what you really need is a reader that can read the barcode and record it in a file format that your audit program can import. To that effect you may want look for an Inventorying app. One app that I use is ScanPet which will scan a barcode and then put it in an Excel file.
