Sorry, but what do you mean by "barcode recognition"?  A barcode reader
already decodes the barcode and sends the decoded output.  If it is one
plugged in a keyboard port, for example, reading the barcode or typing the
"message" is exactly the same thing.

Or are you willing some kind of OCR to process the barcodes without a barcode
reader (why having barcodes then?)?
