Recognize CODE128 BarCode using Python
Scan BarCode Images via your Python applications without installing any other software.
For a developer, who is trying to scan custom CODE128 barcode images via Python application, Aspose.Total for Python via .NET API can help to automate the barcode reading and recognition process in any color or size according to business needs. It’s a full package of various APIs dealing different formats as well as 1D, 2D and Postal barcodes. Aspose.BarCode for Python via .NET API that is part of Aspose.Total for Python via .NET package makes this scanning process easy. Moreover, developers can adjust the parameters of the recognition engine to enable fast barcode scanning or improve reading accuracy.
How to Recognize CODE128 BarCode in Python
- Use BarCodeReader class object with DecodeType.AllSupportedTypes as parameter
- By calling read_bar_codes() to get all the CODE128 code
- Iterate through all result to print it
Recognition Requirements
- For CODE128 Barcode scanning, Python 3.5 or later is required
- Reference APIs within the project directly from PyPI ( Aspose.BarCode )
- Or Use the following pip commands
pip install aspose-barcode-for-python-via-net
- Moreover, Microsoft Windows or Linux based OS (see more for BarCode )

What is CODE128 Barcode?
Code 128 is a popular linear barcode symbology that is widely used in the manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare industries. It was developed in 1981 by the Automatic Identification Manufacturers (AIM) organization as a high-density barcode capable of encoding large amounts of data. Code 128 can encode all 128 ASCII characters, including letters, numbers, and symbols, making it a versatile and powerful tool for data encoding. It uses three code sets (A, B, and C) to represent different types of characters, including uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and special characters. One of the key features of Code 128 is its high-density encoding. It can encode up to 106 alphanumeric characters in a single code, making it a useful tool for applications where a large amount of data needs to be encoded in a small space. Code 128 also includes a built-in error detection and correction mechanism, which ensures that the data is accurately read and transmitted. It uses check digits to verify the integrity of the data and can detect and correct errors caused by damage or distortion to the code.
