Thanks for opening this issue, it's been on my mind for a while.

I've actually been toying with implementing that kind of system, the problem I'm running into is the fact that not all fonts are supported, and barcodes have different styles of numbers beneath them typically - which is often a pseudo-standard and is therefore hard to implement completely.

Some examples:

Code128

code128


ISBN-13

nzxvm


UPC-A

barcode_example


Some barcodes even have the code itself along with some kind of really human-readable label. For common items that do not have barcodes, there might be a binder of them you scan, but maybe this is taking it way too close to userspace implementations.

That being said, I totally am not against wanting to provide this functionality, just looking for a better way implement this.
