Our API delivers outstanding value to developers through four pillars: simplicity, affordability, accuracy, and speed.

Simplicity - With SLOC at a fraction of open source solutions, the Manatee Works Barcode Scanner SDK lets developers forgo a steep learning curve and focus on application development.

Affordability - Given multiple licensing choices, one-time payment options, rolling device licensing, NO network connectivity requirements, and NO long-term commitments, Manatee Works' decoders are more affordable, reliable, and easy to license than our commercial competitors.

Accuracy - While most decoders only work well with high quality barcode images, Manatee Works' decoders are tuned to read the densest barcode images even under challenging conditions of low light, extreme angles, varying brightness and contrast levels, and inverted surfaces.

Speed - The algorithms in our software achieve exceptional barcode-scanning performance and read range under a variety of lighting conditions, even with damaged barcodes. Welcome to the new breed of industrial scanners.
