barcode-reader
Stripe-interpreting device
A barcode-reader is an electronic device that scans and decodes barcodes—the patterns of parallel lines or squares printed on products, packages, and documents.
Barcode readers use light sensors to translate these patterns into digital information, typically product identification numbers.
They appear at checkout counters, in warehouses, and on smartphones as apps.
Also called a barcode scanner.
