module / Braille & barcode

Does it scan right?

Braille & Barcode reads and grades every code and every dot against the standard, so what scans at the warehouse and reads under the fingertips is right before it ships.

Open the artwork

Start with the digital artwork or a scanned physical sample. Content Compare reads barcodes and Braille from either, so you can verify a print-ready file or a sample straight off the press.

No need to mark where the codes or dots sit. The reader locates them on the page automatically.

Read the barcode

Auto-detect EAN, GS1, Data Matrix, QR and more. Get the decoded value, human-readable interpretation, an ANSI A–F grade, and measurements like quiet zone and bar width reduction.

Auto-detects the symbology, so you don't tell it what to look for. Grades against the ANSI/ISO scale.

Read the Braille

Detect dots from a dedicated color channel or by manual selection, decode against 25+ language dictionaries, and verify dot size and spacing against the Marburg Medium standard.

Decodes against 25+ language dictionaries and checks dot geometry, not just presence.

Capture to the report

Add the reading as its own deviation or compare it directly against a critical item, then sign and store alongside the rest of your audit trail.

Every reading meets 21 CFR Part 11 and files alongside the rest of the audit trail.

Capabilities

What Braille & Barcode detects

Every barcode read and graded
EAN, GS1, Data Matrix, QR, and more, auto-detected and graded A–F to the ANSI/ISO standard.
Only what changed
The report shows real deviations, not noise, so reviewers trust what's flagged.
Braille verified to standard
Dot size and spacing checked against the Marburg Medium standard, decoded across 25+ language dictionaries.
The measurements that matter
Quiet zone, bar width reduction, and decoded value surfaced for every symbol, with human-readable interpretation.
Built into every stage
Runs as part of the same workflow as the other modules, so codes and dots are checked alongside text and artwork.
Complete audit trail
Every reading logged from scan to signed report, traceable for compliance.

FAQ

Braille & Barcode questions

Common questions about how Braille & Barcode verifies codes and dots.

What does the Braille & Barcode module do?
Braille & Barcode reads and grades barcodes and verifies Braille against recognized standards. It auto-detects codes, grades them to the ANSI/ISO scale, and checks Braille dot size and spacing, so both machine-readability and tactile compliance are confirmed before release.
Which barcode types can it read?
Braille & Barcode auto-detects and grades common symbologies including EAN, GS1, Data Matrix, and QR codes. For each code it returns the decoded value, a human-readable interpretation, an ANSI/ISO grade, and measurements such as quiet zone and bar width reduction.
How does it verify Braille?
The module decodes Braille against more than 25 language dictionaries and checks dot geometry, including size and spacing, against the Marburg Medium standard. It verifies that the Braille is both present and correct, not simply that dots exist.
Does it grade barcodes to a recognized standard?
Yes. Braille & Barcode grades each barcode against the ANSI/ISO scale (A–F), giving an objective, audit-ready pass or fail rather than a subjective check. This supports compliance for pharmaceutical and consumer packaging.
Can Braille and barcode checks run alongside the other modules?
Yes. Braille and barcode verification runs within the same workflow as text, graphic, and hard copy checks, so codes and dots are verified as part of the same review rather than as a separate step.
