Hi Folks. I have designs a form that requires various QR codes to be scanned. We will generate and print these codes on labels that will be used in the field to maintain a chain of connection between all sampling data. All of the people collecting the data out in the field have iPhones. I have only just discovered that when I want to scan a QR code from the deployed form, the camera only wants to find the human-readable or some text. If I try to focus on the QR code itself, I can only get parts of the whole code - I cannot capture the entire code. This means that there is effectively no point in generating a QR or barcode - I just need to generate a list of numbers that I can print on the labels. It seems that scanning QR codes works when using an Android - is this really not possible with iPhones? Please let me know if this is feasible or not.
Correct. The QR code is not being scanned, and only the human-readable text below the code (or any other writing) is being scanned. Can you please assist? Thanks, Tania
@Kal_Lam , I seem to be developing forms for a variety of users just now. When we run into issues like this one (making QR code/barcode scanning available for Enketo/webforms), is there a way of finding out what this would cost in real money, and what sort of time-frame would we be looking at to arrive at a solution?
How would we go about discussing this with you? For now, we have 2 issues that we would be interested getting “fixed”. 1 - we would like QR code/barcode scanning possible in Enketo; and 2 - we would also like to be able to trigger GPS collection in Enketo when another question is answered (i.e., automatic GPS collection, more than once in a single form).
