After quite a few requests about “how to generate a QR-Code” and what libraries are we using we will tell you in this post and also other ways to do so.

Let’s start with the library we use to generate QRs online. You can find it here. It’s a japanese website but the very last link links to the library itself. There will probably be other libraries available on the net, based on Java or other languages,but the one we are using is the one we just mentioned.

There are also some off-line software to generare ourown QR-Codes. Here you have the links we found:

So far we just found there three (all of them in Japanese). From Google Translator you can easily translate from Japanese into English. We hope this post to be helpful and you have any question we will try to answer :)

Our blog has its own QR-Code generator. So far is simple but the idea is to refine it little by little and keep adding features to it.

Options so far al the following:

  • Text. Embeds a plain text
  • Web. Embeds a URL that the reader will follo. (E.g.: a link to a movie website)
  • SMS. Embeds a phone number and a text to generate an SMS ready-to-go. (E.g.: competitionss, prizes, etc…)
  • Mail. Embeds a text and an email address (E.g.: request of information)
  • vCard (soon). Embeds the vCard fields. We are trying to find out a standard format that works in all reader, but haven’t found it yet. (E.g.: QR printed on business card)

NOte: The QR-Codes next to the titles of the post in this blog are the URLs to the post itself. We use a japanese plugin, the “occidental” version didn’t work properly. WP-QRcode オプション. It’s not very useful but looks cool.

We are working on a QR-Code reader integrated in a a flash object. We promise nothing, but we think it has lots of possiblities.
