If support for the iPad 2 or iPod Touch is important for your application, I'd choose a barcode scanner SDK that can decode barcodes in blurry images, such as our Scandit barcode scanner SDK for iOS and Android. Decoding blurry barcode images is also helpful on phones with autofocus cameras because the user does not have to wait for the autofocus to kick in.
Scandit comes with a free community price plan and also has a product API that makes it easy to convert barcode numbers into product names.
