QR-Capture

Ever need to scan a QR Code, for example for authenication, and you don't feel like grabbing your phone? yeah. I know that feeling. That's why I made this :)

I mainly made it for authenication QR Code's, but you can use it for any QR code. Whenever you scan a QR code that contains the otpauth protocol, it will filter out the secret key and automatically copy it to your clipboard, to make the proces even easier.

Take a look at this GIF demonstrating how QR-Capture makes the proces easier. ( You don't need to capture the QR code accurately. You can just make a rough capture and it will work! )

How-To

This application is reasonably easy to use. When you start QR-Capture, your mouse turns into an selection-tool. You can now drag and select your QR code. QR-Capture will then show, with the text behind the QR code. If you want to scan another code, click on the image and select again. That's basically it!

Usages

QR-Capture makes use of three main external functionalites combined into one application.

QR Decoder

This is a big one. I used Uzi Granot's QR Decoder to scan the QR codes with QR-Capture. This is an amazing decoder and can detect QR codes when they aren't even the main focus of an image.

Snipping code

For the selection of an area to scan an image, i mainly used Eder A. Castro's Snipping Tool tutorial. Big thanks for that one!

MaterialSkin

This was used for the UI to make an old Winforms application look modern :) Big thanks to leocb, donald steele and mainly Ignacemaes for making and improving this project.
