For barcode detection we currently use mebjas/html5-qrcode (see BarcodeScanner.vue)

But it struggles to detect barcodes in various conditions, and can be frustrating for users.

If it is legal, try to use the SCANDIT, the same used by Yuka app, and recognize all classic barcodes faster than you will understand what happened.
