Can you program a qr code scanner with livecode?

I was wondering if it is possible and if it is, how advanced you have to be with livecode's language to do it.

Image correction and analysis at that level is doable in many languages but very computationally expensive. The most common approach is to use someone else's specialized code and hook into it from within LiveCode.

Monte has an external that provides QR code generation and more:

This library hooks into Google's APIs for QR interpretation:

If you need to generate QR codes, Splash21 has a tool for that:
