You might want to look at http://sourceforge.net/projects/zbar/

It reads images, the qrcode from a couple of messages ago reads


[owen at localhost bin]$ ./zbarimg ~/Downloads/qrcode.png
QR-Code:market://details?id=com.amazon.kindle
scanned 1 barcode symbols from 1 images in 0.03 seconds

I think there is a "mobile phone" version of this, leave it to you.
