People who are not familiar with QR Codes are often confused between what a QR Code generator and a QR Code reader is, often misconstruing that both are the same. For instance, a friend of ours who is new to the whole QR Code thing told us, 'I can't seem to generate a single code from this iPhone ever since I got it. I just don't get what the whole shebang is about!'

Well, we had to spend some time explaining to her what the QR Code generator was and sadly inform her that at this point in time, phones do NOT generate QR Codes. We found a QR Code reader application for her phone, downloaded it and installed it for her. And then solemnly, we headed to our website, www.beqrious.com/generator and created a QR Code for her. That is the slow learning curve for our dear friend and we assured her that she was not alone.

But she was genuinely curious and awed by the technology once she started scanning every single little QR Code she could find. Within half a day, her interest led her to become quite the expert on the subject of QR Code generators and technology. For those who are still unfamiliar with it, here's a few clues.

QR Code generator is a type of program that creates QR Codes. Most QR Code generators found online are free to use, which means that you can create all types of codes through the website without paying a single dime. Some QR Code generators, like ours, allows for image, logo, text attachment so that it appears within the QR Code without tampering with the information contained within the code.

What you should install in your cell phone is called a QR Code reader which....well, for the lack of a better word, reads the QR Code and displays it on your screen of your cell phone. Although the use of this system has been rampant and common in some Asian countries and also in parts of Australia and Europe, the system failed to pick up in the United States. But with that said, with currently huge try-outs and testings with some big brand names, some say that QR Code technology will experience a huge following in the coming years.
