> > There is a "qrwebpost" command which will wrap the data in an URL to
send it to some pastebin-like service directly. Any qrcode scanning app
can be used then. Several qrcodes can be chained and the output is
appended to the same post on the web service. And this is documented in
the post about qrencode: https://www.haiku-

> I understand the process, and that's exactly what I mean. It is not very
convenient. The process of taking pictures, connecting the phone to the
computer, and adding the pictures to the ticket isn't that complicated and
nowadays one cannot complain about the quality of pictures taken by the
phone cameras. So for the QR thing to become really usable it would have
to be a lot more convenient. I was thinking of an app that captures a
complete KDL session (codes could be shown in intervals of a few seconds)
and optionally adds it to a ticket directly. Unfortunately it is also
quite a bit of work and I don't think the time would be particularly well
invested. Time invested in implementing KDL debugging via USB or ethernet
OTOH would be, though.
There is also the possability of of using an audio-modem if the midi kit
or media kit is available. https://github.com/romanz/amodem &

The other option is to use blinking CMYK, CcMmYK or greyscale barcodes and
have the user capture that on their cellphone as a video and get them to
decode the it to text.
There are iOS and Andriod apps that decode morse code sent via lamp
singals/heliographs in real time and an open source project to decode
morse code from video.
So it a possability, but obviously a pretty low priority.
Also those blinkin' bebox lights might be a good idea for a comeback:
