var optionsFaster = new BarcodeReaderOptions

    // Set Max threads to 4
    Multithreaded = true,

// Dynamically get the "images" folder in the current directory
string folderPath = Path.Combine(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory(), "images");

// Retrieve all JPG files in the directory
var pdfFiles = Directory.GetFiles(folderPath, "*.jpg");

foreach (var file in pdfFiles)

    // Read the barcode
    var results = BarcodeReader.Read(file);

    foreach (var result in results)
    {

        Console.WriteLine($"Value: {result.Value}, Type: {result.BarcodeType}");
            
    }
