Training tesseract to read barcode

[rray]

I've only been fooling with tesseract for a couple of days.
I have read the procedure for training a new language.
Could this be applied to a barcode font?

Thanks

Richard:  A cheaper and less anguishing solution may be getting a CueCat from e-bay (it reads barcodes) and use some of the publicly available software.

Tell me what you're doing; perhaps I can help!

Barcodes are a completely different problem, so I wouldn't try to use
Tesseract for that.

Batch processing of scanned forms.
We use 2 of 5 interleaved barcode.

Do you know of any open source library for Linux/UNIX that could be used to
decode 2 of 5 interleaved barcode?
