 Section 2: Bar Code Structure
The data in the bar code printed in human readable form should be grouped or spaced to enhance readability.
Human readable characters shall not infringe on the bar codes.

 Excluding the checksum character from the human readable versions of barcode fonts
If your application requires the human readable text to be printed, and the check digit cannot be a part of the human readable text, then it is suggested to have your application change to a text font and print the text at the bottom of the barcode after the barcode is printed.
It is not possible to exclude the checksum character from the human readable versions of barcode fonts because the checksum is actually one of the barcode characters.

 [Dev] human readable petname object IDs
This general problem is one that is already been addressed in the context of designing human readable names for objects in capability based systems, which also tend to use identities based on long random looking integers.
So chandler might want to support a way of providing nicknames, or pet names, which mean the same thing as the more precise uuids, but are more human readable.
This is exceptionally hard for a human being to remember, so such IDs make terrible URL components that a human might want to remember.

 EP1408433
In case the control code is not in a for human readable code, such as for example a two dimensional bar code, the recipient can use a machine reading device, such as for example a bar scanner or OCR scanner, most devices which are readily available.
In this example, the human readable mark comprises a signature image 310 (for example a bit map) of the respective approver and a control code 320 such as for example a bar code or a number printed in Arabic numbers.
Method according to claim 1, wherein generating a human readable mark (300) comprises retrieving a signature image (310) from a repository within said business processes supporting computer system (10) associated with said validation code and generating a control code (320) for said human readable mark (300).

 Talk:Programming language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Indeed, producing readable code that other humans (and not merely computers) can easily understand is one of the hallmarks of a good programmer.
We believe that producing readable code is mostly through renaming, refactoring, etc. so that the name of an variable communicates (to humans) what it is, the name of a method communicates (to humans) what it does, etc.
A programming language is not a human language in the oridnary sense of the term; even two hardcore professional programmers don't ever go to lunch and talk to each other in Java or C. Natural human languages are far better suited to interpersonal communication.

 Human Readable vs Machine Readable
The ISO numeric date format is arguably both more machine readable and more human-readable, since Arabic numerals in a position-based decimal system are far closer to a universal language than any other form of notation, so far as I'm aware.
Such a practice makes it more readable for a particular subset of humans while not aiding the others, and arguably making the machine side of things harder.
Without necessarily advocating harshly opaque binary formats, I wish to bring into serious question the idea that any representation can be considered generally human-readable when it includes elements of a particular natural language (eg "Jan", "Feb", "Mar", etc).

 ipedia.com: Human-readable Article
In the case of bar codes used in stores, laws frequently mandate that a human-readable price be displayed with the merchandise, rather than relying solely on the machine-readable bar code and price disclosure only at the point of sale.
In computing specifically, the phrase human-readable refers to data that is stored in a format easily read by most humans - normally as ASCII-encoded text, as opposed to binary data.
A prolific example is the bar code, where the bars of the code are almost always accompanied by a numeric equivalent which humans can check or type by hand if necessary.

 Avoiding Technological Quicksand
If it happens to be stored on a physical medium that is easily accessible by humans (such as a disk), then this surface annotation might be rendered as a human-readable label on the physical exterior of the storage unit, but this may not be feasible.
In order for all of this saved information (encodings, translators, history of translations that have been performed, and so forth) to remain readable in the future, it must be stored using this same transliteration scheme, that is, it must be encoded in a current annotation standard, to be subset-translated as needed in the future.
First, an abstract, formal description could be saved, which could be interpreted by a human or program in the future to enable construction of the desired emulator.

 Resource Gloss (Human Readable)
Not to say that human readable is unimportant-- all of my schemas have a human readable format alongside-- I just think it would better serve automation purposes to have it as a reference.
The only response to the question of whether or not the format *should* be human readable was a quick flame.
I think the new spec would be somewhat simpler (and therefore more focused) if human readable display was left out in favor of having it be yet another reference.

 FR Doc 04-4249
If we required bar codes on all human drugs, then some drugs (such as samples) would have bar codes even though they are used outside the hospital setting and in situations where the patient is unlikely to have access to, or be willing to buy, scanning or reading equipment to read the bar code.
Thus, bar coding all human drugs is unnecessary and would not contribute significantly to an overall improvement in patient safety.
We proposed to exclude prescription drug samples because most samples are given to patients at physicians' offices, and we did not believe that physicians or patients would have or be inclined to buy bar code scanners for their own use in the immediate future.

 Z39.50 Part 7 (Explain)
Elements intended to be presented to the user by the origin are said to consist of "human readable text." Each record includes a language element indicating the language of the human readable text within the record.
For example, a Database-info record includes an element which contains a description (in human readable text) of the database; to retrieve only the brief elements and the description element, the element set name 'description' may be used.
A default value which applies if the attribute is omitted, and a description of default behavior in human readable form.

 Fuzzy Modes Philosophy
While human readable modes require a human to be available to perform the processing, the results are well worth while, as the performance that results, particularly with noisy transmissions, is remarkable.
It is important that, for highest human performance, no electronic or software data processing that might alter the results is performed prior to input to the human signal processor.
The only assistance the mere human needs is demodulation of the radio signal, and presentation of the data for acquisition.

 Refined RSS feeds (kottke.org)
Instead, browsers exposed the markup, because it was fairly human readable all sorts of people learned HTML by viewing source, those people hacked away at the code by hand, readers became writers, it got messy, and the web *exploded* in almost every way conceivable.
But looking at the bigger picture, human readability of something like RSS can be important in developing new RSS-related memes (I'm using meme here in the traditional sense, not in the "it's on Daypop Top 40" sense that seems to have taken over the blogger mindspace).
Obstensibly, RSS files are meant to be written by machines to be read by machines (robot to robot) so human readability shouldn't matter.

Further, sometimes even the human will need the unique name, or at least information derived from the unique name (such as "you may think you recognize that readable hostname, but it's not the one you think it is").
Thus the "human readable" informational content of the DNS names will become less and less meaningful, until we are left with names that are essentially just unique identifiers.
Mapping Between The Unique Tree and the Readable Tree Within a site the human readable names are unique, but as soon as a DNS name leaves a site it would need to be converted to a globally unique name so that it will be useful to foreign users.
