    I don’t think any error correction is done upon this QR code when it is read. Just some camera/image manipulation to figure out the correct way to process it. Error correction is meant for damaged QR codes. I tried looking for an app that shows how much error correction it used to read the QR code, but couldn’t find one.

      Error correction is always used, in case the QR code is damaged in a way that leaves a valid-looking QR code. In this case, it likely fixed any accidental misstitches. I don’t know how to check how much was used, but thanks for the afternoon project!
