About this app

Use this innovative soft-keyboard to scan barcodes, QR codes, text (OCR) and NFC tags into any app. Invoke the integrated scanners with a single tap, the scanned data appears immediately in the target app like manually typed on the keyboard. This works perfectly with almost any target app without modifications.

TIME SAVING
This keyboard is a convenient time saver! It reduces typing efforts and avoids typing errors. Tedious copy/paste is not required anymore; barcodes and QR codes, texts and NFC tags are scanned without app switching. The keyboard layout resembles the layout of the Android standard keyboard - you will immediately be familiar with it.

VERSATILE
This Scanner Keyboard is very flexible, ready for volume licensing, optimized for bulk deployment and can be configured to meet virtually all requirements. It meets demands of commercial, industrial, logistics and supply chain applications.

BARCODE SCANNING
Choose between two integrated camera barcode scanners. The traditional barcode scanner is ideal for older phone models, the recently introduced advanced barcode scanner provides selective barcode scanning - a very valuable feature if multiple barcodes are visible in the scan view.

TEXT RECOGNITION (OCR)
The integrated text scanner (OCR), converts camera images to text within seconds. Latin-based text in pictures of arbitrary documents is detected automatically and inserted into the target app.

Ratings and reviews

OK, when it works. I've only used it in Chrome to enter Pokemon card codes, but most the time, it wont enter the code automatically. Another suggestion to the dev is to shrink the scanning window, similar to how inserting an image through Google's SMS app works. It feels like a smoother workflow since you aren't constantly switching screens.

Pretty good initial results on Data Matrix. I like the idea of not showing the virtual keyboard unless activated; just scan and fill the textbox in focus. Optionally divert output from textbox to Bluetooth, then phone becomes a scanner for apps on another Android device (tablet). Helpful if the tablet is too big to get into barcode location (on back of equipment).

We're interested in buying multiple licenses but are having issues with the keyboard output not working on some devices when scanning NFC. On some devices, it works flawlessly; on others it will only output a random number of characters, or not at all if using the "all at once" behaviour. An okay app — but help with these issues would make it a great one.
