ScanPut: Camera to Keyboard

ScanPutLab

About this app

ScanPut turns your phone into a wireless Bluetooth keyboard that scans printed or on-screen text with your camera and types it straight into your PC — no typing, no cables, no PC software to install.

Point your camera at any text, and ScanPut uses on-device OCR (optical character recognition) to recognize it and send it to your computer as real keystrokes. It works in any app on your PC that accepts keyboard input.

Built for anyone who re-keys printed documents into a computer all day. If your job means reading numbers and details off paper and typing them into software, ScanPut does the typing for you — scan and it's entered, accurately and in seconds. For example, hospital and insurance staff can scan payment numbers and claim IDs from a document and drop them straight into their system, skipping slow, error-prone manual entry.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Pair your phone to your PC over Bluetooth.
2. Point your camera at the text you want.
3. ScanPut recognizes the text and types it into your PC.
