Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Turn any Android phone into a fast, accurate barcode and QR code scanner keyboard. Scan directly into any app — no dedicated hardware, no integration, no coding required. Just switch to the keyboard and scan. Data appears instantly, as if typed by hand. Trusted by 50,000+ users and 500+ businesses worldwide. The smart, cost-effective keyboard wedge alternative to expensive handheld scanners. HOW IT WORKS Install the app and enable it as a keyboard. Open any app — your ERP, browser, spreadsheet, or warehouse system — tap an input field, switch to the scanner keyboard, and scan. Barcode data is entered instantly. No app switching, no copy-paste, no special setup. SCANNING CAPABILITIES • Reads all major 1D barcodes: EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E, Code-39, Code-93, Code-128, ITF, Codabar • Reads 2D codes: QR Code, Data Matrix, PDF-417, AZTEC • Batch scanning — scan multiple barcodes in sequence for bulk data entry and data acquisition • Barcode trimming — remove unwanted characters from the start or end of scanned data • Auto-scan with keyword triggers for repetitive workflows • Speed mode for scanning successive barcodes at high speed • Flashlight support for low-light warehouse and field environments • Lightning-fast scanning engine with instant results WORKS WITH ANY APP — NO INTEGRATION NEEDED This is a keyboard, not a standalone scanner. It works everywhere text input is accepted: SAP Business One, Oracle WMS, Microsoft Dynamics, Odoo, Chrome, Firefox, Excel, Google Sheets, custom web apps, and thousands more. Scan barcodes directly into spreadsheets, ERP fields, browser forms, or any mobile application. Perfect keyboard wedge replacement for legacy and third-party systems where software can't be modified. WORKS COMPLETELY OFFLINE The scanning engine runs entirely on-device. Scan barcodes and QR codes without any internet connection. Ideal for warehouses, field service locations, remote sites, and environments with restricted network access. REST API INTEGRATION Send scanned barcode data directly to any web endpoint via REST API. Configure custom URLs, set POST or GET requests, add authentication headers, and transmit data to your backend in real time. Connect to ERP, WMS, CRM, or custom inventory systems without building a mobile app. BUILT FOR EVERY INDUSTRY • Warehouse operations — speed up receiving, picking, packing, and shipping • Inventory management — track stock levels, run audits, and streamline cycle counts with batch scanning • Field service — equip technicians with mobile scanning, no bulky devices needed • Retail and POS — scan products at the point of sale on any Android device • Logistics — process shipments, delivery confirmations, and track parcels faster • Data acquisition — collect and capture barcode data for spreadsheets, databases, and cloud systems REPLACE EXPENSIVE SCANNING HARDWARE Traditional Zebra, Honeywell, or Datalogic handheld scanners cost £250–£700 per unit.
