Barcode-Scanner Keyboard for Android

With this Android soft-keyboard it is possible to scan and enter barcodes with arbitrary apps. A special key on this keyboard invokes the built-in (or an external) camera barcode scanner. The scanned bar-codes are automatically entered into the current text field of the target app, the bar-code data appears as entered manually. Modifications of the target app are not required for this purpose!

The app Barcode-Scanner Keyboard provides an alternative input method for Android devices. If required, the camera scanner is invoked with a single tap. Manual input is - of course - still supported.

Once installed and enabled the input method is available for all apps on your handset or tablet. To ensure universal usability, the Barcode-Scanner Keyboard can be configured to use control keys for simulating cursor movements per target application. The keyboard can be used with conventional apps, with browsers and with remote desktop applications (RDP).

English, German, French, Swedish and Russian keyboard layouts are available; the keyboard layout is adjusted according to the system language of your Android.

It's a real time-saver: The app provides convenient barcode-scanning capabilities, typing efforts are reduced, app-switching or copy/paste operations are eliminated completely and multiple bar-codes are scanned easily with the provided batch-scanning mode.
