Place a barcode inside the viewfinder rectangle to scan it.
Most apps can type but not scan. Scanner Keyboard turns every Android text field into a capture target: the keyboard itself scans barcodes with the camera, reads text via OCR and NFC tags – and types the result wherever the cursor is.
Scanning wherever you can type.
Add barcode, text and NFC capture to Android apps that already accept typing, without rebuilding their input screens.
Three capture modes
Camera barcode scanning, OCR text recognition and NFC tag reading.
Enterprise-ready
Bulk licensing and auto-import of license and settings files for fleets.
Turn the keyboard into a scanner.
Keep using the app you already have.
Scan into the active field
Open the keyboard’s camera scanner and insert the captured identifier directly where the cursor is.
Read printed text with OCR
Capture Latin-based printed text with the camera and use the recognized result in the current application.
Capture data from NFC tags
Use the integrated NFC reader to insert tag data into an existing app’s text field.
Reliable infrastructure
Capture without integration projects.
Existing apps stay untouched – the keyboard adds scanning to every input field on the device.

Yes. Scanner Keyboard reads 1D and 2D barcodes through the camera. You can also capture printed text with OCR and data from NFC tags.
