Scanner KeyboardScan Barcodes, Text (OCR) and NFC Tags into Any App

This soft-keyboard for Android is a real time-saver! Besides manual typing, this keyboard scans barcodes, texts (OCR) and NFC tags directly into any app. The integrated scanners are invoked with a single tap, the scanned data appears immediately in the target app as manually typed by the user. This works perfectly without modifying existing apps; app-switching or copy/paste is no longer required.

NEW: Ability to customize the scanned data to the needs of the target app

Scan Barcodes, Text and NFC Tags with your Android Smartphone or Tablet


Barcode / QR Code® Scanner

Choose between two integrated barcode scanner engines: The Traditional Barcode Scanner, known from previous versions, is ideal for older phone models, the newly introduced Advanced Barcode Scanner provides additional features.

Selective Scanning

With the Advanced Barcode Scanner, you scan the barcode of interest by simply tapping on it. This is a very valuable feature if multiple barcodes are visible in the scan view.

Text Recognition (OCR)

The integrated Text Scanner converts camera images to text within seconds and makes typewriting obsolete. Latin-based text in pictures of arbitrary documents is detected automatically and inserted into the target app.

NFC Tag Reading

In addition to the barcode and text scanner, the keyboard offers an integrated NFC Reader for ISO 15693 (NfcV), NfcA, NfcF, IsoDep and NDEF tags.

Versatile Soft-Keyboard

The Scanner Keyboard convinces with a number of valuable features:

Seamless Integration
In addition to manual typing this keyboard is able to scan linear and 2D barcodes, texts (OCR) and NFC tags immediately into target apps. The integrated scanners are invoked with just a single tap.
Easy to Use
This keyboard resembles the layout of the Android standard keyboard - you will immediately be familiar with it. The keyboard also provides voice recognition and spelling suggestions.
Works with Any App
Captured data is inserted into the target app like manual input. This input method is available for almost all apps and browsers on smartphones and tablets.
Enhancing Productivity
This keyboard reduces typing efforts and avoids typing errors. Tedious copy/paste is not required anymore. Data is scanned without switching between apps.
Batch Processing / Autoscan
The integrated scanners can be operated in batch mode. Autoscan invokes the scanner automatically in certain input fields of a target app.
Highly Customizable
The app is very flexible and can be configured to meet almost any requirement (e.g. by automatically pressing enter after reading a barcode). Customized app versions are available on request.

Thanks again and GREAT product! It is going to be a huge blessing and benefit to our company.

Very good keyboard with excellent integration of a barcode and text scanner. A separate scanner is obsolete. Excellent support [...]. Clear recommendation!

THANK YOU! For creating your barcode keyboard for Android. It is EXACTLY what my clients need to use my web-based software.
Brad Dubay
Scans quite nicely, although the quality of the phone's camera really determines how well it recognizes the bar codes. I also really love the feature of being able to tap on the bar code you want when there are multiple bar codes on the screen.
Grég Cha
THIS APP IS GODLIKE to scan, the OCR is amazing and 2D codes read perfectly. I use it every day, I scan a lot of serial numbers, 2D codes, and sometimes I use OCR. For the price you can buy it closed eyes, like we say in French "Les yeux fermer". I've tried many scanning apps since a few years ago. This is the only one I've kept. Try it, take a look at all options... And finally buy.
