About this app

Use this innovative soft-keyboard to scan barcodes, QR codes, text (OCR) and NFC tags into any app. Invoke the integrated scanners with a single tap, the scanned data appears immediately in the target app like manually typed on the keyboard. This works perfectly with almost any target app without modifications.

TIME SAVING
This keyboard is a convenient time saver! It reduces typing efforts and avoids typing errors. Tedious copy/paste is not required anymore; barcodes and QR codes, texts and NFC tags are scanned without app switching. The keyboard layout resembles the layout of the Android standard keyboard - you will immediately be familiar with it.

VERSATILE
This Scanner Keyboard is very flexible, ready for volume licensing, optimized for bulk deployment and can be configured to meet virtually all requirements. It meets demands of commercial, industrial, logistics and supply chain applications.

BARCODE SCANNING
Choose between two integrated camera barcode scanners. The traditional barcode scanner is ideal for older phone models, the recently introduced advanced barcode scanner provides selective barcode scanning - a very valuable feature if multiple barcodes are visible in the scan view.

TEXT RECOGNITION (OCR)
The integrated text scanner (OCR), converts camera images to text within seconds. Latin-based text in pictures of arbitrary documents is detected automatically and inserted into the target app.
