ScanKeys: Barcode Keyboard

An Android keyboard with a barcode scanner built in: scan a label and the code is typed into any app.

About ScanKeys: Barcode Keyboard

ScanKeys replaces the usual copy-paste dance of a separate scanner app. It is a full QWERTY keyboard for Android with a Scan key: point the camera at a label and the code is typed into whatever field has focus, so it works in Google Sheets, Excel, inventory and point-of-sale apps, shipping tools, chats and web forms without any integration. It reads Code 128, Code 39, Code 93, Codabar, EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E, ITF, QR Code, Data Matrix, PDF417 and Aztec at any angle; with several labels in view, the one in the middle is typed. Auto-Enter submits the code (handy for searches and spreadsheets that move to the next row), and you can add a prefix, a suffix or a Tab to jump to the next field. Continuous mode is built for stock counts, with a guard so a label held in view is typed once. ScanKeys has no internet permission, no ads, no analytics and no account: barcodes are decoded on the phone and nothing you type or scan can leave it.

Can I scan barcodes into Google Sheets or Excel?▾

Yes. Switch to the ScanKeys keyboard in the cell, tap Scan, and the code is typed in. With Auto-Enter on, each scan moves to the next row, so you can scan a column of items in a row.

Does ScanKeys work in my inventory app?▾

It works in any app with a text field, because it is a keyboard: inventory and point-of-sale apps, shipping tools, browsers and chats. No integration is needed.

Does ScanKeys send my data anywhere?▾

No. The app has no internet permission, so nothing you type or scan can leave your phone. Barcodes are decoded on the device.

Is there an iPhone version?▾

No. ScanKeys is an Android app; iOS does not let keyboards use the camera.
