ScanKey - QR OCR NFC Keyboard

Best app so far for adding a barcode scanner over the keyboard. That said, had some hang ups. For one thing, nothing indicates that the scanning line is centered on the camera, which makes lining up multiple nearby barcodes tricky, as I have to eyeball them or open the scanner again if I scan the wrong one. Post-processing formatting works well except it does not fix the issue I have with scanning UPC codes, which adds a zero before the actual number and removes the digit at the end which requires manually typing the last digit to correct it, adding some difficulty to an otherwise very well implemented feature. Post processing only fixes the extra preceding character but not the missing trailing character.

This is a great little keyboard, it really is. But it is lacking in areas of capitalization, auto correct, punctuation, and the ability to hide the keyboard. For instance, I use TeamViewer a lot in my business, and when this keyboard stays on screen, I lose a lot of visible space. this, above all, is something that really needs to be implemented into the design. Auto capitalization would also be great, but isn't as important to me personally as the ability to hide the keyboard. All of that aside, the actual functions of this app its well worth a dollar.

It is configurable to support most any barcode. The post scan processing features help you adjust to any website requirements. I am writing this review using the apps keyboard. I am not aware of another scanning app that includes a full function keyboard. The text scanning feature is also very cool. The developer is very enthusiastic about the product and works on improvements all the time. Please read the FAQs and watch the video you will scanning away in no time!

We had a bunch of customers who needed to be able to scan barcodes in to their own app. Many of the other barcode scanners have in-app purchases/resitrictions, intrusive ads, or a poor workflow where you have to physically switch to their app to scan a barcode, then copy and paste the results to wherever they need it. The ScanKey app acts as a keyboard replacement so the workflow is as easy as using a keyboard - the auto-scan feature toggling is great as well.

We evaluated several iPhone barcode sled hardware options for our new warehouse management system web app but found this gem at a fraction of the price that that works perfectly with the camera and saved us on hardware costs. Would recommend removing the audio that plays when selecting the Camera Access option which is not appropriate for business environments. Excellent work!
