## Description

**Barcode & QR Scanner Keyboard** turns Android phones into practical barcode scanners for warehouse, retail, inventory, logistics and field service teams. Scan directly into SAP Business One, Oracle WMS, Microsoft Dynamics, Odoo, Excel, Google Sheets or any app with a text input field—without app switching, copy-paste, custom integrations or scanner hardware.

The app supports major 1D and 2D barcode formats, batch scanning, auto-scan triggers, speed mode, barcode trimming and flashlight-assisted scanning. Its on-device scanning engine works fully offline, while REST API support enables real-time data transmission to ERP, WMS, CRM or custom backends. Enterprise teams can request volume licensing, unlimited device licenses, custom branding and white-label deployments.
