Hi All,
This is a simple heads up to anyone who is interested in the idea of
getting barcode scanned data into your apps.
I've just found the really interesting app 'Scan-IT For Office' :
https://www.tec-it.com/en/software/mobile-data-acquisition/scan-it-to-office/overview/Default.aspx
As per their blurb:
Scan-IT to Office is the*all-in-one solution for remote barcode
scanning and mobile data acquisition*. The mobile app captures data
like bar codes, texts, numbers, locations, images and much more. Cloud
services transfer the collected data immediately to target documents
or target applications on your desktop computer.
NEW:The recently introduced/Smart Keyboard Wedge Tool/for Scan-IT to
Office transfers remotely captured data into arbitrary desktop
applications on your PC or Mac.
I've just had a play around with it this morning, and installed the
keyboard wedge software on my MacBook Pro running 10.12. I put the iOS
app on my iPhone 5S, and had the phone paired with the MBP and sending
in barcodes (with timestamps and Long/Lat) to TextEdit on the Mac in
less than five minutes.
Obviously I haven't used this 'in the field' yet, but I can definitely
see some very interesting possibilities. Hope this helps someone else.
Cheers,
Allan Udy
