Re: [CODE4LIB] Barcode scanner

"Any barcode scanner will do" is not true, some fail on certain code types others need large type as they are blind as a bat. I only mentioned the ones that worked on the tiny barcodes I use. I have a shelf.php screen that is either used on the main PC via USB or the same php via wifi, one selects

Re: [CODE4LIB] Barcode scanner

I agree with Giles' opinion that your regular handheld barcode scanner is sufficient for 95% of use cases and it's a very simple machine -- brand means almost nothing. If the issue is cost, when I wanted one for scanning my own home collection I got a used library barcode scanner (Symbol 1908T-

Re: [CODE4LIB] Barcode scanner

Riley, Basically ANY barcode scanner would work for you. Barcode scanners simply read in data as though it was typed in from a keyboard. What matters is that you have the symbologies you need enabled. Library barcodes tend to be Codabar (which is not always enabled by default), while stores oft

Re: [CODE4LIB] Barcode scanner

John, The biggest problem I can see with this, aside from the never-ending Android/iOS debate, is what to do with the data once it's scanned, as each library may have different needs and/or uses for this data; importing to a database, dump it in a text file, import it into another app, etc. Unles

It just so happens that CDW's deal of the week is the Motorola LI2208 Barcode Scanner on sale until 7/3 @ 3pm CT for $104.99. I've had no experience with it, but the specs look great. It also supports scanning from a tablet or phone display as well as from printed barcodes. http://www.cdw.co

Re: [CODE4LIB] Barcode scanner

To build on Mark's recommendations, you might try altering Google's open source checkout software to do on-the-fly inventory via a smartphone. The software can interface with most mobile browsers, but it may need some responsive design html update

Re: [CODE4LIB] Barcode scanner

If someone can do this easily, I'd love to get access to the code. The last time we dabbled in Android and iOS barcode reading, it was difficult enough to make us switch to USB scanners that emulate keyboard entry. On Tue, Jul 1, 2014 at 9:50 AM, Mark Pernotto wrote: > I was thinking about this

Re: [CODE4LIB] Barcode scanner

I was thinking about this in Craig's line of thought as well - would it be plausible to just use your phone, a little code and develop your own scanning software? I can't speak much on Android development, but there are established libraries in iOS7 you could program/plugin/develop to read barcode

Hi Katie, I've been playing with natural language processing in both Python and R. There are lots of books and webpages out there with advice but for me, it's easy to get sucked into doing a manipulation that you *can* do instead of what you *should do* to answer your research question (in my ca

Hey Riley, We have metroset voyagers too. They are great, but have you tried extending the functionality of the voyager (or any scanner)? If you haven't, try connecting a USB barcode scanner to an android phone, via a USB OTG adapter cable.
