The "CamScan Keyboard" with integrated bar-code scanner and NFC functionalities lets you scan wherever you can type.

It reduces manual typing and eliminates copy and paste. A special key invokes the built-in camera barcode scanner.

The scanned bar-codes or NFC transponders are automatically entered into the current text field of the target app. English, German, French, Spanish, Swedish, Finnish, Hebrew, Serbian Cyrillic and Russian keyboard layouts are available, the keyboard layout is adjusted according to the system language of your Android.
