ScanKey is an additional keyboard for iOS devices, which integrates a scanner for QR-/bar codes and an OCR scanner (Optical Character Recognition) to recognize printed alpha numeric text and words with the camera. With iPhone 7 and iPhone Plus 7 or higher you can read NFC tags from app and directly from keyboard. This makes work easier e.g. for filling out forms, which require to enter complex codes or IDs by hand (Example: EAN product codes). With ScanKey keyboard simply scan the codes or text and it will be filled automatically in the active text field. In QR-/barcode scanner you can either scan single codes or use batch mode to scan multiple codes which will be merged together with a configurable separator. With the Post-Processor Engine, it's really easy to modify the scan result with various filters which can be configured in any specific order. The in-app Image-To-Text function extracts non-handwritten text from images. Quick actions allows you to trigger in-app scans very fast from your home screen. QWERTZ and QWERTY and NUMERIC layout is supported. Supported codes: • UPCECode • Code39Code • Code39Mod43 • Code93 • Code128 • EAN8 • EAN13, • Aztec • PDF417 • QRCode • DataMatrix • Code-2of5 Interleaved • ITF14 Supported text: • hundreds of serif and sans-serif fonts • alpha numeric text (e.g. ABC1337) • Words and sentences • Multi-line • HAND-WRITTEN TEXT NOT SUPPORTED! Supported NFC tags: • Text (UTF-8 and UTF-16) • Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) • Smart poster • TextXVCard • Wifi configurations Supported post-processors: • Add character(s) at start/end • Remove leading/trailing character(s) • Regex string replacement (Regular Expression) • Text replacement (case-sensitive or case-insensitive) Additional features: • Automatically copy scan result to clipboard • Automatically return after scan finished • Automatically remove checksum of EAN/-UPC-Codes
Great app
Exactly what I was looking for, to enter data from QR codes into a Numbers spreadsheet. I would have been happy to pay for it, but since the developer won’t take my money 😀 all I can do is express my gratitude for this great app. Thanks!
Wrong camera
The app uses the wide angle camera and won’t focus on barcodes.
Doesn’t work with iPhone 14 Pro
This app worked great on an older iPhone. But without the option to choose which camera the app uses, I cannot get it to focus enough on the barcode to read. I think it is because it is using the wide-angle camera instead of using the normal camera. Hopefully can be addressed in an update.
Great
Love this app!
Breaks iOS’ multilingual autocorrect
It took me months to realize that this custom keyboard was the reason why multilingual autocorrect stopped working on my iPhone. You don’t have to be using the keyboard itself. The moment this keyboard is part of your keyboard list, multilingual autocorrect stops working no matter the keyboard you use.
Only works intermittently on iOS 15
I've been using this app for several years now, and it's been tremendously valuable. Unfortunately, since upgrading to iOS 15, it doesn't always return the scanned data to the app anymore. Sometimes it still works, but frequently I can scan a barcode, see the value in the scanning window, but get nothing at all in Notes or whatever app once I tap OK.
Best free scanner keyboard
It support auto select first one barcode scanned, auto add Enter at the bottom.
