Start Scanning Now
BarcodeSleuth starts in a mode that is ready to scan anything in front of it.
It reads multiple barcode types and once decoded, the text is shown at in the text field.
Create Your Own Barcodes
It uses this text to generate a barcode image. You can hit the left/right buttons to show the text rendered as different barcode formats.
A long press on the Share ... message at the bottom presents a context menu to change the default sharing mode to:
- A single barcode.
- A stock check CSV file containing barcode text, scan counts and GPS coordinates.
- A list of barcode images for printing.
Generate Bulk Barcodes
This app can open CSV files which loads the data as if it had been scanned. This data can then be shared to generate barcodes for printing.
Follow these simple steps to generate bulk barcodes.
- Create a CSV file using your favourite text editor with the following columns (no header row)
- Text (i.e. 912345678123)
- Barcode Type (i.e. EAN13)
- Email the CSV as an attachment to yourself.
- BarcodeSleuth is configured to open CSV files, so just choose it when you open the attachement on your device.
- Long press on the Share ... text at the bottom of the screen and check that it is set to Share for Printing. This setting will be remembered until you change it.
- Hit the Share button and email the generated barcodes to yourself for printing on labels.
