I'm looking for a program that will allow me to scan objects (books particularly) with the barcode scanner so that i can produce a csv file, that i can export to certain sites (goodreads, specifically.) The csv file would (in my circumstances) need the isbn, author/title.
Does anyone know of something that would work for this?
I am not sure there is something already available that does this, but it wouldn't be exceptionally difficult to throw something like this together. Just hit the barcode scanner, do a quick internet search (I am pretty sure that there's at least one books search api out there), then spit the results to csv file.
sorry about being completely ignorant about this, and thank you for the response.
But how would those 3 things connect together?
I do have the barcode scanner
apparently google has a booksearch api.
But as far as combining those into something that would make a csv file.
i'm lost.
Is this something a person like myself who doesn't have computer skills can put together or no?
my barcode scanner doesn't let me scan qr codes, anyone know why this happens?
bump.... just in case somebody wants to take this project into their code making hands.

Hi,
is there by any chance a software that reads barcodes? Like worldcard?
For example is it possible to take a picture of a barcode from an invoice and then a program on ppc reads all information: when you gotta pay, to whom, what number of bank account, what amount etc.? And then you can export it to calendar?
Maybe it would be to beautiful to have such soft but maybe something like this exists?
Thanks
Piotr
I'm not sure the barcode on the invoice has any such info *useful to you*. Bar codes are very limited things, probably just your account number...
It would be great if people would come up with a standard for putting the info you mentioned into a QRcode, it could be very useful.
Maybe something like this:
http://www.pocketpcfreeware.mobi/download-quickmark-v3-3-barcode-reader.html
This would be interesting if it works. Would be interesting to see if it copies the information into something like Excel.
Barcodes are great for inventory and data input. For example, scanning in the serial number or mac address of devices... basically long strings which are easily mis-typed.
For the everyday person, its probably not much use.
Is there a Way to make a Offline Wikipedia?
I didnt found just online Wikis but no offline?
Put the Wiki on the SD and open with a App?
Hope someone can help me!
I would imagine that it would take quite a lot of space to put the entire wiki database on an SD card. Hundreds of gigs.
ther eis an app for winmo
that does that....
it has 2 versions, one you buy with no updates
and the other one you buy and have unlimited updates...
the website has a mailing list to be notified when it will eb avail for android...
however i dont remember either the name or the website .... i did sign up for the newsletter though...
There's a handful for ipods and a few hacks for other devices. Basically you need two thing: the static HTML files and an HTML viewer.
There's some static DLs here, I can't grab these at work though. anyone want to test chucking one on their SD and seeing if Astro or Linda will open them in a browser?
If the HTML files are available, or if someone can grab the ipod files, I'm sure there's some dev on here smart enough to get a reader working.
EDIT: looks like XML files might be the best way to go. Just need an app to parse it.

Hello,
I am thinking of substituting Google Docs for my basic word editor as I can access and edit files through it on my phone. However, there is one function delaying me from this switch, printing. Is there any way to print a Google Doc, or any document for that matter, through a wifi connected printer from Android or one of its apps? I realize that this may be quite impossible but I would like to be assured one way or the other.
Thank you,
Evervoid
look for the "send 2 printer" in the market it might help
Hi,
Today when I ordered my flight tickets i got a SMS with a link to see flight-information. In the browser i also got a "barcode" (QR/DR code? Im not sure).
I have tried the Marked to find an application to scan this code directly from my Android Webbrowser, but I cant find any. (Its pretty hard to use my phone cam to scan my phone screen )
Does anyone knows how?
Forward the SMS to your email account, check your email on a PC, scan the barcode from there
Hmmm, isnt there any barcode scanner that could read from the phone-display? :-((
Dont understand why WAP pages uses this kind of content if the cellphones arent able to use it straight from the phone-webbrowser?
- Kind of irritating that you have to lunch the wap page in a PC-browser and than scan the barcode. I doesnt always have my computer with me, and the reason why im using Andorid- and/or WM-OS, is just because that I could use my phone as a substitute for my computer when I dont have it around.
Tried your solution with "Barcode Scanner", but it didnt reconize it?? Maybe I have to use another type of scanner/app?
Here is the barcode (added the red line because the barcode have personal information)
Er, I was just suggesting a workaround until you found something that worked like you specified
Your QR code looks weird anyway, they usually have boxes in 3 of the corners.
Example
Its seems like my QR Code has one box only - and thats in the middle. Isn' it a QR Code maby?
Looks like the code is a DM Code: Example

It's neither a QR code nor a DM code. I don't know the specific name of it, but the picture you provided above is a new bar code that, as far as I know, is only used for paperless boarding passes. I don't know about internationally, but here in the US, it's currently only available at a few dozen airports while the system is being tested. I've used it flying out of both Newark, NJ (EWR) and Atlanta, GA (ATL).
It's a special 2D barcode that contains encrypted information about your flight information, as well as some personal information to identify you. It is specifically designed to be secure so that only the TSA and the airlines can decode the information. Most likely, the reason you received it was not so that you could scan it to get information about your ticket, but so that the TSA could scan it at security and the airline could scan it at the gate. Ideally, you wouldn't then need to print out a paper boarding pass, all you would need is your phone! (I say ideally, because since it's a brand new program, not everybody's really familiar with it yet, and you get some funny looks from the gate agents sometimes!)
Does anyone know a good app I can download view and edit Excel or Word files on? I have tried:
OfficeSuite
E-cell xls
Word To Go
I have attached a copy of the Excel file I am trying to manipulate on the G-Tab. I am able to open, view, and edit the file (well sort of edit). If you view the file file via Excel on you computer you will see it has "check boxes" but I am not able to see them on any of the above mentioned apps. Does anyone know of an app that I can do this with?
The form is being created for use in a physicians' clinic, to help avoid the the clutter of paper and eligible writing.
I was not able to upload (size limit) the Word file I want to be able to edit. But this file is filled with "drop down" menus which do not show up when opened on the G Tab.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Dave
That Excel sheet is full of Windows Forms controls. Since those are ActiveX controls I doubt *very* seriously you are going to find any programs on the G Tablet that will allow this file to work correctly. ActiveX, if you aren't familiar with it, is extremely Windows-centric. And at this point, fairly out dated.
