Heya folks,

I'm looking for a solution to scan ISBN codes from my book collection into a some sort of library or catalog database.
I'm wondering if someone here would know of a software that can be used on the HTC TyTN II (at&t Tilt), or any Win Mobile device with a camera.

I've found the Barcode/13 program, but that's only for palmOne Treo 600. I could work with something similar just to create a CVS file of ISBN numbers and transfer that to another program on my PC, but would rather have an all-in-one software.

Thanks,

Zyir

well, I found a few things, no real luck though...

Microsoft's A.U.R.A. is kinda nifty to play with. It'll scan 1D barcodes, but I'm not finding any options to export the codes after they've been scanned. Also, it requires a 'manual' photo of the barcode; it opens the camera utility and ya use it like taking a normal macro photo (Zoom in, hope your hand is steady, and snap, then find a blurry image. Repeat multiple times until ya get a clear image that can be read).

QuickMark and i-nigma are great for 2D barcodes; they both make good use of the device's auto-focus and will read a 2D barcode without the need to manually take a photo. Though, neither of them will read 1D linear barcodes like the ISBN numbers on the books I'd like to scan.

Also, one person pointed out something that looks like it would work wonderfully, but I wasn't able to find any Windows Mobile software that uses it, nor a download for a working implementation: http://www.mobileama.com/Barcode.htm

So, does anyone else know of something that could be used by an individual who just wants to scan their books with an HTC Windows Mobile device?
I'm still hoping for something more like 'Barcode/13', or an inventory software that will make use of the device's camera.


Thanks,

Zyir

Yeah I investigated this a few years back, and you would be better off with a dedicated pocket pc barcode scanner.
If you had an M500 or equivelent (Large SD slot) you can get the actual hardware scanning mechanism incorporated into an SD memory card that plugs into your phone.

Socketcom has also a bunch of readers, so probably they also provide the software !

Here are my list of barcode readers:

i-Nigma - probably the best one out there






--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

QuickMark - an alternative reader for QRcodes







and finally if you have installed one of those you can test it with scanning this barcode image:
