Does anyone know of some software where you can scan barcodes or manually input an item and it will keep an inventory for you. I mostly would want something where the scan the barcode worked more than the manual input. I can make a manual list of my items in something like listpro.
It would be nice if a developer here would create something that could link to the SpringPadIt web site. I know I've seen some barcode scanning software that looks up price, but a lot of times I'm shopping and don't remember if I have a certain book or DVD or CD and don't want to buy a duplicate.
Maybe there is something like this and I just haven't found it. If there is, please point me to it.
Here's the Android app:

This question came up because someone was kind enough to supply a barcode I could use to link to a download. Turns out I can't use that download, which I knew by the description of the target.
Meanwhile, it opened up a new question that I would like to learn about and since I cannot find anything in the Streak section that addresses it and I thought other newbs might like to know, I decided to make it its own thread so maybe we can learn something new.
So without further ado, the question:
How do you use the Streak's camera to scan a barcode, especially to follow a link to a download?
Once you download a barcode scanner from the market (or other download option) you use the app.
The app usually uses the camera to capture the barcode. It's as simple as that. Just point it at a barcode and it recognizes it and translates it into url. Problem is that it usually points you to a market download location so if you don't have market installed I'm not sure what it will do.
Here is some info about using a barcode scanner. The barcode scanner is a nifty tool and can be used on many phones, not just the streak. There are many barcode scanning apps in the market.
I found Google Goggles to work the majority of the time, and it handles barcodes and QRCodes.

normally, download a barcode reader depend on the barcode type, and you can decode the barcodes. if you want add the barcode reader into your apps, a barcode reader component is needed. links are often encoded into a qr code nowadays. i just used a KeepDynamic.BarcodeDecoding.Dll which works great!

Hi there,Here is a turorial for a barcode generation. Not sure if it applies.Hope I helped~~~
It doesn't because the question was about how to read barcodes, not write them. However, your contribution is appreciated as knowing how to create barcodes can be useful.

I use this too, in fact it can do a whole lot more then barcodes.... translate text, recognize some objects, solve Sudoku puzzles.
Android stuff is so powerful. Is there an application that can scan a picture (the face to be specific) and search the web for more pics of that person? Google Goggles kinda sorts does it but it only finds the exact same picture and maybe has a name. I'd like to just scan somebody and find more of her. An accuracy range of at least 50% would be OK.

Mods, if this isn't the correct place for this please let me know. I couldn't decide....
I am looking for a programmable barcode scanner app. I would like to be able to have my service guys in the field be able to scan the code on a part and be able to get OUR price for the item.
After much googling I've still been unable to find something that will do that. Maybe my google-fu is off...
Thanks for any help.

You could achieve this very thing "maybe not completely" but you can achieve the desired goal with Tasker, I don't have much experience with Tasker but it's the app that will get you the results you want.
