So the built-in camera can not be used??WestCoastProjects– WestCoastProjects2016-03-07 04:56:21 +00:00Commented Mar 7, 2016 at 4:56

I am sure you could, because there are apps out there that allow you to scan bar codes with your phone. However, I am sure you are not seeing much software (I did a cursory search myself) that turns a camera into a bar code scanner simply because the actual bar code scanner is much more efficient and easier to use. Think about it...are you going to either pick up the package or your computer to position the camera to "see" the barcode?Allan– Allan2016-03-07 05:00:54 +00:00Commented Mar 7, 2016 at 5:00

Thx for looking into this. I have upvoted but not accepted (at least not yet). I am also going to look into the other answer a bit.WestCoastProjects– WestCoastProjects2016-03-07 05:45:31 +00:00Commented Mar 7, 2016 at 5:45

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. macbook-pro), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
