@POWH_RPS when you use the native camera app on the phone (iOS anyway) it behaves as it does. And taken a photo in iOS it can recognize a QR code and take you to a website but you want it just to read the info and put it into a field I believe. That cannot be done I think

Then there are keyboards that can read QR code but the use relies on people installing a special app which is cumbersome.

So we just need glide to add extra capability to also read QR code’s 🕶

> Hello, i just arrive on Glide and i was looking for this feature also to See if it’s possible. You can use Niko Keyboard, it’s an Android app Which allow you to scan barcode direct using Keyboard of your Phone. You just put an input box and then you touch the box and when Keyboard appears, you will be able to scan barcode I use it for work and that’s pretty useful to fill input box from barcode. Hope it can help you.
