Working with barcode scanner from web (Chrome, Internet Explorer)

Working with barcode scanner from web (Chrome, Internet Explorer) O Oleksandr Chekmez 3 years 6 months ago 891 1 0 I`m investigating can we develop web application which will get input from rugged barcode scanner. Web application will run via Chrome or Internet Explorer. How I can get input from the scanner? Is it just scanned value will be inserted into text field using clipboard because scanner will be installed as USB HID? Or I have other options? Can I get more control and info from the scanner on a browser via JavaScript? Thanks!

Datawedge (on all zebra devices) can send the barcode information to Chrome - but it will be just to the current input field.  If chrome can receiver intents then it could also use that method via Datawedge

The Zebra Enterprise browser has full support for the scanner.

Or you could write a simple webserver that runs locally on the device and handler the scanner -  Chrome can then call into that.
