Read barcode from Windows device?

Andrea Zenner

Hello,

Is it possible to read a barcode using a Windows OS device? We know this feature is available via a mobile, iOS or Android, device however we want to be able to use a handheld scanner with Windows tablets on our shop floor to scan barcodes that populate as “text” in Smartsheet.

Thanks much!

It should be possible as long as you get the correct drivers, actually the barcode scanners is almost like a keyboard, it will read the image, translate to text and send it as text, I have implemented this solution under different environments and technically it is possible.
