Start Your First Scan

Follow these steps to perform a basic batch barcode scan. We are using screenshots on Android for illustration. The iOS version's usage is similar.

Open your app and you will see the following page.

{:width="215"}
Enter Field of View (FOV) scanning mode, press the shutter button to capture a photo and start scanning. The app will show the decoding result from the captured photo. Press "Retake" to scan more barcodes.

{:width="215"} {:width="215"}
After pressing "Retake", the app will reenter the live capturing interface, with the previous decoding result displayed in the bottom‑left corner.

{:width="215"}

Barcodes will be highlighted in different colors:
- Already recognized: green.
- Newly recognized: light blue.
Press the shutter button again. The app will take another photo and try decoding. The recognized barcodes (from the photo as well as camera frames) will be drawn on this last captured photo.

{:width="215"}
Press "Done" to enter the result viewing page. You can view the whole image with recognized barcodes, verify the result and save the result.

{:width="215"}

There are many export options:
- Save to local folder
- Save to OneDrive
- Share to third-party apps
It saves the whole image and a CSV of barcode results.

Note

The export feature requires login.
