BarCode Scanner for Calibre
Guys! Hello everybody!
I am very new am dI am very happy to be here! Calibre is amazing and I am becoming a great lover of it! Thank You to developers! I have a strange question ... Once I would like to use Calibre as a DataBAse for my paper books too ... would it be possible to use a BarCode Scanner in order to scan ISDN numbers or BarCode and get them straight into Calibre? I know, sounds strange, but ... it is interesting to me! thank You everybody! Pietro |

Yes!
It was called a Keyboard Wedge when there was the older round (PS2) connections, because you unplugged the keyboard from the PC plugged the scan cable in, then plugged the keyboard into the 'Y" of the cable. ( You needed the keyboard plugged in or the PC never enabled ITS port) Now, a USB version just plugs in . IMHO avoid the cheaper 'flood' type models (You hold against the item and the whole area lights up red. You want a model that uses a bright line and can be used a few inches away (or more) I used the ADD FROM ISBN (right click on the ADD icon). do batches of 10 or so and resolve the Not founds/fails while the pile is small ) BTW this feature has its own Add Tag that is different from the main add's one, so get creative in your thinking. eg "<in paper library>" Last edited by theducks; 09-08-2019 at 10:16 AM. Reason: fixed hold |

AMAZING APPs instead of a gun!
Guys! I've just uncover that we do not even need a scanner-gun! There are APPs for iOS and Android which can scan "n" ISBN codes and save a list into an Ecxel file.
THIS IS AMAZING! Good luck everybody! Pietro ^_^ |
