I doubt it. They go through a lot spying on each other's prices and don't want to make it easy for you and me. Back a few decades ago I had a scanner plugged into a TRS-80 Model 100 (yes, a notebook computer in the early 1980's). I got lots of dirty looks from grocers, they didn't like me doing that. Funny thing is that this was a real scanner, not camera based. hrmm, USB based is technically possible on android...
