I will check out the listables app now

Hmm ok, I will look into this but wont be for awhile. I should have said my app does more like the opposite, it generates QR codes, not scans them.

What you are seeking should be relatively easy on the phone side, there is an open source barcode scanner what can handle running the cammera and grabbing the data. The Scanner has a good api for developers to tie in to also. The tricky part is passing that data somewhere useful.

Unfortunately I dont know enough about PC programming to program an app to capture the data from the USB driver of a phone.

But like my app, I could paste it to a clipboard, or email it or write to a file on the SD.

As I learn more though i'll pop back in this thread and see if I can put in some updates on what I find
