I can scan barcodes that show up on a PC screen, but it does not work on products.
Even with autofocus, great light and great direction, the barcode scan doesn't work on products.
Is there any app for Android that will work?

Google Goggles works well.

I need a barcode scanner that scans into a browser field so i can use my android phone as an extension of our epos system. However most barcode apps seems to work in isolation. Do you know if there is an app that does what i require?

ScanLife is great! I've never used it for ordinary barcodes, but it works perfectly with QR codes on my cheap Android phone which has a rubbish camera.

hiThanks for replyQuestion is not for codes on computer screen , but for scanning codes on labels of products like on books,groceryI have used apps for bar code scanningThey could work on codes on computer screen but did not directly on labels Have you tried to do on codes on labels of books or an item ( except on computer screen )?

Yes, absolutely. I've used ScanLife on printed QR codes (the square "barcodes"). However, I've not used it on traditional barcodes and comment on that. It's free, so give it a try!

Actually reason for asking this question , is that whether it is necessary to do auto-focus , bright light and a specific direction to scan printed codes

Sorry, my camera has fixed focus and auto-exposure, so never had to find out! If you do find out, put a post on this page to let us know the results!
