Barcode to PC: Wi-Fi scanner 4+
No really if I could give this app more than the 5 star rating I would. If you need a barcode scanner for your computer, this app will absolutely meet your needs. I did a full store inventory with it and I am absolutely happy with my purchase(I bought the unlimited use license). A+++. Also worth noting, the creator of this software is very responsive, so if you have any questions be sure to shoot them an email and they will definitely take care of your concerns.
App is great
It’s simple and it just works. It’s very fast and reliable. However, one thing that would make the user interface much better is an option to turn off automatic scanning when the camera lens is open. This would give us an opportunity to focus in on the correct barcode. Some boxes have multiple barcodes close to each other and it is very easy to scan the wrong one, causing waste of time later deleting unwanted information. This can increase scanning speed and make it more accurate.
Even better, adding an on-screen button to trigger the scan whenever the we align the center of the red square with the barcode we wish to scan. That way the app knows which barcode we want to scan.
Another idea, if we point the camera to a label with multiple barcodes and then we tap on the barcode we want to scan to trigger the reading for only that barcode. This would make things much easier.
Sorry but there are two issues…
The app works great but two issue had me looking for alternatives. I couldn’t find any, so hopefully the developer will read this.
I use this with Windows 10. This app loses connection with the pc every time the iPhone screen goes black. Which is often for my use case. I scan a barcode and then have to enter other values on the pc. When I have to scan another barcode, the screen has since gone black and the connection is lost. I have to wait for it to reconnect. It is annoying, wasting time and ruining my flow.
The second issue is that the scanning could be a lot faster. I have another app for work that also scans barcodes. That thing is straight up magic. I don’t have to wait for the camera to focus nor align the barcode to some line. On this app I have to dance the object front and back. So the scanning speed needs improvement.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Works a treat — simple to set up and easy to use — works every time while other apps I tried lacked the reliability that this app has.
Yosafat Dedi Wijaya
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is the most useful app I found in the play store. It works perfectly as a barcode scanner and it has amazing network capabilities. No need to buy an actual barcode scanner, just use this app.
A Google user
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Excellent app and ready to use. I just need the ability to track inventory, i.e. first scan of an item adds to your inventory. Scan it again removes it from inventory. I work for a large company and this could save us so many headaches and man hours if implemented.
Thaddeus Nienajadly
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ AWESOME! Exactly what I’ve been looking for. I developed an MS Access app for PC and needed an easy way to get barcodes in the database. You could even include keyboard commands during scanning to move the cursor around fields, etc.
Jonathan Stuart
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fantastic app — the best barcode scanning solution. I tested multiple barcode scanner apps and this one was the fastest and most reliable. So I tested it further and found it extremely powerful. The app itself is simple to use but what makes it so powerful is.
Alinafe Nthondowa
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Tried a lot of bar code scanners. Didn’t work. This one is very easy to setup. Does the required job right. Thanks guys 👍
Magellan End
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ In one word: Perfect. Quickly scans barcodes and automatically writes them into excel (existing file, just as if you had written it yourself) and hits enter. Perfect for my Inventory Excel file. I’m confident this app will scan any type of barcode just fine. Thank you.
Andy Dunbar
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I use it to open files on my computer and this software has changed the way we work.
We have removed many unnecessary steps from our workflow and thought process.
Thank you for helping to make my life easier.

FAQs – Frequently asked questions
How do i put the scans on my spreadsheet (or other software)?
- Download Barcode to PC server
- Install and start the server on your computer
- Install the app on your smartphone and open it
- Now the app should connect automatically to the server, if nothing happens follow the instructions on screen
- Once the app is connected open your spreadsheet or whatever software in which you want to scan in, and position
the cursor wherever you want to scan - Scan your barcodes by tapping the camera icon in the app
- Thanks to the Keyboard Emulation, the barcode will be typed in the cursor position
Can i use it without a Wi-Fi connection?
If you don’t have access to a Wi-Fi network, you can always use your smartphone as a Wi-Fi hotspot, by following this steps:
- Enable the Wi-Fi hotspot on your smartphone See how here
- Connect your computer to the Wi-Fi hotspot
- Add the server manually using the QR Code
Note that Barcode to PC server doesn’t require an internet connection, as matter of fact that it uses the LAN to communicate, thus, in most of the cases it is required only the Wi-Fi network.
What are the supported barcode types?
The app doesn’t find the computer
- Your computer and your smartphone are connected to the same network. It doesn’t matter if your computer has a wired connection as long as it is plugged into the same access point where your smartphone is connected.
- Barcode to PC server is in your Antivirus exceptions list. (It’s the most common cause of connection errors)
- Your computer is discoverable. See Windows Firewall settings
- Both app and server are updated to the latest version.
If you’re still unable to connect, try to pair the app with the QR Code, as explained here
How do i configure the firewall?
You must add the Barcode to PC server executable to the firewall exceptions, and allow the connections for the port 57891 TCP and 5353 UDP.
Once you do that, follow the appropriate tutorial for your OS:
Add the server manually
There are two ways to add the server manually.
The first is by using the QR Code:
- Open the server
- Click Info, and the connect QR Code should appear
- Open the app
- Open the menu and tap “Select server”
- Tap the scan icon [ ] and scan the QR Code displayed on your computer
- Open the app
- Open the menu and tap “Select server”
- Tap the “+ ADD SERVER” button and type the IP address of the server
To find your PC’s IP address:
The app shows the “Connection problem” error
The most common cause of this issue is that the firewall and/or antivirus is blocking the communication between the
app and the server. See How do i configure my firewall?
Which port does the server use?
Barcode to PC server runs a WebSocket server on the 57891 TCP port.
If you’re using the smartphone from an external network you need to add the server manually using your public IP address.
The server shows the “Apple Bonjour is missing” error
This means that the installer has failed to install the Apple Bonjour package and this implies that the app may fail to detect the server automatically, and in order to connect the app you may need to add the server manually.
To remove this alert and take advantage of the auto-discovery feature:
- If you’re on Windows try to install Barcode to PC server again with an administrator account and then reboot your system.
- If you’re on Linux install avahi .
