The Fundamental Difference
First, the main CodeREADr app offers more features than the CodeREADr KEY app. So, why use CodeREADr KEY?
Mainly, people already use native iOS or Android OS apps or Web apps, and they simply want to add high-performance barcode scanning. The CodeREADr KEY app will seamlessly work in the background to insert scan data into the form fields of those apps without any programming required.
CodeREADr
Configure the CodeREADr app’s workflow on the CodeREADr.com website. Then, view and manage your scan records on the website. Also, you can post them to your own servers or auto-export them to 3rd party database programs (Excel, Sheets, etc.)
