New Android App
Android Developer Challenge submission by Jeffrey Sharkey
Scan is an Android application that finds pricing and metadata for anything with a barcode. Here are some key features that make Scan stand out:
- Automatic barcode recognition using onboard phone camera using ZXing library
- Shows CD, DVD, or book cover along with detailed reviews from Amazon.com
- Searches over a dozen stores, both online and brick+mortar
- Highlights brick+mortar stores that are nearby, with option to call the store or get directions
- Links to online storefronts to buy online from the phone
- Tracklisting for CDs, along with option to play sample tracks right on phone
- For books, searches local libraries to see if they have a copy
