How To Get Product Key For Sygic?

Get product info from barcodes--home inventory

• Q: Translate barcodes to full product info. Where/what are products, databases, or services (including online) that can take barcodes, original or in ASCII digits form, and return product info, rather than just barcode images? Background/explanation: I am inventorying home items, especially hundreds of books, through a WASP barcode reader on my PC. This creates a text file of EAN, UPC etc barcodes in lines of 13 or 18 ASCII digits. If I stick this in a safety deposit box at my financial institution and then there's a fire which wipes out my home, theoretically I have a way of listing what I had. This would also be useful just to look through what I have. But first this list, in this initial ASCII form, has to be translated from ASCII "barcodes" to useful form. E.g. surely somewhere, somehow there is a way to translate a given barcode into at least the publication info often found on what may be the "frontspiece"; viz., the left-hand page with title, ISBN/ISSN, author(s), keywords, LOC number, etc. That's precisely why I'm doing this, as entering all this manually is too much to do. Google searches such as "translating barcodes" or "barcode to product" only turn up software, products, etc. that read a barcode and make an image--of the barcode itself. Again, what is/are product(s) and/or service(s) to go from barcode to product info? Without such, the barcode itself is useless. (Doing this via ISBN should be possible too, but that is almost another question. I expect by answering barcode to product info one should get a start on ISBN to book info, for those books that have no barcode but have ISBN. Again, that is a separate question). Thanks in advance.

  Hi merlin_ch_goo, There are two programs that will make your project a whole lot easier - the hardest task will be choosing which one to get. "Book Collector" and "ReaderWare" (both cost about $40) will let you scan the barcode and will automatically generate a database of your books. Not only will they make an inventory of your books including title, author, etc., they will even grab an image of the dustjacket if available. If a book doesn't have a barcode, you will be able to enter the ISBN number and get the same results.
