Brackets added to Scanned Codes - barcode-scanner

When my barcode scanner scans a code, it adds ] to the beggining and [ to the end. How can I change this?

Unfortunately, it's a barcode scanner setup parameter and varies by the particular barcode reader. You will need the documentation / SDK for your barcode scanner. Many barcode scanners can setup the leading/trailing character just by scanning a setup barcode.

Microsoft Azure speech to text behavior in JavaScript SDK in browser application

I have deployed Azure speech to text SDK in JavaScript SDK in browser application. Finding difficulties with the below scenarios.
When trying to start dictation in a text box which already has text in it, it always starts from the end of the text. I cannot start in the beginning or in between of existing text.
If the text box has data and when data is cleared and after I start the dictation, converted text as well the previously deleted text both appear. Dictated text is appended to the previously deleted text.
How do i disable auto punctuation? E.g. If I pause during dictation, the sentence ends with a period automatically. If I say how are you, it results in how are you?.
Expected results:
Based on my cursor placement in the text box, it should start the speech to text from that location.
Deleted text shouldn't re appear.
Want to disable auto punctuation and use dictation words like period, question mark, exclamation mark etc. in dictation.
For question 3, if you enabled dictation previously, you many want to remove it from speech config to prevent interpretation of punctuations.

How to program datawedge on mc67 to advance to next screen after scanning a barcode

I am currently trying to configure datawedge on a Motorola MC67. It works fine when scanning a barcode to an open field in the application that I am using for our WMS software. However if there is no open field, nothing happens when scanning the barcode. Can datawedge be configured to advance to the next screen when there is no open field in which to scan?
it is possible to append characters like tab and enter to the end of a barcode so typically you would use characters like these to advance to the next screen. Please take a look at the 'Basic Format Examples' or 'Basic Format Process Plug-in Configuration' pages of the help file. Note the help file for DW for WM/CE is available from the desktop installation (zip) for DataWedge available from https://www.zebra.com/us/en/support-downloads/software/utilities/datawedge-toolkit.html.

leading characters missing in scanned barcode

I have paired the barcode reader with a data entry device through bluetooth SPP mode. While reading code 128 barcodes, some of the leading characters are missing. For example, if I scan a barcode for 'FXRGYKD', I could only see 'GYKD' in the device. The barcode readers that I have tried with are 'Socket Mobile CHS 7DI' and 'Symbol CS3070'.
Thanks in advance!

How can I create a button (or hotkey) that will automatically connect my bluetooth headset?

I have a bluetooth headset that I would like to be able to quickly switch between connection from my laptop(running windows 8) to my phone. I downloaded autohotkey to help me make a hotkey that would connect to my bluetooth headset, but I was only able to make a hotkey that would open the bluetooth control panel for my specific headset, which is not what I was trying to accomplish. What I am trying to accomplish is a hotkey that would immediately connect my headset when typed.
The code I used in autohotkey, to open the bluetooth control panel(by clicking Ctrl+Alt+B) is:
^!b:: run "C:\Program Files\WIDCOMM\Bluetooth Software\BTWUIExt.exe" /deviceAddr=445ef3aa5294
this code won't work for you as the numbers and letters on the end are a uniqe idendifier for my specific headset. You can find your unique id by opening bluetooth in the control panel and right clicking your headset, selecting properties, clicking the bluetooth tab (remove the dots and colons).
This worked to connect the first bluetooth device in the list (Windows 10)
#SingleInstance,force

^F1::
Run, bthprops.cpl
Sleep, 2000
Send, {tab}{tab}{enter}{tab}{enter}
Sleep, 200
Send,!{Tab}
return
There is very little information to give exact solution. But from given information I can say:
You can automate GUI with AutoHotkey so that script will go to the
place where unique id is located. In fact, AutoHotkey allows any
GUI automation (conventional or non conventional GUI).
If the unique id is there as a text and you can copy it, then it
also can be automated by several ways. If unique id cant be coped
and is as image, then it is slightly complicated and you need to use some OCR
techniques. In that case you need to make screenshot of that region
and use some OCR script getting text out of it. Or with AutoHotkey pass image to OCR software and get text from it.
After you have text, you can manipulate it the way you like. Most powerfull solution
is Regular Expressions which are supported by AutoHotkey.
When unique id is ready to use, you can use it in Run
command this way:
^!b:: run "C:\Program Files\WIDCOMM\Bluetooth Software\BTWUIExt.exe" %MyUnicIDVariable%
Turns out that the code I have works on its own. If I just wait for about 10 seconds after typing out the hotkey, the headphones connect, and the control panel that opened automatically closes. Quite convenient actually as I didn't expect it to connect or to auto-close the window.
Thanks for the effort anyway!
Try to install [Broadcom Bluetooth 4.0 Driver for Windows 8.1 ] LINK=>> 1 !
At least works fine on my HP-EliteBook-8570p with stereo "BlueDio 99B" headset. After switching the headset ON the Windows connect the device automatically, and switch Audio-Stream into new-attached device. Optimal!
PS - Unfortunately it is still the Problem with Windows 8.1 + Skype( MIC-Problem) :( Windows 8 is the first OS, than not support Skype at all! ;)

How HID devices work when programming?

I have a barcode scanner works as HID device. Everytime a barcode scans it goes directly to windows keyboard, for example if I open notepad I can see the barcode typed there.
As far as I know programmatically is it possible to to read HID data from your HID devices.
But what happens if the user is already on a form with a text edit control? The scanned code will go inside the text box.
Can you block incoming text and make a background-only processing?
Can you explain the theory please?
See if your barcode scanner can emulate a serial port and just read the data directly from the the serial port into your app.
That is cleaner and less expensive then a global keyboard hook. When I was looking into this awhile ago I found that most USB barcode scanners can emulate a serial port, it's a cinch to read serial port data in most programming languages. I happened to be doing mine in Java, I posted an example in answer to this question actually.
You can set up your scanner to use USB-HID(POS) setting. Your datasheet of barcode settings for the scanner device should have it. I use this project to test my scanners. http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/18099/A-USB-HID-Component-for-C
Sure, just capture keypresses before they are handled by the control and suppress normal handling of the events. In VB.NET you might override the OnKeyPress method in your form and set KeyPreview to true, for example.
