What software is useful to build a data base with this scanner?

Hello Doug...The scanner inputs text into any field from any barcode so it would work with any program. If you tell me what you're trying to accomplish I may be able to be a bit more helpful.This page may help you also... http://www.taltech.com/barcodesoftware/articles/which_barcode_software

Yes, I love this scanner. It detaches from the base to do books, and is very good with pics when attached to the base. High quality.

It actually can. However you need to acquire a Software Development Kit (SDK) compatible with this scanner (there are many out there) and then you can create your own custom applications.

No - if you haven't bought it don't! I bought one several years ago - it worked for about a month. It was glitchy and cumbersome to use. Brother, who makesthe scanner had little/no support.

I haven't tried that with the scanner, but I would assume so. There are also plenty of freeware out there that allows you to combine multiple images into one pdf document, etc

This will scan anything with a barcode though you will need to plug it into a power source (a laptop works fine) It will import to excel (though there is a bit of a learning curve figuring out how to do it)

Hi, I'm using just regular ScanSnap Manager which works perfect for me. It's Free and it can meet all required settings, quick and fast enough for any user. Very simple...

anything sorta works the problem is that the baud rate drops out constantly, which crashes what ever program you are running, plus these are counterfeit scantool scanners so anything scantool will have a conniption.

No, not even close. The best thing you can do for your sanity (and any family members around you) is to go to www.radioreference.com, get a premium membership for $20 and use FreeScan (Free) to program your scanner. If you don't do this I promise you , you will NEVER get that time spent back in your life struggling with manual programming. We're talking $20 to program, and reprogram the scanner an UNLIMITED number of times. Best money EVER spent.

No! Here's a link to Honeywell page that cross-references scanners with supported barcode types. https://www.honeywellaidc.com/Permanent/Symbologies.pdf

The manual programming is difficult and I had to do a couple of weeks worth or internet research and reading the materials that came with the scanner. After some trial and error, I got it programmed and I left a review this past weekend which gives the step by step procedure I used. Check out radio reference to see if your area uses trunked frequencies. If it doesn't, programming the scanner will be easy. The BCD 396XT can get everything except Project 25 Phase II. If your area is EDACS, the steps I used should be a help.

I have used the scanner with Windows 7, 64-bit, without any software difficulty. The interface software installed without a problem, and provided a basic level of functionality. I wish the hardware had matched the utility of the software - my first scanner failed after a few weeks, and its replacement was dead-on-arrival. I'm done with Mustek scanners.

YE but it will be much more difficlut. I grew up with crystal controlled system. This is a very 'smart' scanner with systems, groups, channels etc. Software allows for you do download your state, co8unty, city, copy and paste or whatever with a few key strokes.if you don't have a computer, find a cheapo one, used.I have over 600 channels programmed. Hope this helpsDoug

I'm sorry I don't know enough about computers to answer your question. However we are very satisfied with the scanner.

To Guy J. Clark. Thank you so much for mentioning VueScan! I've tried several other software front-ends with this scanner, and VueScan is definitely the best for this scanner. I also have a Cannon scanner for my usual work, and VueScan is as versatile as the Cannon software. (Using it with Win7)

I do not understand the question, but the (driver) software that includes the scanner works great. I have worked with photographs, text and documents and it has gone well. I use it for the house.
