Scan Barcode Using Google Search App in Android

Damien 28th Apr 2013 Android 2 Comments

Open the Google Search app in Android and tap the “Mic” icon.

Next, tap the Menu button and select “Search with camera”.

Take an image of the barcode/qr code and it will take you to the URL embedded in the barcode/qr code.

I just tired to do this with a phone that has gingerbread 2.3 and it doesn’t seem to work. If I missed a setting to enable this I would appreciate someone letting me know how to do so. I would love to have this function!

  It seems that Google removed this feature in the recent update. :(
