MX Keyboard vs Blip

MX Keyboard allows users to scan barcodes into any iOS or web application using MX Series Mobile Terminals or MX-100 Barcode Reader.

Blip adds a barcode and QR scanner directly to your iPhone and iPad keyboard workflow. Tap Scan from the Blip keyboard and scan a barcode or QR code. Blip opens your selected browser target and can insert the scan automatically, or you can tap Insert Last Scan. Safari requires returning to your original tab manually. Features: - Custom iOS keyboard with a clean Scan button. - Barcode and QR scanning powered by the device camera. - Automatic return targets for Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Brave, and custom URL schemes; manual Safari fallback. - Optional automatic insertion or an explicit Insert Last Scan tap. - English and German keyboard layouts. - Flexible keyboard configuration: letters, numbers and symbols, big-number pad, or scan-only. - Configurable scan suffix: none, tab, enter, or space. - Optional flashlight, zoom, centered scan area, and scan sound. - Local scan history with retention controls. - Company profiles for sharing consistent settings across a team. - Privacy-first design: local history, no analytics SDK, no ads, no cloud sync, and no tracking. Blip is built for teams that need fast code entry in browser-based tools, inventory systems, forms, and internal workflows.
