Why Scan Barcodes in the Browser?
Dedicated barcode scanner apps request broad permissions — camera, storage, contacts, location — and many send scanned data to analytics servers. If you are scanning inventory barcodes, product codes, or shipping labels, you may not want that data leaving your device.
A browser-based barcode scanner solves this. MiOffice decodes barcodes using JavaScript running locally in your browser tab. The camera feed stays on your device, decoded results are displayed locally, and everything is discarded when you close the tab. No app to install, no account to create, no data transmitted.

Privacy-First Barcode Scanning
When you scan product barcodes with a typical app, the decoded numbers are often sent to analytics servers, building a profile of the products you interact with. This data can be used for targeted advertising or sold to data brokers.
MiOffice takes a different approach. All barcode decoding happens client-side in your browser using JavaScript. No camera frames or decoded data are ever transmitted. There is no scan history stored on any server. For inventory management, warehouse scanning, or personal product lookups, your data stays entirely on your device.
