You can ignore the way it looks and it is not an issue.

Even though it looks funny, the barcode is not changed at all. Google Forms puts a place holder of "Your Answer" in the text box. When you type, it goes away. However Scan to Web is not typing the barcode result, it is setting it in the field. This is why the Your Answer is still visible.

Use a Google Site. This is a web page with links to different Google Forms or any website for that matter.

Take a look at our sample:
https://sites.google.com/view/berrywing

Create a new Google Site.
Copy the "preview" link for each of your different Google Forms.
When you are ready, click the PUBLISH button.
Give your site a simple name; "mygoogleforms" (Do not use "mygoogleforms", this is an example.)
The final address will look like this https://sites.google.com/view/mygoogleforms
Use this site address as the Home Page URL in Scan to Web
You can create a QR barcode for your web site URL at https://berrywing.com/barcode
Then when you start Scan to Web, you'd have the list of forms. Tap on the one you need at the time. When complete, simply tap the home button to get the list of forms again.

This video describes the story of a physical education teacher tracking the running times of students with Scan to Spreadsheet. Using a Google Form, you can do the same thing with Scan to Web as each new row automatically is saved with a date/time stamp.

Microphone is for using the Speak to Web feature. Your device internal or external microphone is only on when you tap the mic button and it is red while in listening mode.

Camera for scanning barcodes.

Hyperlink target destination. If a website requests a new window or tab, Scan to Web will open the web page in Scan to Web or open a new tab in Safari.

Textarea Append / Replace. When your web page uses large text entry boxes called Textarea, When ON, Scan to Web will append the existing contents. Turn OFF replace all the text in the Textarea.

Remove 0 EAN-13: 12 digit UPC-A barcodes are being replaced with EAN-13 barcodes. When a UPC-A barcode is scanned it is automatically converted to an EAN-13 with a leading 0 in the United States. This setting removes that 0 to return a 12 digit barcode result.

Turn on and off different barcode types. To learn more, visit our Blog on Barcode Types.

Using the speech to text of your smart device, you can verbally fill out a website form.

Look for the form labels on your website. Say the label text then the value you want in the text field. After a delay the speak to web will enter the text for you.

For instance

1. Part:
2. "Part wheel"
3. Part:

Yes, Speak to web will try to use the nearest label, the hint or placeholder, and the toottip or title of a text field on your website.

Every device has 2 microphones. As long as one is close to your mouth as you speak the transcription should be accurate. Avoid having both microphones equidistant from your mouth as you speak.

An external headset or fixed microphone will give the best performance.

We’re sorry it Speak to Web did not work for you. Give us feedback on what happened in your example. Please include a link or screenshot of your webform as that will help us too.
