Bulk Barcode scanning on the mobile

I am needing to scan a pallet full of barcodes into an inventory system .. does anyone else have experience with doing this using the mobile app?  So far, I can only figure out a 3-tap minimum solutio...

I believe that the last pipelines demo call I attended with QuickBase staff they demonstrated an amazing method of using an inexpensive barcode scanner handle attached to an iPhone / Android phone and they were able to do multiple scans going into a big Text field. Then the user would hit enter and I think the demo of the pipeline was to iterate over those records and create individual records. 

I will bet that was recorded and maybe someone here remembers who did that pipelines demo.   If you can get hold them them they could have some ideas for you.  If I recall correctly they might've needed to have a bit of crazy code to do that parsing but somebody has already thought this through.

The organizer of that Zoom call a couple of weeks ago  was was Matthew Birsch.  So I would guess his email address is mbirsch@quickbase.com.  It was also probably recorded.
