The Handheld Simulator is an extension for Google Chrome that simulates a scanner and makes it possible to type a number in a given input field in order to scan it and store the value. It is an extension of a previous version, Handheld Scanner, where the user had to open a window and select the input field to scan a number.

In the latest version, you can do it with just one click on the extension icon or by clicking on the button. Also, you can create a new shortcut by simply opening chrome://extensions/shortcuts and choosing Handheld Simulator.
