“Microsoft Tag” for Android, iOS and Windows Mobile is a versatile code-scanning app that can read a wide variety of standards – including regular QR (Quick Response) Codes, NFC (near-field communication) touchpoints and Microsoft’s proprietary “Tag” barcode standard.
Compatible with a wide variety of camera-enabled smartphones and tablets, the code reading app can be used to decode various types of data – including links to webpages, contact information, address information and more.
For owners of Windows Mobile-driven gadgets who regularly install pertinent OS updates, “Microsoft Tag” is already integrated with the new “Bing App” – accessible via the app’s “Vision Search” function.
Note: Mobile internet carrier rates may apply for code scanning for 3G/4G subscribers.
