I tried an app once. Out of 200 books, it found less than 50.
Now I did discover tap to speak on my tablet so it is going faster.
The good news is I have 4 shelves that hadn't been added to. Most of those are pre World War 2.
Now you have me curious as to how many have bar codes.

First of all, let me congratulate you on an excellent thread. I love threads that state from their birth that they are for off-topic thoughts. I feel safe in such threads, as my thoughts naturally seems to wander, especially as other people's comments seem to constantly trigger the most offbeat connections in my mind.
I don't know if you've tried it, but the goodreads app on my iPad seems to have one of the best book code scanners around, but as you say, it doesn't do very well on the old style barcodes. Surely they must have a free app that works with android tablets if you'd care to try it. It might possibly do what your current one can't.
