What is MobileTagger?

MobileTagger is an application to help you create QR Codes.

 

So what's a QR Code?

QR Codes are 2-dimensional barcodes that can be scanned with several apps for current smart phones. Once scanned, the smart phone app will decode the information stored in the QR Code, and prompt the user to take some additional action.

For example, if the information stored in the QR Code is a URL to a website, the smart phone will prompt the user to open their browser to the decoded URL. If the information is an SMS phone number, the smart phone's Texting application will open with the phone number already filled in.

MobileTagger also includes a "Batch Mode" that allows you to create a lot of QR Codes at once. The QR Codes created in Batch Mode can be built on a "base URL" that is set in the application preferences. When the batch is run, the data from the input file is added to the base URL to create a final URL.
