I have inventory maintenance website up and running. currently the back end users are manually typing the item id on the system and using to search and do their work. I would like to automate the typing to scanning qr codes. We are trying to implement users to use their mobile phone camera to act as a scanner.

Thus the user set focus on the text-box and uses his mobile phone to scan the code and the value has to be automatically placed on the text box.

The apps in the market do not transfer data into a pc or web form directly. We are trying to implement an open source web scanner rather then buying an expensive product or app. Can you suggest one or must we create our own app? If so, where can I start from?
