The barcode scanner app I use has a “Continuous Scan” mode where it will save the barcodes immediately and allow you to continue scanning - you could look for a barcode app on with this feature for whatever device you’re using to scan
And you didn’t mention the app name. What’s the point? :-D I’m interested too.

GitHub (has screenshots of the app and a list of supported barcode types): https://github.com/wewewe718/QrAndBarcodeScanner
Great.
I use BinaryEye for some time and I just realized it has a “Scan continuously” option.
A barcode scanner?
Yes. Need to quickly scan book barcodes and generate list of books
Would you prefer to use a phone or a handheld scanner and a PC? What kind of phone or PC?
Buy a barcode scanner. They are only as fast as you can scan things unless you want to build a machine that you put stacks of books into and it scans them for you…but you’d still need a barcode scanner.
Honestly, just pick up any USB barcode scanner, open a spreadsheet up in Excel or Google Sheets, and go to town. It will go pretty quickly.
BookWyrm has a barcode scanner on its UI, which redirects you into the scanned book title (if it’s registered in the “databases” BookWyrm pulls from)
