Hi, The Eli InVision app, does not scan barcodes, you purchase labels, and record your own message. I like the pen friend, because it has smaller labels if I am going to record them which works well for many spices. Peggy Peggy Sent from my IPhone. > On Jul 31, 2017, at 11:05 PM, R Van Lant

Hi. I’m guessing that will not work, since the only purpose for the lightning port on the keyboard is to charge it. Yes, when you plug it into a Mac for the first time, it uses the USB cable to pair it via Bluetooth so you don’t have to do it manually, but other than that it serves no purpose.
