Scan Code on Office Laptop Without Installing Software
Capture code from restricted office laptops using CamToCode web app and free Scroll Automation at camtocode.com — no admin approval, no extensions, no downloads.
Corporate IT often blocks:
- Chrome extensions
- Desktop apps
- Unknown API endpoints
CamToCode runs in a normal browser at camtocode.com — like visiting any HTTPS website.
Workflow for locked laptops
Option A — Phone scans laptop screen
- Display code on your laptop (VS Code, browser, PDF).
- Open camtocode.com/app on your phone.
- Point camera at screen → capture → get clean code.
Option B — Scroll Automation (best for long files)
- Open camtocode.com/scroll on the laptop.
- Load the same file via file picker (stays local — no upload).
- Auto-scroll sections; phone captures each part with Auto Re-capture.
Scroll Automation uses zero backend calls for display and scroll.
What still needs internet
- Phone OCR uses CamToCode AI on Railway (same as any cloud OCR).
- Scroll page works offline after first load (don't refresh).
Security-friendly summary
- Scroll tool: file read locally in browser only
- Exports: saved to your CamToCode cloud account
- Sign in via Supabase (standard OAuth/email)
Free to evaluate
- camtocode.com/try — 1 free scan, no account
