Method for having a barcode scanner as a keyboard in iOS?

I realize there are plenty of barcode scanning apps and bluetooth scanners, but I am wondering if the following exists for iOS. Let's say I'm completing a plain ol' form on a website. Normally when I tap on an input the keyboard will appear like this:

However, needing a barcode scanner, I thought it would be useful if you could tap the "change keyboard" button and have "Scanner" be one of the options listed along with English (US), Emoji, etc. This would pull up an interface something like the following:

Has anyone seen anything like this or know if it's possible create this functionality? Or is there a better implementation? Basically, I don't want another piece of hardware, and I want this scanner to be available to any app (such as a browser).
