How do I tell windows to send text to current window?

I have a barcode reader connected to COM1 port.
When you read a code, the numbers are read in the port.
My user needs these numbers not from a port, but as if they were "typed" from the keyboard.
I wonder if there's a way to acomplish that.
I was thinking on a way to tell windows to send all the info that comes from the port to the current window (it could be Word, Excel, Notepad, or another app).
Or maybe another aproach.

Suggestions are welcome. Thanks
