SDK Feature Overview | Flutter Document Scanner

The Scanbot SDK offers a number of features, most of which are available both as a Ready-To-Use UI (RTU UI) solution and as a classic component:

  • RTU UI is easy to use (sometimes involving little more than adding a few lines of code), but has limited customization options.
  • RTU UI v2 is our brand new implementation of the RTU UI components, written from scratch. It features a new visual style and much more customizable UI and behavior. So far, RTU UI v2 is only available for the Barcode Scanner, but converting the rest of the components is on our roadmap and updates will be rolled out over time.
  • Classic components are usually somewhat harder to integrate. However, they provide maximum levels of customization. This allows seamlessly blending in with the rest of your application, supporting its design code and UX.
