Introduction
Document Scanner Introduction
The Scanbot Document Scanner offers a comprehensive solution for integrating advanced document scanning capabilities into your applications. Our SDK provides both Ready-to-Use UI (RTU UI) Components, high-level components allowing extensive behavioral and UI customizations, and Classic components, which can be embedded in your custom UI with ease, allowing for complete flexibility. With features like auto-cropping, perspective correction, and high-quality image processing, our document scanner ensures accurate and efficient document digitization, suitable for a wide range of use cases from business to personal applications. Whether you need quick integration or extensive customization, Scanbot SDK has you covered.
Integration
There are two ways to integrate the component into the application:
- Ready to use UI component (more about RTU UI)
- Classic UI component (more about Classic components)
Please be aware that processing really large images may lead to out-of-memory crashes on iOS. Since this limit is highly dynamic and untransparent in iOS, depending on the device, your app's current memory usage, the other running apps, the iOS version, the system configuration and many other unknown variables, we did not add a hard limit for image sizes.
As a general rule of thumb, it is quite safe to assume that processing images of the resolution the camera can shoot will most likely not crash your app. On most modern iOS devices this currently translates to 12 megapixels. But even much larger images may work without crashing as well.
Thus we cannot take responsibility for out-of-memory crashes when dealing with very high-resolution images. It is your responsibility, as an app developer, to properly manage the handling of large images and keep the memory footprint of your app as small as possible.
In case you have any questions on this topic, please reach out to our support team.
Please do not use multiple scanners at the same time. For example, do not combine Document Data Extractor, Health Insurance Scanner, Text Pattern Scanner, etc. at the same time! Each scanner instance requires a lot of memory, GPU, and processor resources. Using multiple scanners will lead to performance issues for the entire application.
