Ready-to-Use UI

Our revamped Ready-To-Use UI Components for iOS and Android Document Scanner SDKs offer a refined and enhanced document scanning experience with built-in review capabilities. This version not only simplifies the integration process but also introduces a comprehensive document management interface. Users can now review scanned documents, rotate, crop, reorder, retake specific pages, and delete one or all pages directly within the scanner. Additionally, the scanning process is enriched with engaging animation feedback and document acknowledgment features, ensuring high-quality scans by allowing users to verify and decide whether to keep or retake the scanned image.

Although the main idea of the RTU UI is to provide simple-to-integrate and simple-to-configure components, its customization capabilities are numerous and should suit most of your needs. To achieve an even higher degree of customization, you can implement a custom UI and business-logic using our Classic UI Components.

Scanning Screen​

The Scanning Screen in the Document Scanner RTU UI v.2.0 is designed to provide a seamless and efficient document capture experience. Here are some key features:

  • Import from gallery: Users can import images directly from their device’s gallery, allowing for the integration of existing photos into the document scanning workflow.
  • Page limit configuration: Developers can set a page limit for the number of pages that can be scanned in a single session, helping to manage document size and user expectations.
  • Capture feedback animation: The Scanning Screen offers configurable feedback animations. Choose between a checkmark animation or the document genie/funnel animation to enhance user interaction and provide visual confirmation of successful captures.
  • User guidance: The scanner overlays dynamic text instructions to guide the user through the scanning process. This guidance adapts to the current state, such as suggesting adjustments if the document is at a bad angle or if the lighting is insufficient. These states are predefined, allowing developers to set custom text for each state.

These features combine to create an intuitive and user-friendly scanning experience, ensuring high-quality document captures every time.

Acknowledge Screen​

The Acknowledge Screen is designed to ensure the quality of captured images. The quality analyzer runs a thorough check on the captured image to determine its suitability. You can set the minimum quality required using the following:

  • No Document
  • Very Poor
  • Poor
  • Reasonable
  • Good
  • Excellent

You can also configure when the Acknowledge Screen should be shown using the following modes:

  • Bad Quality: The screen is shown only if the minimum quality criteria is not met.
  • Always: The screen is shown after every capture, regardless of the image quality.
  • None: The screen is never shown, even if the minimum quality criteria is not met.

Review Screen​

The Review Screen allows users to manage and review their scanned documents before finalizing them. This screen provides a comprehensive set of tools to ensure that all pages are in the correct order and meet the desired quality. If not needed, the Review Screen can also be disabled to speed up the scanning workflow.

  • Rotate: Rotate any page to ensure proper orientation.
  • Crop: Crop pages to remove unwanted borders or adjust the document's frame.
  • Reorder: Change the order of the pages to match the desired sequence.
  • Retake: Scan a particular page again if it doesn't meet quality expectations.
  • Add Page: Add a new page at any position within the multi-page document to include additional content.
  • Delete: Delete one or multiple pages, or clear all pages if necessary.
  • Zoom: Zoom in on any page to inspect details closely.
  • Submit: Once all pages are reviewed and managed, the user can tap the Submit button to complete the document scanning flow.

This screen is highly customizable and ensures that the users have full control over their scanned documents, enabling them to make any necessary adjustments before submission.

Crop Screen​

The Crop Screen is a highly customizable ready-to-use cropping tool for ensuring precise adjustments to document images in a very convenient way, enhancing the overall quality and usability of the scanned documents. It is also quite versatile as it can also be initialized as a standalone ready-to-use cropping screen.

Common use cases​

Single-Page Scanning without review​

Allows users to scan a single page. Upon document detection, the SDK's Automatic Scanning function is initiated. While our example app will show a post-scan preview, you can configure your app to auto-save the scan and go to your next screen.

DocumentFlowConfiguration

Multi-Page Scanning with review​

Designed for documents with multiple pages. This mode allows users to scan and optimize multiple pages and export them as a single file. Our example app's "confirm" action leads to a preview screen, but you can adapt the workflow as needed.

Single-Page Scanning with Finder Overlay​

Introduces an overlay (a frame on top of the live view) for users. The finder can be made to fit standard document sizes like A4 or US Letter. You can also configure the expected aspect ratio yourself. For example, you can define an aspect ratio of 3:2, 1:1, etc. as a requirement for auto-scanning and auto-cropping. You can also configure the finder to use a full stroke or a cornered style. Other than the overlay, the functionality is the same as Single-Page Scanning mode.

Automatic Filtering​

The new RTU UI v.2.0 also allows users to set a default filter to be applied to the document pages. If set, the filter is applied automatically.

Automatic Filtering
// Create the default configuration object.
let configuration = SBSDKUI2DocumentScanningFlow()

// Set any `SBSDKParametricFilter` type of default filter.
configuration.outputSettings.defaultFilter = SBSDKScanbotBinarizationFilter()

Swift UI Support​

The RTU UI v.2.0 is also available natively for SwiftUI using SBSDKUI2DocumentScannerView. The following example demonstrates how to integrate the RTU UI v.2.0 into a SwiftUI view.
