Introduction | .NET MAUI Document Scanner
The Scanbot SDK for .NET MAUI brings document and barcode scanning features to your mobile Android and iOS apps. It contains various modules that are part of different license packages. For more details visit our website.
Our ScanbotSDK.NET NuGet package contains .NET bindings
of the native Scanbot SDKs for Android and iOS. It supports most of the features that are provided by the native SDKs.
The package ScanbotSDK.MAUI is based
on ScanbotSDK.NET and contains wrappers for use with MAUI.
It provides ready-to-use UI screen components for several scanning use cases.
Package and Pricing Information
The Scanbot SDK consists of three products:
- Barcode Scanner SDK: Provides access to all barcode and QR code scanning functionalities.
- Document Scanner SDK: Includes document scanning with user guidance, automatic capture, cropping UI, document recognition from still images, image filters and PDF/TIFF creation.
- Data Capture Modules: A comprehensive bundle that includes the MRZ Scanner SDK, OCR SDK, Check Scanner SDK, VIN Scanner SDK and additional scanning modules.
All products are available on a fixed price model. In other words, there is a fixed annual fee based on the specific product and the number of applications or domains into which the SDK is integrated. The price remains the same regardless of the number of scans or users. Please contact us for a personalized quote.
If you are only interested in barcode scanning, we recommend the use of our pure Barcode Scanner SDK for .NET MAUI.

No Internet Connection Required
The Scanbot SDK works completely offline. It does not even contain any networking code. This can easily be verified by routing all networking traffic coming from the app through a proxy. All data generated by the Scanbot Barcode Scanner SDK is only stored on the end user's device and in absolutely no case ever transferred to a server / cloud service controlled by us. You as the customer will need to take care of uploading the scans / data to your backend, if desired.
Simulators / Emulators
While it is possible to test your app with the Scanbot SDK on simulators/emulators, we strongly recommend using real Android/iOS devices. Depending on the emulated camera you may not be able to test/evaluate the full functionality of the Scanbot SDK.
Example Apps
