Introduction | Web Document Scanner

The Scanbot Web Scanner SDK brings document and barcode scanning features to your mobile website or web app. It contains various modules that are part of different license packages. For more details visit our website.

Our Scanbot Web SDK Module is based on WebAssembly. Under the hood, it is built on the same core technologies as our native mobile SDKs for Android and iOS. This web module provides easy-to-integrate JavaScript and TypeScript APIs as well as components for several scanning use cases.

Package and Pricing Information

The Scanbot Web SDK can be licensed in several packages.

  • Package 0 provides access to the Web Barcode Scanner SDK.
  • Package 1 includes the Web Document Scanner in addition to the Web Barcode Scanner SDK.
  • Package 2 adds OCR, MRZ, VIN, and data scanning capabilities to the Web Document Scanner SDK, giving you access to all features and modules of the Scanbot Web SDK.

It's important to note that the Scanbot SDK is available on a fixed-price model. This means that it comes with an annual fixed fee, which is based on the required package and the number of applications or domains the SDK is integrated into. This fee remains the same regardless of how much scanning is performed. You can request a quote here.
