Text Pattern Scanner quick start for Windows Data Capture Modules

Use this quick start to integrate text-pattern extraction from scratch.

Set up your project from scratch

Choose your language and architecture, then run the setup commands. Replace <SCANBOT_SDK_VERSION> with the version you want to install.

Python x64

python -m venv .env
.\.env\Scripts\Activate.ps1
pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
$env:SCANBOT_SDK_VERSION="<SCANBOT_SDK_VERSION>"
pip install "https://github.com/doo/scanbot-sdk-example-linux/releases/download/standalone-sdk%2Fv$env:SCANBOT_SDK_VERSION/scanbotsdk-$env:SCANBOT_SDK_VERSION-py3-none-win_amd64.whl"

Python x86

python -m venv .env
.\.env\Scripts\Activate.ps1
pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
$env:SCANBOT_SDK_VERSION="<SCANBOT_SDK_VERSION>"
pip install "https://github.com/doo/scanbot-sdk-example-linux/releases/download/standalone-sdk%2Fv$env:SCANBOT_SDK_VERSION/scanbotsdk-$env:SCANBOT_SDK_VERSION-py3-none-win32.whl"

C x64

mkdir data-capture-quickstart-c
cd data-capture-quickstart-c

Use the CMake setup from the C quick start with SCANBOTSDK_ARCHITECTURE=x64, then replace main.c with the scanner snippet below.

C x86

mkdir data-capture-quickstart-c
cd data-capture-quickstart-c

Use the CMake setup from the C quick start with SCANBOTSDK_ARCHITECTURE=x86, then replace main.c with the scanner snippet below.

Run your scanner app

Python x64

python main.py C:\path\to\image.jpg

Python x86

python main.py C:\path\to\image.jpg

C x64

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -A x64 -DSCANBOT_SDK_VERSION=<SCANBOT_SDK_VERSION> -DSCANBOTSDK_ARCHITECTURE=x64 ..
cmake --build . --config Release
.\Release\data-capture-quickstart.exe C:\path\to\image.jpg

C x86

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -A Win32 -DSCANBOT_SDK_VERSION=<SCANBOT_SDK_VERSION> -DSCANBOTSDK_ARCHITECTURE=x86 ..
cmake --build . --config Release
