Start the scanning process in your app.
Hold the device over the piece of information.
The data will be captured and checked in the blink of an eye.
Also included in the new features is the ability to validate the scanned information immediately through your internal databases and algorithms. This eliminates the need to manually reconcile data and significantly accelerates the work process by the real-time transfer of all relevant data.
Capture just the relevant single-line information, rather than the entire document.
Limit the scan to numbers, custom patterns, or your own code. This makes scanning the right piece of information fast and reliable.
As a customer of the Scanbot SDK, you will continuously receive support from our developers, no matter if it's about discussing your integration, or about direct feedback.
Clarity and transparency are vital to us. Therefore, Scanbot offers, in contrast to many other providers, a flat-rate pricing model. The price depends solely on the number of operating systems and the selected package (package 0, I, II, III). There are no fees for additional users, scans, or setup fees, so that the costs can be determined 100% in advance.
