Ready-to-use UI components adapt to your app's workflow, branding, and localization, so you can add scanning without building the screens yourself.
Real-Time Smart Assistance
Live feedback on framing, lighting, and camera angle helps users avoid common mistakes, so captures come out consistent.
Instant, High-Quality Scans
Capture crystal-clear documents with automatic brightness, contrast, cropping, camera noise reduction, and background cleaning. Minimize manual edits and maximize productivity.
On-Device OCR
