Document Scanner SDK for Xamarin Frequently Asked Questions
Pixelnetica™ Document Scanning SDK (DSSDK) for Xamarin.Forms, Xamarin.Android, and Xamarin.iOS enhances your mobile apps by providing sophisticated document capture features.
Integrate seamlessly to deliver outstanding image quality, improve OCR accuracy, and simplify mobile document management.
Microsoft officially ended support for Xamarin.Forms and other Xamarin SDKs as of May 1, 2024. While existing Xamarin apps will continue to run, they no longer receive official updates, including security patches and technical support.
“Xamarin.Forms has evolved into .NET Multi-platform App UI (MAUI) and existing Xamarin.Forms projects should be migrated to .NET MAUI. … For more information about upgrading Xamarin projects to .NET, see the Upgrade from Xamarin to .NET & .NET MAUI documentation.”
To maintain the sustainability of your applications, we highly recommend migrating to .NET MAUI, Microsoft’s next-generation platform for mobile apps. Pixelnetica™ provides a comprehensive DSSDK solution optimized for .NET MAUI, ensuring ongoing updates, features, and full compatibility with future .NET developments.
DSSDK significantly enhances document scanning in your Xamarin app through:
- Real-Time Intelligent Guidance: Automatically assists users in achieving optimal scans by helping avoid common errors such as poor framing, improper lighting, and shaky captures.
- Automatic Document Detection: Instantly detects document boundaries and corrects perspective, improving scanning precision.
- Advanced Image Enhancement: Applies sophisticated processing techniques for maximum readability, optimal OCR accuracy, and reduced file sizes for efficient storage.
DSSDK simplifies integration into Xamarin projects with thorough documentation, comprehensive API details, and sample applications provided for Xamarin.Forms, Xamarin.Android and Xamarin.iOS . Developers can start immediately with our readily accessible GitHub resources:
