# Example app for the Scanbot Xamarin.Forms Document Scanner SDK and Data Capture Modules

This example app shows how to integrate the [Scanbot Document Scanner SDK](https://scanbot.io/data-capture-software/?utm_source=github.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=dev_sites) and [Scanbot Data Capture Modules](https://scanbot.io/developer/xamarin-data-capture/) for Xamarin.Forms.

## What is the Scanbot SDK?

The Scanbot SDK is a set of high-level APIs that lets you integrate document scanning and data extraction functionalities into your mobile apps and websites. It runs on all common mobile devices and operates entirely offline on the user's device. No data is transmitted to our or third-party servers.

With our Ready-To-Use UI (RTU UI) components, you can integrate the Scanbot SDK into your app in less than an hour.

💡 For more details about the Scanbot Document Scanner SDK and Data Capture Modules, please check out our [documentation.](https://docs.scanbot.io/document-scanner-sdk/xamarin/introduction/?utm_source=github.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=dev_sites)

## Requirements

## Overview of the Scanbot SDK

### Document Scanner SDK

The Scanbot Xamarin.Forms Document Scanner SDK offers the following features:

* **User guidance**: Ease of use is crucial for large user bases. Our on-screen user guidance helps even non-tech-savvy users create perfect scans, ensuring reliable document scanning at all times.

* **Automatic capture**: The SDK automatically captures the document when the device is optimally positioned over the document. This reduces the risk of blurry or incomplete document scans compared to manually-triggered capture.

* **Automatic cropping**: Our document scanning SDK automatically straightens and crops scanned documents, ensuring high-quality document scan results.

* **Custom filters:** Every document scanning use case has specific image requirements. With the SDK’s custom image filters, you can turn the generated final images into optimal input for your backend systems. They include grayscale, several binarization options, and more.

* **Document Quality Analyzer:** This feature automatically rates the quality of the scanned pages from “very poor” to “excellent.” If the quality is below a specified threshold, the SDK prompts the user to rescan.

* **Export formats:** The Scanbot Document Scanner SDK supports several output formats for exporting digitized documents (JPG, PDF, TIFF, and PNG). This ensures your downstream solutions receive the best format to store, print, or share the digitized document – or to process it further.

### Data Capture Modules

The Scanbot SDK Data Capture Modules allow you to extract data from a wide range of structured documents and to integrate OCR text recognition capabilities. They include:

#### [MRZ Scanner](https://scanbot.io/data-capture-software/mrz-scanner/?utm_source=github.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=dev_sites)
This module allows quick and accurate data extraction from the machine-readable zones on identity documents. It captures all important MRZ data from IDs and passports and returns it in the form of simple key-value pairs. This is much simpler, faster, and less mistake-prone than manual data entry.

#### [Check Scanner (MICR)](https://scanbot.io/data-capture-software/check-scanner/?utm_source=github.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=dev_sites)
The MICR Scanner offers reliable data extraction from international paper checks, capturing check numbers, routing numbers, and account numbers from MICR codes. This simplifies workflows and reduces errors that frustrate customers and employees.

#### [Text Pattern Scanner](https://scanbot.io/data-capture-software/data-scanner/?utm_source=github.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=dev_sites)
Our Text Pattern Scanner allows quick and accurate extraction of single-line data. It captures information based on customizable patterns tailored to your specific use case. This replaces error-prone manual data entry with automatic capture.

#### [VIN Scanner](https://scanbot.io/data-capture-software/vin-scanner/?utm_source=github.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=dev_sites)
The VIN scanner enables instant capture of vehicle identification numbers (VINs) from trucks or car doors. It uses OCR to convert the image of the VIN code into structured data for backend processing. This module integrates into mobile or web-based fleet management applications, enabling you to replace error-prone manual entry with fast, reliable data extraction.
