Dynamsoft has announced a new SDK for Android app developers that will enable them to build mobile apps with enterprise-level document scanning capabilities. According to the company, it is ideal for capturing and processing mission-critical documents such as contracts, forms, ID cards, driver’s licenses, passports, receipts, and presentations.
The solution features built-in editing, automatic border detection, perspective correction, auto-cropping, noise/artifact removal, and brightness and contrast control. The SDK is used offline in applications so users will be able to make use of it without being connected to a network.
“With the addition of our Android-based SDK to our already-offered iOS one, we now provide comprehensive mobile capture solutions for both prominent mobile platforms,” said Amy Gu, vice president of Dynamsoft. “These SDKs help developers of document management applications unlock the power of mobile capture by leveraging the mobile scanners most people walk around with in their pockets daily.”
