Document Scanner
A Capacitor plugin for scanning documents on Android and iOS, enabling apps to capture notes, receipts, and other rectangular items.
What is Document Scanner?
Capacitor Document Scanner is a plugin that adds native document scanning functionality to Capacitor-based mobile applications. It enables apps to use the device camera to detect and capture rectangular documents like receipts, notes, and business cards, returning the scanned images for further processing. The plugin solves the need for integrating reliable, platform-specific document scanning without building custom native implementations.
Mobile developers using Capacitor or Ionic to build hybrid Android and iOS apps that require document scanning features, such as for digitization, note-taking, or expense tracking applications.
Developers choose this plugin because it provides a consistent, easy-to-use JavaScript API for document scanning across both major mobile platforms, eliminating the need to write separate native code. Its focus on rectangular document detection and customizable cropping options offers a tailored solution compared to generic camera plugins.
