How to create a Flutter Document Scanner

By using the Docutain Document Scanner SDK, one can add a high-quality scanner into an existing Flutter app.


Why integrate scanning?

The main goal of integrating scanning functionalities is to be able to do the document recognition within the camera frame in real time to make the document scanning process as easy as possible.

More sophisticated scanner apps like Docutain do not stop at this point. Once the document was scanned successfully, OCR text recognition is run. With this, one can get two things:

  1. Searchable PDF files, as they include the recognized text
  2. Intelligent Data Extraction, e.g. invoice or address data

Building a high quality cross-platform document scanner app from scratch takes a lot of time, effort and knowledge in a lot of different specializations.
