  • The following new methods are available in DataCaptureContext:
    • setMode: Sets a mode to be the active mode in the context.
    • removeCurrentMode: Removes the currently active mode in the context.
    • static sharedInstance: Returns a singleton instance of DataCaptureContext. This instance is unusable until properly configured by calling initialize() on it.

    • initialize(string licenseKey, string? frameworkName, string? frameworkVersion, string? deviceName, string? externalId, DataCaptureContextSettings settings): Reinitializes the context by configuring it with new settings.
  • See Deprecations, below, for methods deprecated in DataCaptureContext.

7.5.0​

Released: August 12, 2025

New Features​

Barcode​

  • SparkScan now supports Smart Scan Selection. Scanning a single barcode is often difficult in environments where multiple barcodes are placed closely together, like on a densely packed warehouse shelf or on a package with various labels. This can lead to scanning the wrong item, causing errors and slowing down operations. Users might have to manually switch to a special, more precise scanning mode (Target Mode), which is inefficient. Smart Scan Selection solves this problem by automatically detecting when a user is trying to scan in a "dense barcode" environment. The interface then intelligently adapts, providing an aimer to help the user precisely select the desired barcode without needing to manually change any settings. This creates a seamless and more intuitive scanning experience.
  • Barcode AR now supports customizable notifications.
  • Tappable area for BarcodeArStatusIconAnnotation is now at least 48px.
  • Added ARIA labels to DataCaptureView controls.
  • Improved support for non-standard GS1 AI codes.

  • Fixed an issue where BarcodeArStatusIconAnnotation.icon could cause an error if the icon was not ready.
  • Fixed a bug where continuous scanning in SparkScan was stopped when changing device orientation.
  • Fixed an issue where BarcodeArStatusIconAnnotation.backgroundColor setter and getter were not working as expected.

ID​

  • Fixed bug in AAMVABarcodeVerifier that triggered error callbacks for each verification after updating from some older SDK version.

7.1.0​

Released: February 21, 2025

New Features​

Barcode​

  • MatrixScan AR in now available, offering prebuilt views designed to quickly build custom workflows with augmented reality for your existing app. By highlighting barcodes and displaying additional information or user interaction elements over them, any process can be enhanced with state-of-the-art augmented reality overlays.
  • Introducing the Smart Duplicate Filter: unlike traditional time-based filters, this intelligent solution prevents re-scanning the same barcode unless intended, eliminating delays and improving accuracy. In user testing, it boosted task completion speeds by 10% and reduced unintentional barcode scans by 5% in workflows requiring intentional duplicate scans. Enable this new behavior by setting the existing codeDuplicateFilter property to the special value -2 — now the default for both Barcode Capture and SparkScan. See the documentation for details.
  • User Facing Camera in SparkScan: It is now possible to switch to the user-facing camera for scanning. This is useful in specific use-cases where the rear camera is not accessible or barcodes are hard to reach otherwise. See:
    • SparkScanView.cameraSwitchButtonVisible

ID​

  • Launched DataConsistency Verification, which identifies suspicious documents by verifying the consistency of data encoded in various parts of the document. This helps detect potential tampering or anomalies.
  • Launched a Rejection API to reject documents based on predefined criteria, streamlining validation processes. Examples include rejecting expired documents or those belonging to underage holders.
  • Enhanced the scanning capabilities for specific document types. When ScannerType::FullDocument is enabled, seamless scanning is now supported even for documents where the Scandit DataCapture SDK offers only Machine Readable Zone (MRZ) scanning.
  • Added support for scanning the Machine Readable Zone of non-standard Indian passports, where an MRZ line consists of 42 characters instead of 44.
  • Added support for scanning the Machine Readable Zone of the Chinese Mainland Travel Permit issued for non-Chinese citizens being residents of Hong Kong or Macau.
  • Unified the value of the sex field from VIZ and MRZ results so that it is always one of the values female, male or unspecified.
  • Added UsRealIdStatus.

Performance Improvements​

Barcode​

  • We’ve increased the scan rate of 10% on our datasets of QR codes with high perspective distortion (so scanned at high angles). This is particularly important for cases such as receiving boxes or scanning shelf labels.

ID​

  • Scandit ID Scanning now uses an improved AI model to detect forged barcodes on US documents, which significantly improves accuracy.

Behavioral Changes​

  • After further improving the scanning speed on color-inverted QR and MicroQR codes, these variations can now be scanned without having to set any specific setting (as opposed to before), offering a better experience to developers.

Bug Fixes​

Barcode​

  • If using Safari, the browser would become stuck while opening IndexedDB.

ID​

  • Fixed an issue where it was not possible to scan the Visual Inspection Zone of passports if a license included the Visual Inspection Zone flag, but no Machine Readable Zone flag.

  • Fixed an issue where the personal identification number was not correctly anonymized on certain passports.
  • When scanning German Passport or ID Card MRZs the nationality was returned as D instead of the three-letter ISO (3166 standard) code DEU.

Deprecations​

Core​

  • The following methods of DataCaptureContext have been removed:
    • addMode: Replaced by setMode as only one mode can be active at a time.
    • removeAllModes: Replaced by removeCurrentMode as only one mode can be active at a time.

7.0.0​

Released: November 29, 2024

New Features​

Scandit's Smart Data Capture SDK v7.0 addresses the industry's toughest scanning challenges with innovative solutions at every layer. Our enhanced scanning engine is context-aware, understanding both the environment and user needs. This results in smoother integrations, a richer user experience, and improved scanning performance without compromising flexibility.

Version 7.0 also offers increased versatility by supporting multiple input formats including text and barcodes.

SparkScan, our flagship barcode scanning product, embodies the full potential of v7.0 with its versatile user interface coupled with a robust, out-of-the-box scanning engine. SparkScan's success is a testament to our commitment to delivering seamless, high-performance camera-based scanning solutions.

Barcode​

  • SparkScan introduces a completely redesigned user interface, enhancing ergonomics with a simplified API and in-demand customization options. These updates make SparkScan even more versatile, seamlessly integrating with various use cases and blending smoothly into any existing workflow and UI. See the migration guide for more details.

Core​

  • Added the following API for fetching all Open Source Software (OSS) license text and attributions for all OSS used by the Scandit SDK.
    • DataCaptureContext.openSourceSoftwareLicenseInfo()

ID​

We’ve completely redesigned the ID Capture API to streamline document capture and validation. The latest version introduces enhanced configuration options and improved result structures for an intuitive integration experience. These include:

  • Easily configure which documents you capture using IdCaptureSettings.acceptedDocuments and IdCaptureSettings.rejectedDocuments. Choose entire document classes or refine selections by specific countries for precise control.
  • Use IdCaptureSettings.scannerType to specify which document sections are relevant for your capture process.
  • With just two callbacks — IdCaptureListener.onIdCaptured for success and IdCaptureListener.onIdRejected for rejection — it's straightforward to understand outcomes and define next steps, making the API simpler and more intuitive.
  • Access key aggregated data at the top level of CapturedId or retrieve details from specific document parts, such as CapturedId.visualInspectionZone, CapturedId.machineReadableZone, and CapturedId.barcode.
  • Retrieve document images, including the complete frame, through CapturedId.images.

Performance Improvements​

  • Improved tracking of 1D barcodes that are horizontally aligned.
  • MatrixScan Count’s tracking robustness is improved with quick recovery of tracking failures.
