Scan Intention

Defined under the namespace Scandit.Datacapture.Core

ScanIntention

Added in version 6.24.0

Allows enabling of the Smart algorithm that intelligently identifies and scans the intended barcode without requiring precise aiming, eliminating the need to constantly look at the screen and reducing errors.

Manual

Added in version 6.24.0

No smart algorithms for devices with poorer performance.

Smart

Added in version 6.24.0

On supported devices, it enables the automatic algorithm that intelligently identifies and then scans the barcode that the user intends to capture, reducing errors.

SmartSelection

Added in version 8.1.0

Deprecated since version 8.5: Use the SparkScanSettings.selectionMode property set to SelectionMode.Auto instead. The case will be removed in 9.0. Existing code keeps compiling in 8.x but emits a deprecation warning; legacy JSON containing "scanIntention": "smartSelection" continues to deserialize successfully (the deserializer additionally sets selectionMode = Auto so the previous behavior is preserved).

Identifies candidates for scanning and then scans the barcode that the user indicates, reducing errors.
