8.1.0-beta.1​

Released: December 4, 2025

New Features​

Barcode​

  • Smart Scan Selection is now available in Barcode Capture. 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. 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.
  • Added SymbologySettings.ocrFallbackRegex, allowing you to filter or constrain results returned from OCR fallback.
  • Extended Aztec codes reader to support scanning mirrored codes.
  • Added support for square DataMatrix codes with one-sided damage or occlusion. This feature is only enabled in Barcode Capture and SparkScan.
  • 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.
  • Added ScanditIconType.Delete and ScanditIconType.Slash which can be used in BarcodeArStatusIconAnnotationAnchor.

Id​

  • Added NationalityISO property that maps results from Nationality field to country ISO code
  • Added RejectionDiagnosticJSON property to CapturedId to report debug info during Timeout rejections
  • Added rejectionTimeoutSeconds to IdCaptureSettings allowing customers to use timeout other than default (6s). Minimum timeout is 1s.
  • Added support for new California DL, new South Carolina DL, Arizona Medical Marijuana Card, Kuwait Civil card, and new Texas DL

Core​

  • Added Electronic Product Code (EPC) parser and GS1_DIGITAL_LINK parsers

Performance Improvements​

  • Improved suppression of incorrect Codabar recognitions when using the “strict" symbology extension

Id​

  • Improved success rate when scanning using the ImageFrameSource or the SingleImageUploader as frame source

Smart Label Capture​

  • Improved the OCR model for Label Capture
  • The Receipt Scanning API (in beta) has been simplified:

Behavioral Changes​

Barcode​

Smart Label Capture​

  • Validation Flow: Manually input values for barcodes will go through a stricter validation. Some values may no longer be accepted if they do not match the symbology specs for the symbology’s definition

Bug Fixes​

Barcode​

  • Fixed a rare crash in the EAN/UPC reader
  • Fixed an issue that caused continuous scanning to stop working when rotating the device

Core​

  • Fixed a small memory leak that affected fresh install runs only
  • Overcome orientation change limitation in iOS PWAs when display mode is fullscreen or standalone

8.0.0​

Released: November 4, 2025

New Features​

Scandit's SDK 8.0 marks the evolution of data capture from a high-performing scanning tool into an intelligent AI-powered workflow enabler. As frontline operations face mounting pressures with more data points to capture, increasingly complex workflows to navigate, and tighter resource constraints, SDK 8.0 delivers a set of innovations that:

  • Adapt its scanning settings and UI to context by analyzing the scanning environment and user intent;
  • Automate the capture of any data format, barcode clustering, task handling or camera settings;
  • Accelerate critical use cases to maximize ROI through intuitive, streamlined scanning workflows, using interactive AR-guidance, adaptive UI and out-of-the-box custom-branded passenger experiences.

With SDK 8.0 businesses can transform data capture from a basic function to a strategic advantage. It enables intelligent scanning that:

  • Understands not just what is being scanned, but also what you want to scan and why you’re scanning it
  • Adapts accordingly by adjusting scanning settings and/or UI, understanding what comes next and how to guide users seamlessly through sophisticated tasks to ensure the highest level of productivity.

Core​

  • The Camera API has been completely redesigned for this release. See the API reference for complete details.
  • The minimum Chrome version supported is now 85+.
  • The DataCaptureContext.create, createWithOptions and configure methods have been removed in favor of DataCaptureContext.forLicenseKey.

Barcode​

  • Smart Scan Selection is now available in SparkScan for the Web SDK.
  • Adapted SparkScanView to now be usable as a web component. Also added a SparkScanReactSample to demonstrate this usage.
  • The following have been added to MatrixScan AR:
    • BarcodeArView.getHighlightForBarcode
    • BarcodeAirView.getAnnotationForBarcode

Smart Label Capture​

  • We’re introducing an enhancement that makes Smart Label Capture more robust and scalable by complementing its on-device model with a larger, more capable model. When the on-device model can’t capture certain labels, the SDK automatically escalates to this enhancement to handle complex or unforeseen cases with high accuracy and reliability. This capability is currently available in beta. If you’re interested in trying it, please contact Scandit Support. For configuration details, see labelDefinition.adaptiveRecognitionEngine.

ID​

  • Added ElementsToRetain to MobileDocumentScanner: The set of data elements that the application intends to retain from scanned mobile documents. This information is used to set the IntentToRetain flag in ISO 18013-5 mdoc requests, which is required for legal compliance with data protection standards. An empty set indicates no elements will be retained, and IntentToRetain will be set to false for all fields.
  • ID Capture now supports full-frame anonymization.
  • The result of decodeMobileDriverLicenseViz, which is currently returned as part of the VizResult within CapturedId, will now be provided through a new field named mobileDocumentOcr.
  • Added CapturedId::isCitizenPassport, which indicates whether the passport was issued to a citizen of the issuing country. Returns false for travel documents such as refugee, stateless, or alien passports, and for any passports issued by organizations rather than states.
  • The following Chinese travel permits now extract VIZ + MIZ data during double-sided scanning flows:
    • CT - Taiwan Residents Mainland Travel Permit
    • W - Mainland Residents Exit-Entry Permit to and from Hong Kong and Macao
    • CD - Mainland Residents Entry-Exit Permit to and from Taiwan

      • Renamed property: paymentSubtotal → paymentPreTaxTotal - Total balance before taxes are applied.
    • ReceiptScanningLineItem:
      • Removed property: category.
      • Renamed properties: price → unitPrice (Price for a single unit of the item), total → totalPrice (Total price for a specific product, quantity × unitPrice).

    • Australian mobile driver licenses (mDL) are now treated as normal documents, with no separate mode.
