flutter pub get

Usage

import 'package:itc_scanner/itc_scanner.dart';
import 'dart:typed_data';

final scanner = ItcScanner();

// Extract document data from image bytes
Future<void> scanDocument(Uint8List imageBytes) async {
  try {
    final result = await scanner.extractDocument(imageBytes);

    if (result?['success'] == true) {
      final fields = result!['fields'] as List<dynamic>;

      for (var field in fields) {
        print('${field['label']}: ${field['value']}');
      }
    }
  } catch (e) {
    print('Error: $e');
  }
}

Example with Image Picker

import 'package:image_picker/image_picker.dart';

final picker = ImagePicker();

// Pick from camera with optimized settings
final image = await picker.pickImage(
  source: ImageSource.camera,
  maxWidth: 1024,
  maxHeight: 1024,
  imageQuality: 90,
);

if (image != null) {
  final bytes = await File(image.path).readAsBytes();
  await scanDocument(bytes);
}

// Pick from gallery with same optimization
final galleryImage = await picker.pickImage(
  source: ImageSource.gallery,
  maxWidth: 1024,
  maxHeight: 1024,
  imageQuality: 90,
);

Complete Example

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:image_picker/image_picker.dart';
import 'package:itc_scanner/itc_scanner.dart';
import 'dart:typed_data';
import 'dart:io';

class DocumentScannerWidget extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _DocumentScannerWidgetState createState() => _DocumentScannerWidgetState();
}

class _DocumentScannerWidgetState extends State<DocumentScannerWidget> {
  final _scanner = ItcScanner();
  final _picker = ImagePicker();

      source: ImageSource.camera,
      maxWidth: 1024,
      maxHeight: 1024,
      imageQuality: 90,
    );

    if (image != null) {
      await _processImage(File(image.path));
    }
  }

  Future<void> _processImage(File imageFile) async {
    setState(() => _isLoading = true);

    try {

    } catch (e) {
      print('Error: $e');
    } finally {
      setState(() => _isLoading = false);
    }
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Column(
      children: [
        ElevatedButton(
          onPressed: _isLoading ? null : _scanFromCamera,
          child: Text(_isLoading ? 'Processing...' : 'Scan Document'),
        ),
        if (_result != null) ...[
          Text('Fields found: ${(_result!['fields'] as List).length}'),
          // Display your results here
        ],
      ],

Requirements

• Android: API 24+
• iOS: 15.5+
• Flutter: 3.3.0+

Field Types

• TEXT: General text (Make, Model, Color)
• ID_NUMBER: Document identifiers
• DATE: Date fields
• NUMBER: Numeric values

Tips

• Use good lighting when capturing documents
• Keep document flat and properly aligned
• Optimize image size: Use maxWidth: 1024, maxHeight: 1024, imageQuality: 90 for better performance
• Recommended image size: 1024x1024 or higher (but not too large)
• Smaller images = faster processing and better app performance
