⚡ Overview & Enterprise Pillars

Universal Scanner Pro (scannerpro) is the ultimate enterprise-grade, high-throughput Flutter scanning SDK. Designed as an open-source alternative to commercial scanning SDKs (like Scandit, Microblink, or Kofax), it provides real-time vision AI, offline OCR, document edge scanning, multi-format barcode parsing, automatic image enhancement, multi-page PDF compilation, AES-256 encrypted storage, cloud sync queues, and automated REST API lookups.

🌟 Top 5 Priority Core Capabilities

1. 🔤 Offline OCR & Vision AI Text Recognition

Full Layout Analysis: Hierarchical extraction (OcrTextResult → TextBlock → TextLine → TextElement) with bounding boxes, character/word counts, confidence scores, and language tags.
Specialized Document Parsers: Automated payload extraction for Invoices, Receipts, Business Cards, Passports (MRZ ICAO 9303), Bank Cheques (MICR), Income Tax PAN Cards, Indian Aadhaar Cards, Driving Licenses, and Vehicle VINs.
Zero Cloud Latency: 100% offline text extraction powered by Google ML Kit Commons.

import 'package:scannerpro/scannerpro.dart';

// High-level 1-line OCR scanning
final ScanResult result = await ScannerPro.scanOcr(imageFileOrBytes);

print('Extracted Text: ${result.rawValue}');
if (result.ocrTextResult != null) {
  for (final block in result.ocrTextResult!.blocks) {
    print('Block (${block.boundingBox}): ${block.text}');
  }
}

2. 📄 Document Edge Scanning & Perspective Transform

Quadrilateral Edge Detection: Real-time corner detection (DocumentCorners) with bounding boxes, quad area, convexity verification (isConvex), aspect ratio, and scale transformation.
Homography Perspective Rectification: Computes 4x4 homography transformation matrices (computePerspectiveTransform) to straighten tilted or angled documents into flat rectangular scans.
Auto-Crop Bounds: Computes tight crop bounding boxes to isolate documents from busy table backgrounds.

import 'package:scannerpro/scannerpro.dart';

// Detect document quad bounds
final Size imageSize = Size(1920, 1080);
final DocumentCorners corners = DocumentScannerService.detectDocumentEdges(imageSize);

if (corners.isValidQuad) {
  final Matrix4 transformMatrix = DocumentScannerService.computePerspectiveTransform(corners, imageSize);
  print('Document Area: ${corners.area} px² | Aspect Ratio: ${corners.aspectRatio}');
}

3. 🏷️ Multi-Format Barcode & Batch Symbology Scanning

Comprehensive 1D & 2D Symbology Support:
- 1D Symbologies: Code 39, Code 93, Code 128, EAN-8, EAN-13, UPC-A, UPC-E, Codabar, ITF-14, GS1-128.
- 2D Symbologies: QR Code, Data Matrix, PDF417, Aztec Code.
Specialized Barcode Parsers:
- GS1 AI (Application Identifiers): Parses GTIN (01), Expiry Date (17), Batch/Lot (10), Serial Number (21), and Quantity (30).
- AAMVA Driver License: Parses PDF417 driver licenses into standard fields.
- UPI Payments & WiFi QRs: Instant extraction of VPA payment parameters and WiFi credentials.
Multi-Barcode Frame Batch Scanning: Scans multiple barcodes simultaneously from a single camera frame or image buffer.

import 'package:scannerpro/scannerpro.dart';

// Multi-barcode batch scanning pass
final ScanResult batchResult = await ScannerPro.scanBarcode(imageBytes, mode: ScanMode.multiCode);

for (final BarcodeResult code in batchResult.barcodes) {
  print('Format: ${code.format} | Payload: ${code.rawValue}');
}

4. 🪄 Auto Document Enhancement & Quality Analysis

Image Filter Suite:
- DocumentFilterMode.grayscale: High-clarity monochrome conversion.
- DocumentFilterMode.binarization: Pure black & white thresholding for document archive indexing.
- DocumentFilterMode.magicColor: Contrast boost and dynamic range enhancement.
- DocumentFilterMode.shadowRemoval: Background whitening and glare/shadow flattening.
- DocumentFilterMode.deskew: Automatic row-shift rotation to fix document tilt.
Scan Quality Analyzer (ScanQualityAnalyzer):
- Discrete Laplacian blur detection (BlurAnalysis).
- Ambient light & lux estimator (LightAnalysis).
- Document tilt angle calculator (SkewAnalysis).
- Overall letter grade assignment (A–F) and actionable recommendations.

import 'package:scannerpro/scannerpro.dart';

// Apply Magic Color document enhancement filter
final Uint8List enhancedBytes = ScannerPro.enhanceDocument(
  rawBytes,
  DocumentFilterMode.magicColor,
);

// Perform full scan quality analysis
final ScanQualityReport report = ScannerPro.analyzeQuality(rawBytes, width: 640, height: 480);
print('Quality Grade: ${report.grade.label} (${report.grade.letterGrade}) | Score: ${report.overallScore}');
for (final rec in report.recommendations) {
  print('Recommendation: $rec');
}

5. 📑 Multi-Page PDF Generation, Encryption & Watermarking

Multi-Page Pagination: Automatically compiles large scan result lists into multi-page PDF documents with automatic page layout, headers, footers, and page numbers (Page X of Y).
Searchable PDF Layer: Embeds recognized OCR text directly into the PDF coordinate system.
Security & Watermarking:
- Diagonal watermark overlays (watermarkText).
- Standard V2 R3 PDF Password Encryption (password).
- PKCS7 Digital Signature Envelope (digitalSignature).
Batch Export: Group results by category and output a unified master PDF bundle.

import 'package:scannerpro/scannerpro.dart';

// Export scan result items into printable, encrypted multi-page PDF
final Uint8List pdfBytes = ScannerPro.exportToPdfBytes(
  results: scanResultList,
  title: 'Enterprise Contract Bundle',
  watermarkText: 'CONFIDENTIAL',
  isEncrypted: true,
  password: 'UserSecret123',
  digitalSignature: true,
);

📱 Quick Start UI Example

You can drop the built-in UniversalScannerView into any Flutter application for instant camera preview, mode switcher tabs, flash controls, crop frames, and result bottom sheets:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:scannerpro/scannerpro.dart';

class ScannerScreen extends StatelessWidget {
  const ScannerScreen({super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(title: const Text('Universal Scanner Pro')),
      body: UniversalScannerView(
        initialMode: ScanMode.qr,
        enableAutoScan: true,
        onScanResult: (ScanResult result) {
          print('Scanned [${result.mode.name}]: ${result.rawValue}');
        },
      ),
    );
  }
}

🔒 Security & Privacy Compliance

scannerpro processes all frames and ML Kit vision pipelines 100% on-device. No camera buffers or raw scan data are transmitted to external servers without explicit user invocation of cloud adapters. Optional encrypted storage envelopes (EncryptedStorage) protect sensitive credentials and identity documents using AES-256-CBC.
