Hey everyone! We are super happy to be featured on Product Hunt today! Big thanks to @__tosh for the hunt! :) My name is Daniel and I’m the CTO at Anyline!
Anyline is a mobile OCR (Optical Character Recognition) SDK, which can be implemented in any kind of mobile application. We have been working hard for the past years to enable developers the recognition of a variety of text, codes and numbers for their mobile app use cases! We’d love to hear your opinion, questions and feedback on Anyline! :)
>> Today and the whole rest of the week, we are giving away a 10% voucher on the Anyline Do It Yourself Basic Edition which is perfect for Startups & SMEs, looking for the perfect, easy & customizable OCR solution! (voucher code: ScanAllTheThings!) <<
Looking forward to hear your feedback! :)
Hi Kevin! Thanks a lot for your question!
Actually we took a different approach with our Anyline SDK. The scanning happens in the video stream and without snapping a picture. Through processing video frames the SDK tries to extract the text more or less in real-time. Therefore the result can be more accurate as the SDK compares results from single frames (aka pictures) with each other and gives back the result with a higher confidence.
All of this happens within milliseconds as the processing stays directly on the device.
Hey @reiter_jakob ! Great question, thank you! :) Anyline does not need a server connection in order to process the images. It works completely offline on the device! This means you receive instant feedback while scanning and a close-to-real-time result! :)
Hey @stefanraffeiner ! Of course the SDK works better on new or high-end devices but we support Android back to Android 4.0.3 ! On old devices with a slow hardware it could take longer for the result, but if the device's camera works properly, you will definitely get a scan result!
