What it solves

BlinkID SDK provides a secure and automated way to implement identification document scanning on iOS. It eliminates the need for manual data entry by automatically capturing, analyzing, and extracting information from a wide variety of ID documents, while ensuring image quality through built-in validation for blur, glare, and lighting.

How it works

The SDK operates through two primary modules: a core BlinkID framework for headless image processing and an optional BlinkIDUX package for a ready-to-use SwiftUI user interface. It uses a BlinkIDSession to manage the scanning workflow, which involves processing camera frames to detect documents, extract data from Machine Readable Zones (MRZ), barcodes, and Visual Inspection Zones (VIZ), and validating the document's perspective and quality.

Who it’s for

It is designed for iOS developers who need to integrate professional-grade identity verification and document scanning into their mobile applications.

Highlights

• Comprehensive Extraction: Supports MRZ, 1D/2D barcodes, and VIZ field extraction.
• Quality Assurance: Built-in detection for blur, glare, tilt, and hand occlusion to ensure high-quality captures.
• Flexible Integration: Offers both a full UX package for rapid deployment and a core API for custom implementations.
• Modern Swift Architecture: Built with Swift 6 and SwiftUI, utilizing concurrency features and actor isolation for thread-safe performance.
