Everything you need to add AI-driven ID scanning into your native Android app.

What it solves

BlinkID SDK for Android provides a secure way to scan identification documents and automatically extract data from them. It eliminates the need for manual data entry by converting physical ID documents into structured digital information.

How it works

The SDK uses the device's camera to capture images of ID documents. It processes these images to identify the document type and extract relevant fields. The system can pull data from multiple sources on a document, including barcodes, Machine Readable Zones (MRZ), and visual text, combining them to provide the most reliable result.

Who it’s for

Android developers building applications that require identity verification, KYC (Know Your Customer) processes, or any workflow involving the scanning of government-issued IDs.

Highlights

  • Multi-source extraction: Combines data from Barcodes, MRZ, and visual text for high accuracy.
  • Flexible Integration: Offers both a Jetpack Compose-based UI for modern apps and a traditional Activity-based approach for Java apps.
  • ** uma custom UX**: Allows developers to build entirely custom scanning overlays and handle low-level UX events via a custom ViewModel.
  • Resource Management: Supports pre-bundling SDK resources into the app to reduce startup time and network dependency.
