Document Processing

When the initialization is completed successfully, you can start the document processing. To start the document processing, a scenario must be set. In the examples below, we will use the Full Processing scenario.

There are two ways to process documents:

• Using the built-in camera
• Picking images from gallery

Using Built-in Camera

1. For iOS devices, add permissions:

iOS

Add the NSCameraUsageDescription permission to your Info.plist - this is needed to grant access to the device's camera:

Info.plist

<key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
<string>Is used to access to the camera</string>

2. Set the processing scenario:

SwiftObjective-C Kotlin Java Flutter React Native Ionic Cordova.NET MAUI

let config = DocReader.ScannerConfig()
config.scenario = RGL_SCENARIO_FULL_PROCESS

RGLScannerConfig *config = [[RGLScannerConfig alloc] init];
config.scenario = RGL_SCENARIO_FULL_PROCESS;

val scannerConfig = ScannerConfig.Builder(Scenario.SCENARIO_FULL_PROCESS).build()
DocumentReader.Instance().showScanner(this@MainActivity, scannerConfig, completion)

ScannerConfig scannerConfig = new ScannerConfig.Builder(Scenario.SCENARIO_FULL_PROCESS).build();
DocumentReader.Instance().showScanner(MainActivity.this, scannerConfig, completion);

var config = ScannerConfig.withScenario(Scenario.FULL_PROCESS);
DocumentReader.instance.scan(config, completion);

var config = new ScannerConfig()
config.scenario = ScenarioIdentifier.SCENARIO_FULL_PROCESS
DocumentReader.scan(config, _ => { }, _ => { })

var config = new ScannerConfig()
config.scenario = ScenarioIdentifier.SCENARIO_FULL_PROCESS
DocumentReader.scan(config)

var config = new ScannerConfig()
config.scenario = ScenarioIdentifier.SCENARIO_FULL_PROCESS
DocumentReader.scan(config, function (m) { }, function (e) { });

// Android
ScannerConfig config = new ScannerConfig.Builder(Scenario.ScenarioFullProcess).Build();
DocumentReader.Instance().ShowScanner(Platform.AppContext, config, this);

// iOS
RGLScannerConfig config = new()
{
    Scenario = Constants.RGL_SCENARIO_FULL_PROCESS
};
RGLDocReader.Shared.ShowScannerFromPresenter(CurrentPresenter, config, OnResultsObtained);

3. Start the recognition process:

SwiftObjective-C Kotlin Java Flutter React Native Ionic Cordova.NET MAUI

let config = DocReader.ScannerConfig()
config.scenario = RGL_SCENARIO_FULL_PROCESS

DocReader.shared.showScanner(presenter: self, config: config) { (action, result, error) in
    if action == .complete || action == .processTimeout {
        print(result)
    }
}

RGLScannerConfig *config = [[RGLScannerConfig alloc] init];
config.scenario = RGL_SCENARIO_FULL_PROCESS;

[RGLDocReader.shared showScannerFromPresenter:self config:config completion:^(enum RGLDocReaderAction action, RGLDocumentReaderResults * _Nullable results, NSError * _Nullable error) {
    if (action == RGLDocReaderActionComplete || action == RGLDocReaderActionProcessTimeout) {
        NSLog(@"%@", results);
    }
}];

val scannerConfig = ScannerConfig.Builder(Scenario.SCENARIO_FULL_PROCESS).build()
DocumentReader.Instance().showScanner(this@MainActivity, scannerConfig, completion)

private val completion = IDocumentReaderCompletion { action, results, error ->
    if (action == DocReaderAction.COMPLETE || action == DocReaderAction.TIMEOUT ) { 
        // document processing was finished
    }
}

ScannerConfig scannerConfig = new ScannerConfig.Builder(Scenario.SCENARIO_FULL_PROCESS).build();
DocumentReader.Instance().showScanner(MainActivity.this, scannerConfig, completion);

private IDocumentReaderCompletion completion = new IDocumentReaderCompletion() {
    @Override
    public void onCompleted(int action, DocumentReaderResults results, Throwable error) {
        if (action == DocReaderAction.COMPLETE || action == DocReaderAction.TIMEOUT ) { 
            // document processing was finished
        }
    }
};

var config = ScannerConfig.withScenario(Scenario.FULL_PROCESS);
DocumentReader.instance.scan(config, (action, results, error) {
  if (action == DocReaderAction.COMPLETE || action == DocReaderAction.TIMEOUT) {
    // document processing was finished
  }
});

eventManager.addListener('completion', e => this.handleCompletion(DocumentReaderCompletion.fromJson(JSON.parse(e["msg"]))))

var config = new ScannerConfig()
config.scenario = ScenarioIdentifier.SCENARIO_FULL_PROCESS
DocumentReader.scan(config, _ => { }, _ => { })

handleCompletion(completion) {
    // handle results
}

var config = new ScannerConfig()
config.scenario = ScenarioIdentifier.SCENARIO_FULL_PROCESS
DocumentReader.scan(config).subscribe(m => {
    // handle results
})

var config = new ScannerConfig()
config.scenario = ScenarioIdentifier.SCENARIO_FULL_PROCESS
DocumentReader.scan(config, function(m) {
    // handle results
}, function(e) { })

// Android
public void Start()
{
    ScannerConfig config = new ScannerConfig.Builder(Scenario.ScenarioFullProcess).Build();
    DocumentReader.Instance().ShowScanner(Platform.AppContext, config, this);
}

public void OnCompleted(int action, DocumentReaderResults results, string error)
{
    // handle completion
}

// iOS
public partial class ViewController : UIViewController
{
    partial void Start()
    {
        RGLScannerConfig config = new()
        {
            Scenario = Constants.RGL_SCENARIO_FULL_PROCESS
        };
        RGLDocReader.Shared.ShowScannerFromPresenter(CurrentPresenter, config, ShowScannerCompleted);
    }

    void ShowScannerCompleted(RGLDocReaderAction action, RGLDocumentReaderResults result, string error)
    {
        // handle completion
    }
}

During the processing, actions that demonstrate the state of the camera are received. For example, COMPLETE means that the processing is completed and the processing results can be handled. You can find all available actions and their descriptions in our API Reference documentation:

• iOS
• Android

Picking Images from Gallery

1. Add permissions:

iOS Android

Add the NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription permission to your Info.plist - this is needed to grant access to the device's gallery:

Info.plist

<key>NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription</key>
<string>Is used to access to the gallery</string>

Add the READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission to your AndroidManifest - this is needed to grant access the device's gallery:

AndroidManifest.xml

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

2. Set the processing scenario:

SwiftObjective-C Kotlin Java Flutter React Native Ionic Cordova.NET MAUI

let config = DocReader.RecognizeConfig(images: images)
config.scenario = RGL_SCENARIO_FULL_PROCESS

RGLRecognizeConfig *config = [[RGLRecognizeConfig alloc] initWithImages:images];
config.scenario = RGL_SCENARIO_FULL_PROCESS;

val recognizeConfig = RecognizeConfig.Builder(Scenario.SCENARIO_FULL_PROCESS).setBitmaps(bitmaps).build()

RecognizeConfig recognizeConfig = RecognizeConfig.Builder(Scenario.SCENARIO_FULL_PROCESS).setBitmaps(bitmaps).build();

var config = RecognizeConfig.withScenario(Scenario.FULL_PROCESS, RecognizeData.withImages(images));

var config = new RecognizeConfig()
config.scenario = ScenarioIdentifier.SCENARIO_FULL_PROCESS
config.images = images

var config = new RecognizeConfig()
config.scenario = ScenarioIdentifier.SCENARIO_FULL_PROCESS
config.images = images

var config = new RecognizeConfig()
config.scenario = ScenarioIdentifier.SCENARIO_FULL_PROCESS
config.images = images

// Android
RecognizeConfig config = new RecognizeConfig.Builder(Scenario.ScenarioFullProcess).SetBitmap(bitmap).Build();

// iOS
RGLRecognizeConfig config = new(image)
{
    Scenario = Constants.RGL_SCENARIO_FULL_PROCESS
};

3. Start the recognition process:

• To process one or more images, use:

SwiftObjective-C Kotlin Java Flutter React Native Ionic Cordova.NET MAUI

let config = DocReader.RecognizeConfig(images: images)
config.scenario = RGL_SCENARIO_FULL_PROCESS

DocReader.shared.recognize(config: config) { (action, result, error) in
    if action == .complete {
        print(result)
    }
}

RGLRecognizeConfig *config = [[RGLRecognizeConfig alloc] initWithImages:images];
config.scenario = RGL_SCENARIO_FULL_PROCESS;

[RGLDocReader.shared recognizeWithConfig:config completion:^(RGLDocReaderAction action, RGLDocumentReaderResults * _Nullable results, NSError * _Nullable error) {
    if (action == RGLDocReaderActionComplete || action == RGLDocReaderActionProcessTimeout) {
        NSLog(@"%@", results);
    }
}];

val recognizeConfig = RecognizeConfig.Builder(Scenario.SCENARIO_FULL_PROCESS).setBitmaps(bitmaps).build()
DocumentReader.Instance().recognize(recognizeConfig, completion)

RecognizeConfig recognizeConfig = RecognizeConfig.Builder(Scenario.SCENARIO_FULL_PROCESS).setBitmaps(bitmaps).build();
DocumentReader.Instance().recognize(recognizeConfig, completion);

var config = RecognizeConfig.withScenario(Scenario.FULL_PROCESS, RecognizeData.withImages(images));
DocumentReader.instance.recognize(config, completion);

eventManager.addListener('completion', e => this.handleCompletion(DocumentReaderCompletion.fromJson(JSON.parse(e["msg"]))))

var config = new RecognizeConfig()
config.scenario = ScenarioIdentifier.SCENARIO_FULL_PROCESS
config.images = images
DocumentReader.recognize(config, _ => { }, _ => { })

handleCompletion(completion) {
    // handle results
}

var config = new RecognizeConfig()
config.scenario = ScenarioIdentifier.SCENARIO_FULL_PROCESS
config.images = images
DocumentReader.recognize(config).subscribe(m => {
    // handle results
})

var config = new RecognizeConfig()
config.scenario = ScenarioIdentifier.SCENARIO_FULL_PROCESS
config.images = images
DocumentReader.recognize(config, function(m) {
    // handle results
}, function(e) { })

// Android
public void Recognize()
{
    RecognizeConfig config = new RecognizeConfig.Builder(Scenario.ScenarioFullProcess).SetBitmap(bitmap).Build();
    DocumentReader.Instance().Recognize(Platform.AppContext, config, this);
}

public void OnCompleted(int action, DocumentReaderResults results, string error)
{
    // handle completion
}

// iOS
public partial class ViewController : UIViewController
{
    partial void Recognize()
    {
        RGLRecognizeConfig config = new(image)
        {
            Scenario = Constants.RGL_SCENARIO_FULL_PROCESS
        };
        RGLDocReader.Shared.RecognizeWithConfig(config, HandleRGLDocumentReaderCompletion);
    }

    void HandleRGLDocumentReaderCompletion(RGLDocReaderAction action, RGLDocumentReaderResults result, NSError error)
    {
        // handle completion
    }
}

• To process one image as binary, use:

SwiftObjective-C Kotlin Java Flutter React Native Ionic Cordova.NET MAUI

let config = DocReader.RecognizeConfig(imageData: data)
config.scenario = RGL_SCENARIO_FULL_PROCESS

DocReader.shared.recognize(config: config) { (action, result, error) in
    if action == .complete {
        print(result)
    }
}

RGLRecognizeConfig *config = [[RGLRecognizeConfig alloc] initWithImageData:data];
config.scenario = RGL_SCENARIO_FULL_PROCESS;

[RGLDocReader.shared recognizeWithConfig:config completion:^(RGLDocReaderAction action, RGLDocumentReaderResults * _Nullable results, NSError * _Nullable error) {
    if (action == RGLDocReaderActionComplete || action == RGLDocReaderActionProcessTimeout) {
        NSLog(@"%@", results);
    }
}];

val recognizeConfig = RecognizeConfig.Builder(Scenario.SCENARIO_FULL_PROCESS).setData(data).build()
DocumentReader.Instance().recognize(recognizeConfig, completion)

RecognizeConfig recognizeConfig = RecognizeConfig.Builder(Scenario.SCENARIO_FULL_PROCESS).setData(data).build();
DocumentReader.Instance().recognize(recognizeConfig, completion);

var config = RecognizeConfig.withScenario(Scenario.FULL_PROCESS, RecognizeData.withData(data));
DocumentReader.instance.recognize(config, completion);

eventManager.addListener('completion', e => this.handleCompletion(DocumentReaderCompletion.fromJson(JSON.parse(e["msg"]))))

var config = new RecognizeConfig()
config.scenario = ScenarioIdentifier.SCENARIO_FULL_PROCESS
config.data = data
DocumentReader.recognize(config, _ => { }, _ => { })

handleCompletion(completion) {
    // handle results
}

var config = new RecognizeConfig()
config.scenario = ScenarioIdentifier.SCENARIO_FULL_PROCESS
config.data = data
DocumentReader.recognize(config).subscribe(m => {
    // handle results
})

var config = new RecognizeConfig()
config.scenario = ScenarioIdentifier.SCENARIO_FULL_PROCESS
config.data = data
DocumentReader.recognize(config, function(m) {
    // handle results
}, function(e) { })

// Android
public void Recognize()
{
    RecognizeConfig config = new RecognizeConfig.Builder(Scenario.ScenarioFullProcess).SetData(data).Build();
    DocumentReader.Instance().Recognize(Platform.AppContext, config, this);
}

public void OnCompleted(int action, DocumentReaderResults results, string error)
{
    // handle completion
}

// iOS
public partial class ViewController : UIViewController
{
    partial void Recognize()
    {
        RGLRecognizeConfig config = new(data)
        {
            Scenario = Constants.RGL_SCENARIO_FULL_PROCESS
        };
        RGLDocReader.Shared.RecognizeWithConfig(config, HandleRGLDocumentReaderCompletion);
    }

    void HandleRGLDocumentReaderCompletion(RGLDocReaderAction action, RGLDocumentReaderResults result, NSError error)
    {
        // handle completion
    }
}

In the examples above, data is an image in .pdf, .jpg, .png, or other format.

You can find other methods used for frames processing in the API Reference documentation:

• iOS
• Android
