The Dynamsoft Capture Vision Bundle is a single NuGet package that bundles three powerful vision capabilities: Dynamsoft Barcode Reader (DBR), Dynamsoft Document Normalizer (DDN), and Dynamsoft Label Recognizer (DLR) with MRZ parsing support. All capabilities are exposed through a single unified CaptureVisionRouter API. In this tutorial, we will build a...

SEMI (Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International) font is a special dot matrix font used for marking silicon wafers. In this tutorial, we’ll walk through building a Python application to recognize these specialized markings using Dynamsoft Capture Vision SDK. What you’ll build: A cross-platform Python script that loads a custom SEMI...

.NET MAUI is designed for cross-platform development, but achieving seamless compatibility across all platforms isn’t always straightforward. While developers might assume cross-platform apps are easy to build with .NET MAUI, many existing libraries were initially tailored for Xamarin and remain limited to Android and iOS. Creating a unified .NET MAUI...

Dynamsoft provides two NuGet packages for .NET MAUI development: Dynamsoft.BarcodeReaderBundle.Maui and Dynamsoft.DotNet.BarcodeReader.Bundle. The former targets Android and iOS, while the latter is built for Windows. In this article, we will demonstrate how to use Windows Media API to capture video frames from a USB camera and integrate Dynamsoft Barcode Reader...

In the previous article, we developed a LiteCam library for camera access on Linux. To extend its functionality to Windows, we will leverage the Media Foundation API. This article explores how to use Media Foundation to access the camera on Windows, integrate it with the LiteCam library, and reuse the...

Barcode Scanning has become an essential tool across various industries, from retail and logistics to healthcare. On desktop platforms, it enables the quick capture and processing of information without manual data entry, saving time and reducing errors. In this tutorial, we will continue exploring the capabilities of the Dynamsoft Capture...

Machine Readable Zone (MRZ) is a crucial feature adopted in modern passports, visas, and ID cards. It contains essential information about the document holder, such as their name, gender, country code, and document number. MRZ recognition plays a key role in border control, airport security, and hotel check-in processes. In...

Document detection is a key feature in many modern desktop, mobile and web applications. Recently, Dynamsoft unleashed its Python Capture Vision SDK, which provides a groundbreaking solution for developers working across Windows, Linux, and macOS. While the SDK also supports barcode and MRZ detection, this tutorial will focus on its...

The Machine Readable Zone (MRZ) is a section on passports, IDs, visas, and other travel documents that encodes key personal information, such as the holder’s name, nationality, document number, date of birth, gender, and document expiration date, in a standardized format. In this article, you’ll learn how to use the...

OpenCV is a powerful library capable of handling a wide range of computer vision tasks. However, its comprehensive functionality can result in a large library size, which may be excessive for applications that only require cross-platform camera streaming. In this article, we will demonstrate how to slim down OpenCV to...

This tutorial walks through building a real-time webcam barcode reader for Windows desktop using C#, the DirectShow.NET library, and the Dynamsoft Barcode Reader SDK. DirectShow.NET captures video frames from a USB webcam, while the Dynamsoft Barcode Reader SDK decodes 1D and 2D barcodes from each frame. This approach is ideal...

Rust’s popularity continues to surge in the systems programming world due to its unique combination of memory safety, performance, and concurrency. This comprehensive article demonstrates how to integrate Rust with the Dynamsoft Capture Vision Router SDK using FFI (Foreign Function Interface) bindings. We’ll build a robust command-line barcode reader that...

In this article, we continue our series on parcel scanning technologies by delving into the world of C++. Building on our previous JavaScript tutorial, we will explore how to implement barcode scanning and OCR text extraction using C++. This guide will cover setting up the development environment, integrating necessary libraries,...

Dynamsoft’s official C++ Barcode SDK provides only command line samples in C++, which are not user-friendly for selecting image files and displaying results. The Win32 API (Windows API) is a core set of application programming interfaces primarily used for developing Windows GUI applications in C and C++. This article will...

Using the Dynamic Web TWAIN Service RESTful API significantly simplifies the creation of document scanning applications. However, distributing these as desktop applications can be somewhat challenging. Users are required to install both the developer’s application and the Dynamic Web TWAIN Service. Bundling them together in a single installation package would...

Recently, Dynamsoft rolled out C++ Barcode SDK v10.0. This version has been entirely re-written in C++, providing an entirely new suite of APIs for barcode reading. However, if you’re using MinGW(Minimalist GNU for Windows) to code with this SDK, such as integrating it into a Qt project, you may encounter...

Previously, I created a flutter_web_twain to assist developers in building web-based document scanning applications with Flutter and Dynamic Web TWAIN. In this article, I will demonstrate how to integrate Dynamic Web TWAIN into a Flutter Windows desktop application using Flutter Windows webview plugin. What you’ll build: A Flutter Windows desktop...

When building a TWAIN-compatible application and there is no physical scanner available, you can use a virtual scanner application for development and testing. TWAIN working group has released a TWAIN DS sample on GitHub. In this article, I will detail how to set up the development environment, as well as...

Qt Designer is a powerful tool for creating cross-platform graphical user interfaces (GUIs) using Qt widgets.
