When Basic Camera Capture Isn't Enough for Mobile Workflows

When Basic Camera Capture Isn't Enough for Mobile Workflows

  • Standard camera apps capture blurry, skewed, and unreadable photos that fail downstream processing.
  • Cloud-only OCR requires constant internet connectivity, adding latency and data privacy risks.
  • Basic mobile SDKs lack the ability to generate highly compressed, searchable PDF/A documents directly on the device.
  • Open-source mobile tools struggle with complex layouts, poor lighting, and non-Latin languages.

IRISMobile™ SDK turns any smartphone into an intelligent, offline data capture powerhouse.

  •  Capture perfectly: Automatically detect document borders and correct 3D perspective in real-time.
  • Process locally: Run powerful OCR directly on the mobile device without sending sensitive data to the cloud.
  • Output cleanly: Generate highly compressed, searchable PDFs, Word files, or raw text files instantly.
  • Develop rapidly: Use our pre-built demo applications to drastically shorten your time-to-market.

Understanding the Mobile SDK

Your Most Common Questions

Do I need an internet connection to run the OCR?

No. IRISMobile™ SDK processes images and performs OCR natively on the device, ensuring full offline capabilities and strict data privacy.

Can it handle images taken at weird angles or in bad lighting?

Yes. The SDK includes automated 3D perspective correction, border detection, and adaptive binarization to clean up imperfect mobile photos.

How long does it take to integrate?

Thanks to our included sample code and comprehensive demo applications for both iOS and Android, developers can build a working prototype in a matter of hours.

What output formats are supported?

You can output directly to PDF, PDF/A, Word, Excel, CSV, XML, and more, complete with our proprietary high-compression technology.
