SimulScan Document Capture

Overview

This sample application demonstrates how Simulscan APIs can be used to capture multiple types of data from forms, labels, boxes etc.

Prerequisites

• A SimulScan-licensed device
• A Simulscan template
• A printed copy of the form used to create the template
• Android API 19 or higher loaded via the SDK Manager

Loading the Sample Application

1. Choose a sample and click the See Details button.
2. Now click the Download button
3. IMPORTANT: Extract the downloaded project zip file to C:\ (or to the root of an alternate drive).
4. Navigate to the root of the unzipped project folder and double-click the .sln file. The project loads in the default IDE for that file type.

Alternatively, launch a preferred IDE and load the project via the File > Open menu.
