Overview

The Genius Scan iOS SDK is a set of modular Cocoa frameworks. This structure enables you to integrate just the feature you need and keep the SDK footprint very small:

• GSSDK: the core framework of the SDK including the low-level image processing, basic UI components, and PDF generation
  • GSK – the entry point for the SDK initialization and all the low-level image processing features.
  • GSKPDF - the entry point for the PDF generation
  • Low-level UI components to build a custom scanner UI:
  • GSKCameraViewController - the base class for implementing a custom camera view controller
  • GSKCameraSession - manages the camera settings during the capture
• GSSDKScannerUI: this framework is the go-to place if you need a high-level scanner module that you can drop as-is in your project. Classes from this framework are prefixed with GSKScannerUI, and it depends on the core framework GSSDK.
  • GSKScannerUI - the entry point to start the scanner module in your app
• GSSDKOCR: text recognition. Classes from this framework are prefixed with GSKOCR. It also depends on GSSDK.
  • GSKOCR - the entry point to recognize text in an image

Getting started

To get started, we recommend looking at the example applications provided with the SDK in the Examples/ folder.

GSSDKCustomExample

Written in Objective-C, this app demonstrates how to create a custom scanning experience by using the frameworks GSSDK and GSSDKOCR. It’s a good starting point if you want to create a customized scanning experience.

GSSDKScannerExample

This very simple example written in Swift on the GSSDKScannerUI framework. It shows how to integrate an entire scan flow in the app with just a couple lines. It’s a good starting point to integrate a scanner module with your app but do not need advanced customization.
