ISBN Scanning
Your Mobile OCR Solution
Preset SDK Configuration
An ISBN is an International Standard Book Number. ISBNs were 10 digits in length up to the end of December 2006, but since 1 January 2007 they now always consist of 13 digits. ISBNs are calculated using a specific mathematical formula and include a check digit to validate the number.
An ISBN is essentially a product identifier used by publishers, booksellers, libraries, internet retailers and other supply chain participants for ordering, listing, sales records and stock control purposes. The ISBN identifies the registrant as well as the specific title, edition and format.
In order to assist in all processes where ISBNs have to be typed on mobile devices, we have preconfigured Anyline to scan and extract the number for digital processing.
Have a look at the product specifications.
This preset configuration has been done using the AnylineOCR Module of the Anyline SDK – and this is how ISBNs and OCR work together.

Use Cases
Scan ISBN
Are you going through the inventory of your book depot or simply want to link a book number to more context information? Not every book has a barcode printed on it and only provides you with the 10 or 13 digits long ISBN code. To easily identify that code, simply use the Anyline ISBN implementation – what you let your app do with the scanned ISBN number after the identification is absolutely up to your choice.
