Modern mobile apps are increasingly moving beyond just "viewing" images to "understanding" them. Whether it's scanning a receipt, reading a business card, or extracting data from an ID, document workflows are a top requirement. ImagePickerKMP supports these workflows by providing a unified way to capture images and select PDFs. The feature list at https://imagepickerkmp.dev/ highlights PDF and OCR-ready capture as key capabilities.
The library's role in an OCR workflow is to provide high-quality, predictable input. For OCR to work well, the image needs to be clear, correctly framed, and available in a format the OCR engine can read.
Workflow Step ImagePickerKMP Role
Capture Use CameraScaleType.FIT_CENTER for precise framing
Selection Use mimeTypes to allow both images and PDFs
Preparation Use PhotoResult.absolutePath to pass to a native OCR SDK
Shared Logic Use PhotoResult.toPath() for shared extraction logic
