Join 1000+ developers who chose Capture SDK for easy to integrate, professional-grade barcode scanning.

Get Started

Capture SDK is freely available for download from Cocoapods, our Maven repository and NuGet.

Key Features

Performance

Most scanners only support HID Mode, which sends data one letter at a time. It can be slow and even worse, it can be inaccurate. Capture SDK transfers data in large chunks, making it both fast and accurate.

How long does it take to integrate the Capture SDK?

 

We asked a developer with minimal prior experience using our SDK to create a stock counting app to find out.

Following our specs, from “File > New project” to App Store submission took less than 160 billable hours and integrating the SDK took less than 20 hours. We brought the App to Pasatiempo Golf Club as a demonstration, proving to have much success.

You can find the Stock Count App at the Apple® App Store. We also published the source code on Github. Check it out and customize it to fit your own business needs!

RFID and NFC Reader (BETA)

S500-devpage

Be involved in early beta testing for the S550 Token Exchange.

The S550 Token Exchange  captures a cryptographically generated payload “token” from NFC-enabled devices (i.e. phone, smartwatch, payment card or fob) with a high level of trust, and passes this payload over Bluetooth to a tablet or PC that is running a connected application. It can read any HF (13.56 MHz) tag – from an RFID button to a Java Smart Card.

Learn more about the S550 Token Exchange with our preliminary data sheet.

To join our S550 Token Exchange beta, contact us at NFC@socketmobile.com or +1 (800) 856-9387.
