QUESTION / ENHANCEMENT: Deny certain fields from being scanned #262

Closed sha8wn closed 3 years ago

sha8wn commented 3 years ago

Hello CardScan team,

I have the SDK up and running and it works well.

I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but right now when I scan the credit card, it scans all the relevant data as expected.

However, for my application, I only need the CC number. While I can handle that on the UI side of my app to show only the relevant fields, for a brief moment, on the Card Scanner Controller, it does show that the expiry was scanned as well which might make the user's wonder, why am I scanning this data if I do not need it.

So I was wondering if there was a way to specify what fields we were interested in scanning ?

Thanks in advance.

Which ViewController are you using? There should be a way to customize the UI that we provide to have the same net effect of what you're looking for, but it's a little different between ScanViewController and SimpleScanViewController

I am using CardScan via VGS so what I use is something called VGSCardScanController. I believe under the hood it is using ScanViewController

Hi @sha8wn from a systems and efficiency perspective we would run the exact same machine learning even if you were interested in only the card number. Are you looking for a way to hide the expiry UI view when the scanning process is happening, or were you more interested in improved performance due to scanning fewer entities?

Hello @kingst - for my application, the performance seems fine, hiding the view should suffice for now.
