Capture Barcode Changes

We changed how Capture scans a barcode. We replaced the scanning oval that sweeps down the page with a bright alignment frame. The alignment frame makes it easier to position an ID, which results in a quicker experience. We also changed the instructions to state, "Scan back of ID".

Other updates

We made a few minor updates to the descriptions of certain response properties:

  • Updated matchScore, matchProbability, and livenessScore to note that values are rounded to two decimal places.
  • docType. Contains the type of document (if available) from the barcode, for example, Driver's License, Learner's Permit, Operator License, and so on. Values vary by issuing jurisdiction. An empty value means the type is not identifiable.
  • docCategory. Contains the document category acronym from the barcode. The value is typically one of the following: DL (driver license), HC (health card), ID (identification card), MIL (military identification). Rarely, certain other values are possible: WPN (weapon), HCP (handicap), WV (water vehicle), EMP (employee), OID (other). An empty value means the category is not identifiable.
