Scanning SDK

TRAKWIND Scan inside your own software

TRAKWIND Scan is the barcode engine SKILLO wrote from scratch in C++, running entirely on the device — no borrowed decoder, no third-party scanning SDK. It is the same engine that ships inside our own keyboard app, and because the core is portable, it goes wherever you need to read a code.

In your own Android app

Embed the engine in your app and read all 26 formats with a decoder we wrote and maintain ourselves. Tell us what you are building and we will get you set up.

In the browser, through WebAssembly

The same core compiles to WebAssembly, so scanning runs inside a web page on the visitor’s own device — no app to install, no round trip to a server. Web check-in, warehouse web apps, e-commerce returns, field-service portals.

On iOS

The same core packaged for iPhone and iPad, so one decoder covers both platforms and reads a label the same way on each.

The engine decodes 26 formats, among them GS1 DataBar, Micro QR, rMQR, MaxiCode, MicroPDF417, DotCode and the 4-state postal codes. The decoder is our own code, so the format list follows what our customers need.
