Anyline is an Austrian mobile scanning and OCR (optical character recognition) company founded in 2013 in Vienna. The platform provides AI-powered text and barcode recognition that runs directly on mobile devices — enabling smartphones to accurately scan and digitize identity documents, meters, license plates, barcodes, and any printed text in real-time. Anyline's technology works offline (on-device processing), which is critical for field workers in areas with poor connectivity and for organizations that need to keep scanned data on the device for privacy. The platform is used across industries including utilities (meter reading), logistics (package scanning), retail, and government (ID verification). Anyline's SDK integrates into iOS and Android apps in hours.
