BlinkID v6.10.0 Release: accessibility improvements, higher first-time pass rates and, more documents!
BlinkID’s latest release introduces updates that ensure high first-time success rates, expand our coverage to include new document types, and improve accessibility of our mobile SDKs.
New Features
Improved reliability and first-time successful scanning experience
- Avoiding Double Scans of the Front Side: BlinkID now prompts users to flip the document when they try to scan the front side twice. With this more intelligent capturing and scanning, we’re reducing the chance of mistakes.
- Starting with the Right Side: If users attempt to scan the back side of a document first, BlinkID will prompt them to begin with the front side. This feature ensures that users follow the correct order, leading to a more reliable and user-friendly experience.
Accessibility improvements in mobile SDKs
For Android and iOS
- Accessible button names – We added accessible names to the help and flashlight buttons, enabling screen readers (TalkBack, VoiceOver) to read them correctly.
- Glare warning toast – The toast is now correctly detected and read by screen readers (TalkBack, VoiceOver).
For now, Android only
- Enhanced button contrast – We improved contrast for the close and flashlight buttons, making them easier to distinguish.
- Improved focus order – We enhanced focus order on help and onboarding screens to ensure proper reading of instructions when using TalkBack.
