It would be nice to have Survey123 have an image scan that can read photo ids/credit cards/documents and then interpret the numbers/text into a read only or editable text box. 

My application would either be reading a photo ID or a document with a unique identifier stamped (wish it was a barcode) and then use the camera to capture the image and interpret simple characters into the text box.

Have you tried the Bar code reader app?  Most, if not all, information on an ID card is found in the barcode found on the cards.

Hi @RenatoSalvaleon ,

An experiment feature is now available in the Beta Survey123 web app to help extract information from an image using natural language. You can find more information about this feature in this EAC document.

 

Please let us know if this helps your workflow.
