Capacitor app on Android and iOS. These are unofficial, open-source plugins maintained by Capawesome. Open a plugin's page for installation steps, supported platforms, and the full API reference. ## Plugins[¶](#plugins "Permanent link") * [Barcode Scanning](/docs/sdks/capacitor/mlkit/barcode-scanning/) — Scan barcodes and QR codes. * [Document Scanner](/docs/sdks/capacitor/mlkit/document-scanner/) — Scan documents with the device camera. * [Face Detection](/docs/sdks/capacitor/mlkit/face-detection/) — Detect faces in images. * [Face Mesh Detection](/docs/sdks/capacitor/mlkit/face-mesh-detection/) — Detect faces and their mesh in images. * [Selfie Segmentation](/docs/sdks/capacitor/mlkit/selfie-segmentation/) — Separate the foreground from the background in selfies. * [Subject Segmentation](/docs/sdks/capacitor/mlkit/subject-segmentation/) — Segment subjects from images. * [Translation](/docs/sdks/capacitor/mlkit/translation/) — Translate text between languages on-device. ## FAQ[¶](#faq "Permanent link") ### What are the Capacitor ML Kit plugins?[¶](#what-are-the-capacitor-ml-kit-plugins "Permanent link") They are packages that expose Google's native ML Kit SDKs through a unified JavaScript API, letting you run on-device machine learning in a Capacitor app without writing native code yourself. To learn more about the underlying SDKs, see the [official Google ML Kit documentation](https://developers.google.com/ml-kit). ### Are these ML Kit plugins free?[¶](#are-these-ml-kit-plugins-free "Permanent link") Yes. All ML Kit plugins listed here are open source and free to use. ### Which platforms do the plugins support?[¶](#which-platforms-do-the-plugins-support "Permanent link") The plugins support Android and iOS, with selected plugins also supporting the Web. The supported platforms are listed at the top of each plugin's documentation page. ### How do I get support?[¶](#how-do-i-get-support "Permanent link") For bugs and feature requests, open an issue on the plugin's GitHub repository. For dedicated help, see our [support options](/docs/support/). ## Next steps[¶](#next-steps "Permanent link") * Browse all our [Capacitor plugins](/docs/sdks/capacitor/). * Explore [Capawesome Cloud](/docs/cloud/) for Live Updates, Native Builds, and App Store Publishing. * View the source on [GitHub](https://github.com/capawesome-team).
