OCR based Mpesa payment scanner app built with Flutter and Dart # SkaniPay Scan. Pay. Done. SkaniPay is a Flutter-based mobile application designed to simplify mobile payments (like M-Pesa) by scanning Till numbers, Paybill numbers, Agent numbers, and Phone numbers directly from printed materials or screens. ## Features - **Withdraw Cash**: Scan Agent & Store numbers. - **Buy Goods & Services**: Scan Till numbers. - **Pay Bill**: Scan Paybill & Account numbers. - **Pochi la Biashara**: Scan Pochi numbers. - **Gallery Support**: Select images from your gallery for scanning. - **USSD Fallback**: If the M-Pesa app is not installed, the app provides a convenient USSD shortcut. ## Getting Started ### Prerequisites - Flutter SDK (v3.11.5 or later) - Android Studio / VS Code - An Android or iOS device with a camera ### Installation 1. Clone the repository: ```bash git clone github.com ``` 2. Navigate to the project directory: ```bash cd Skanipay ``` 3. Install dependencies: ```bash flutter pub get ``` 4.
