# Implementation

This section only covers testing Identity Scanner and accessing the sample SDK code templates from the Catalyst console. Refer to the [SDK](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/java/v1/zia-services/identity-scanner/facial-comparison) and [API](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/api/code-reference/zia-services/identity-scanner/facial-comparison)  documentation sections for implementing the feature in your application.

### Access Identity Scanner

To access Identity Scanner in your Catalyst console:

1. Navigate to **Zia Services** in the left pane of the Catalyst console and click **Identity Scanner.**
 ![identity-scanner](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/help/identity-scanner/identity-scanner-updated.webp)

2. Click **Try a Demo** in the Identity Scanner feature page to scan and process the various supported Identity proof documents.

### Test Identity Scanner in the Catalyst Console

Identity Scanner contains all 5 features as individual sections in the console:

* E-KYC
* Aadhaar Card
* PAN Card
* Passbook
* Cheque

![catalyst_id_feature](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/help/identity-scanner/catalyst_id_feature.webp)

You can test each feature by either selecting an existing sample image for it that Catalyst provides, or by uploading your own files.

> **Note:** Refer to the [E-KYC Request Format](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/zia-services/help/identity-scanner/key-concepts/#request-format) or [Document Processing Request Format](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/zia-services/help/identity-scanner/key-concepts/#request-format-1) sections for the input formats.

#### E-KYC

To process sample files or files of your own and test [E-KYC](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/zia-services/help/identity-scanner/key-concepts/#e-kyc):

1. Click **Select a Sample Image** or **Browse Files** in the _User's Photo ID Card_ window in the _E-KYC_ section to upload the ID proof.
 ![catalyst_id_ekyc_1](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/help/identity-scanner/catalyst_id_ekyc_1.webp)

2. Select a sample image ID proof that Catalyst provides, or select a file from your system.
 ![catalyst_id_ekyc_2](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/help/identity-scanner/catalyst_id_ekyc_2.webp)

3. Click **Select a Sample Image** or **Browse Files** in the _User's Photo_ window to upload a photograph to compare the photo in the ID proof with.
4. Again, select a sample image that Catalyst provides, or select a file from your system.
 ![catalyst_id_ekyc_3](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/help/identity-scanner/catalyst_id_ekyc_3.webp)

Identity Scanner will now compare the face detected in the ID proof with the photograph to determine if they are the same individual.

The console will display a simplified response of the comparison, along with the confidence score. You can learn about the response in detail from the [E-KYC Response Format section](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/zia-services/help/identity-scanner/key-concepts/#response-format).

![catalyst_id_ekyc_4](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/help/identity-scanner/catalyst_id_ekyc_4.webp)

You can view the default JSON response that is fetched, by clicking **View Response**.

### Access Code Templates for Identity Scanner

As mentioned earlier, the console provides the latest code templates for all five features of Identity Scanner in the Java and Node.js platforms. You can access them from the console below the test windows in each section.

> **Note:** Each section in the console contains the code for that feature. That is, if you click the Aadhaar Card tab and scroll down, you will find the Java, Node.js and Python code for the `AADHAAR` model. Similarly, if you click the Passbook tab and scroll down, you will find the code templates for the `PASSBOOK` model. Ensure that you are copying the right code for the feature you require.

Click the **Java SDK**, **NodeJS SDK** or **Python SDK** tab, and copy the code using the copy icon. You can implement this code in your Catalyst application's source code. The code shown below is the Java SDK code for the E-KYC or Facial Comparison feature.

![catalyst_id_ekyc_java_updated](https://catalyst-docs-development.zohostratus.in/images/help/identity-scanner/catalyst_id_ekyc_java_updated.webp)

> **Note:** Refer to the [Java SDK](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/java/v1/zia-services/identity-scanner/facial-comparison), [Node.js](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/nodejs/v2/zia-services/identity-scanner/facial-comparison) and [Python](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/python/v1/zia-services/identity-scanner/facial-comparison) SDK help pages for an explanation of the code templates of each feature.
