Scanning and OCR / Embarcadero / CodeGear (Tools & Components)

A royalty free OCR Engine for use with GdPicture Imaging SDK Toolkits. GdPicture Tesseract Plugin is a low cost, fast, accurate and royalty free OCR Engine for development of applications using GdPicture Imaging SDK Toollkits. Based on the Google's open source Tesseract OCR, GdPicture Tesseract Plugin brings OCR features to GdPicture Toolkits such as text recognition on specific area of an image and searchable PDF/A (PDF-OCR) creation from scanner, image or existing PDF documents.

Programming High-Speed Document Scanning Software. LEADTOOLS Forms Recognition is a high-level .NET SDK that harnesses the power of LEAD's image processing technology to intelligently identify document components and features that can be used to recognize and classify scanned documents. The LEADOOLS Forms Recognition toolkit can be used to process a list of images, return unique XML data that describes them, and then store and use that data set as a standard for recognizing future digital images. This approach is especially powerful when combined with LEADTOOLS scanning, deskew, document image clean up, OCR, ICR, OMR, MICR, redaction, and annotation functionalities for automating end-to-end (capture-to-data-processing) document handling workflows.

Convert handwritten text and numbers into machine readable strings and documents. LEADTOOLS ICR Module can convert handwritten reports into PDF (requires LEADTOOLS PDF OCR Module) or Word Doc files. It can be used in the same fashion and mixed on the same image as the OCR module (set as a recognition module to ICR as a zone option). The LEADTOOLS ICR Module supports hand written text in nearly 100 languages including 15 with dictionary support. The ICR features are included as an add-on module to extend the functionality of the LEADTOOLS Document Imaging SDK and the LEADTOOLS OCR Module by exposing the properties, methods, and events for two ICR modules to your applications.

Add OCR technology to your applications quickly and easily. LEADTOOLS OCR Module includes preset confidence and accuracy levels, artificial intelligence and built-in and user-defined lexicons for limiting the type of text to recognize within a particular zone. You can verify or correct text during and after recognition. LEADTOOLS can help with your OCR development and cut your programming time in half. With the LEADTOOLS OCR Module a developer can add many zoned areas to the same page and each zone can have its own options such as the OCR engine, filter and more.

Optical mark recognition for scanned documents. LEADTOOLS OMR Module is used for recognizing optical marks (checkmarks). Typical applications include the processing of questionnaires, ballots, educational tests and reporting and ordering sheets where the documents to be processed are form-like and filled in by hand by respondents. The frame for the mark can be rectangular, hexagonal, circular or elliptical and can be filled in by any method (x, tick, hatching, horizontal or vertical lines, etc.). The frame may be visible or invisible (scanner dropout) in the image sent for recognition. Requires either LEADTOOLS Document Imaging SDK, LEADTOOLS Medical Imaging SDK or the LEADTOOLS OCR Module.

Lightweight scanning control. Atalasoft DotTwain is a 100% managed .NET Windows Forms component that allows fast capturing of digital images from scanners, cameras and other devices supporting TWAIN. It utilizes the improvements of the TWAIN 1.9 specifications for ultra fast scanning. It works with .NET Bitmap objects and has no dependencies other than the .NET Framework. This is intended for a small footprint no-touch deployment over the Web or if you need scanning abilities without Atalasoft DotImage.

Add OCR capabilities to your DotImage applications. Atalasoft DotImage OCR is an optical character recognition module for Microsoft .NET developers giving programmers the capability to add character recognition to their applications.  Atalasoft's approach to OCR is to provide an object oriented generic interface that can support any OCR engine.  This enables users of DotImage OCR to change OCR engines with a single line of code.  It's also convenient for testing and evaluating various OCR engines.  Atalasoft currently provides three OCR engine interfaces. Their own GlyphReader engine as well as Abbyy, and the royalty-free Tesseract engines.

Aquire images from your TWAIN devices. Dynamic TWAIN is an ActiveX/.NET control which enables you to acquire images from any TWAIN compatible devices. With the carefully designed interface, and the built-in wizard mode, Dynamic TWAIN is very easy to use. You can typically do your TWAIN job in several lines of code. At the same time, Dynamic TWAIN is very powerful. It is compatible with TWAIN specification V1.9. It has built-in JPEG encoder and decoder.

Build professional document imaging into your applications. LEADTOOLS Document Imaging includes API, C++ Class Libraries and .NET Class Libraries for Win32 and x64 with features that include comprehensive annotations (Text, highlights, sticky notes, stamps, and more), specialized bitonal image display and processing such as scale-to-gray and favor-black. Also features performance and memory optimizations for bitonal images, document image clean-up including hole-punch, line and staple removal and scanning with TWAIN or ISIS. Now includes JBIG2, ABIC, JPEG2000 and LEAD CMW.

Display, create, acquire, edit and print images and PDF. GdPicture Pro Imaging SDK is a document imaging toolkit delivered as ActiveX component to display, create, acquire, edit and print images and PDF. GdPicture Pro Imaging SDK supports more than 45 vector and bitmap image formats such as multipage TIFF, GIF, JPEG, PNG, JBIG, WMF, WBMP, PDF & PDF/A, PCX and more. Images can be cropped, converted, rotated, combined, colors can be reduced, filters and effects can be applied. Images can also be scanned from TWAIN devices, OCR can be performed to convert image to text or to build searchable PDF documents. OCR Toolkit using the optional GdPicture Tesseract Plugin. GdPicture Pro Imaging SDK can be used on any 32-bit and 64-bit Windows development environment that support ActiveX / COM components, including Visual Basic 6, VBA, Visual C++, Delphi, Visual FoxPro, PHP, ASP, Access, Windev, PowerBuilder, PowerBasic and many others. Please, note that OCR, barcode recognition and Datamatrix Barcode recognition require the additional purchase of GdPicture Tesseract Plugin, GdPicture 1D Barcode Recognition Plugin and GdPicture DataMatrix Barcode Recognition Plugin.
