Scanning and OCR / DLL (Dynamic Link Libraries)

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.

Add TWAIN scanning to your desktop .NET applications. Dynamic .NET TWAIN is a dedicated TWAIN component for .NET-based desktop scanning applications. It is a managed code component that enables you to acquire images from any TWAIN compatible devices. With the carefully designed interface and the built-in wizard mode, Dynamic .NET TWAIN is very easy to use. You can typically do your TWAIN job in several lines of code. Dynamic .NET TWAIN is compatible with TWAIN Specification. It supports all three image transfer modes as well as many other features. With Dynamic .NET TWAIN SDK, you can control any scanner, digital camera or capture card if it has a TWAIN driver. High-level acquisition support is provided for ease of use, and low-level functionality is provided for flexibility and control in even the most demanding applications.

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.

Integrate TWAIN image capture with your Web applications. Dynamic Web TWAIN has many features specifically designed for your Web environment, such as upload and download images through FTP or HTTP protocol. Images can be displayed within Dynamic Web TWAIN directly, without exchanging image data between the ActiveX control and the img HTML tag, and the initial image can be downloaded from a Web server.

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.

The LEADTOOLS Document Imaging Suite SDK is a collection of LEADTOOLS SDK features designed to build end-to-end document imaging applications within enterprise level document automation solutions that requires capture, form recognition and processing, archival, annotation and display functionality. This powerful set of tools utilizes LEAD's image processing technology to intelligently identify document features that can be used to recognize any type of scanned or faxed form image.
