Scanning and OCR / Windows Development Tools (Dev Tools & IT Utilities)

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.

Add full-page text recognition, OCR, automatic image rotation and searchable document creation to your application. OCR Xpress delivers fast and accurate full-page optical character recognition (OCR) to software developers in .NET and ActiveX COM toolkits. OCR Xpress also supports deskew, binarization, and segmentation of documents into image and text elements. It supports output to multiple text and text plus image formats including Microsoft Word-compatible RTF files and standard Adobe PDF files.

Text & handprint recognition SDK. SmartZone SDKs make it easy to include character recognition in your application. Just pass it an image clip, and SmartZone returns the characters. It is ideal for processing fields on forms, whether they were typed (OCR) or hand-printed (ICR). Confidence values let you decide when an operator should review the results, and alternate characters help them quickly select the correct result.
