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.

Text and Handprint Recognition SDK

SmartZone ICR makes it easy to include the character recognition in your application. Just pass it an image clip, and SmartZone returns the characters. It’s ideal for processing hand-printed fields on forms. Confidence values let you decide when an operator should review the results, and alternate characters help them quickly select the correct result.

SmartZone for .NET includes exclusive new technology that uses regular expressions to improve accuracy even further. When you know the format of the expected data in any field, you can increase overall accuracy by specifying which characters can occupy each position.

SmartZone ICR/OCR provices zonal OCR (optical character recognition of machine-printed text) and zonal ICR (intelligent character recognition of hand-printed characters)
