Add zonal OCR functionality to your applications. The SmartZone OCR toolkit offers developers the ability to perform zonal OCR (machine print character recognition) commonly used in forms processing applications. This .NET control internally utilizes two separate recognition techniques to co-verify results and improve accuracy. ImagXpress Standard and ScanFix Xpress Lite are included with SmartZone for image handling, image cleanup, and TWAIN scanning. Standard edition is limited to 20% of the Professional edition’s processing speed.

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)
