Product Description:
LEADTOOLS OCR engines extend the functionality of LEADTOOLS SDKs by providing properties, methods, and events for easily incorporating optical character recognition into your applications. Since superior OCR processing speeds are exceptionally useful in form recognition and processing applications, LEAD has designed our OCR engines to support both 32 and 64 bit environments, as well as multithreaded applications. When used in conjunction with LEADTOOLS extensive set of document cleanup and image processing functions (often necessary for scanned and faxed images), OCR results are vastly improved.
Features include 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. The OCR engines can perform automatic area segmentation to create multi-layered zones for recognition of areas such as tables, rules, images and text. Alternatively, you can manually designate up to 250 such zones.
The OCR Engine supports multiple fonts, sizes (5 to 72 point) and styles for all major European and Scandinavian languages (Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Swedish) as well as English and MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition). Support for dialects such as US. English, French Canadian, Latin American Spanish, Swiss German, and Brazilian Portuguese is also provided.
LEADTOOLS provides multiple OCR Engines to meet the needs of every Document Imaging solution. The high level .NET OCR interface allows developers to create applications which support any of the offered OCR engines without having to change recompile or change any code!
Recognized text can be exported to more than 40 different formats, including MS Word, PDF/A, MS Excel, XML, RTF, TEXT, HTML, and more.
Key Features:
Recognize and export text, choosing from a variety of text, word processing, database, or spreadsheet file formats.
Select the language of documents to be recognized. Choose from English, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Asian (Professional Engine Only), or Swedish.
Recognize special characters, such as MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition), including bank routing indicators, check amounts, and customer account numbers.
Segment complex pages manually or automatically into text zones, image zones, table zones, lines, headers and footers.
Set accuracy thresholds prior to recognition to control the accuracy of recognition.
Recognize text from 5 to 72 points in virtually any typeface.
Increase recognition accuracy with built-in lexical classes and user-defined lexicons (dictionaries)
Verify or correct text during the recognition process based on confidence levels set prior to recognition. If a word or character falls within the set range, a dialog box can be brought up to allow the user to see the original image and the preliminary results of the recognition. From the dialog box, the user may make any necessary corrections to the recognized text.
Automatically detect fax, dot matrix, and other degraded documents and compensate accordingly.
Process both text and halftone graphics. The recognition software's ability to distinguish halftone graphics from text can provide the basis of a compound document processing system.
Recognize text and colors within tables.
Export recognized text to more than 40 different formats, including MS Word, PDF/A, MS Excel, XML, RTF, TEXT, HTML, and more..
