With LEADTOOLS, you are able to easily scan images and documents within a web application from any scanner, digital camera, or TWAIN or SANE-enabled device.

The video below shows step-by-step how to scan and display images within our HTML5/JavaScript Zero-footprint Viewer.

Today we would like to introduce you to our first coding session with Developer Support Agent, Matt. He will be guiding you through a three part mini-series about the LEADTOOLS Xamarin Camera control and the Barcode SDK. At the end of this series, you will have developed a live capture barcode recognition application.

We hope you caught yesterday's first coding session with our Developer Support Agent Matt. Here is the second part of his three part mini-series about the LEADTOOLS Xamarin Camera control and the Barcode SDK. At the end of this series, you will have developed a live capture barcode recognition application.

We hope you caught yesterday's second coding session with our Developer Support Agent Matt. Here is the final part of his three-part-mini-series about the LEADTOOLS Xamarin Camera control and the Barcode SDK. At the end of this video, you will have developed a live capture barcode recognition application to read all of LEADTOOLS supported barcodes.

The two most commonly used video compressions are AVC (H.264) and HEVC (H.265). The majority of HD broadcasting, video sharing, mobile streaming, and digital surveillance use either an H.264 or H.265 video compressor. We all remember saving videos to our PCs and how much disk space they would take up as well as how long they would take to upload for sharing. Converting those videos with the LEADTOOLS H.264/AVC compressor will decrease the file size by roughly 30% and converting with the LEADTOOLS H.265/HEVC compressor drops the file size by nearly 60%. You may be thinking, "Well, it's been saved at a lower bit rate, so the quality must have dropped". That is not the case though. These compressors will maintain the same visual quality as the original, so there is no need to worry. With everything being recorded at much higher resolutions - 2k and 4k - these days, the H.265 compressor is a better solution than H.264. Many of the online streaming sites have encoded their videos with H.265/HEVC compressors, which helps to greatly reduce lagging and dreaded "buffering" message.
