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.

We take great pride in the fact that LEADTOOLS is truly a comprehensive imaging SDK. We developed LEADTOOLS with the mindset that we want it to be a one-stop-shop for imaging. There are many applications, especially in the document imaging world, where technologies intersect and you may find the need to piecemeal multiple SDKs together. For example, Scanning + Document Cleanup + OCR, OMR + Forms Recognition + OCR, or OCR + PDF. How about something a little less common, like OCR + Barcode?

This video showcases how you can use the LEADTOOLS .NET Core libraries to build a cross-platform OCR Application. This sample application loads a sample image such as a TIF, performs OCR on the text, and outputs the recognized words into a PDF document.

Earlier this week, we wrote about our latest white paper and CodeProject article on the LEADTOOLS Document Converter and Document Viewer. If you haven't already, it's worth a read to see just how easy it is to create an amazing document viewing solution for .NET and HTML5 / JavaScript.

If you simply can't wait another second to get your hands on this technology, you should try our live online Document Viewer demo! This HTML5 Zero-footprint application shows off all the amazing features of this new viewer framework including:

There are many reasons why you might want to convert to or from a PDF document. Perhaps you need to make a PDF editable or text searchable. Or maybe you would prefer a PDF to be a DOC or DOCX file, but you don't want to copy/paste the text or lose the original formatting. You might even need to batch convert a ton of PDFs in the same way. Good news! The LEADTOOLS Document Converter SDK is an easy to integrate tool able to handle all of your document and image conversion needs.
