Posted on 2020-01-27 by Nick Villalobos

Employee onboarding is the process of getting a new hire set up within your company’s system and ready to go. This usually comes with loads of paperwork for the HR department to fill out, or even type in. I can almost guarantee you that there isn’t an HR rep that enjoys inputting all of this data. What could be tedious, error-prone data entry can be done in a matter of seconds with perfect accuracy when using the LEADTOOLS Barcode SDK and the AAMVAID class.

Posted on 2020-01-14 by Nick Villalobos
forms

Happy New Year, and what better way to start off the 2020 year than with 20/20 computer vision. Companies receive paper forms for gathering client’s information every day.

There’s no need to waste time entering different names and numbers when a computer can do it all for you within seconds.

Save Screenshots as Searchable PDFs using LEADTOOLS OCR

Posted on 2019-12-04 by Nick Villalobos
