LEADTOOLS provides fast and highly accurate Optical Character Recognition (OCR) SDK technology for .NET (C# & VB), C/C++, WinRT, iOS, OS X, Java, and web. Developers around the world are leveraging the LEADTOOLS SDK to add high-performance OCR and document processing to their applications across all of the platforms in their enterprise, including server, desktop, and mobile devices.

OCR is a very processor intensive process, so native OCR on servers and desktops is expected. But, did you know that LEADTOOLS OCR also runs natively on Windows Phone, Android, and iOS? To test the performance of LEADTOOLS OCR on your our device, we have created several applications and put them in the respective app stores. These apps can OCR images stored on the device or taken with the camera in order to extract text or convert to a text based document format such as PDF or DOC.

This week is shaping up to be very busy and exciting as LEAD is involved with the .NET conference and National Health IT Week. Both events offer an opportunity for LEADTOOLS to be showcased in different tech fields.

Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) is an important part of forms recognition but can be surprisingly complex. On the surface, it looks easy to detect whether a box is filled or unfilled by just counting the pixels. While that may be true for the small area, how do you handle an image with hundreds of checkboxes like a multiple-choice exam sheet or survey?

Intelligent capture can refer to a couple different ways of capturing data from images or documents. In this post, I'll be talking about how you can intelligently capture barcodes from scanned in files. The LEADTOOLS TWAIN SDK and Barcode SDK are libraries that developers can easily use to create applications for scanning in physical documents while capturing and extracting any barcode data found.
