The world's largest .NET virtual event is finally here! Celebrate with us, Microsoft, and all the other sponsors on November 14th through the 16th as we celebrate the 13th annual .NET Conf! Of course, this year the big highlight is the release of .NET 8. Join the .NET team on all the new things you can do with the latest release.

As part of LEAD's continued efforts to provide innovative and valuable development tools to programmers, we are happy to announce an update to LEADTOOLS v22 that includes support for Speech Recognition. LEADTOOLS Recognition SDK Technology is trusted by tens of thousands of developers worldwide to deliver powerful, end-to-end recognition features to help build better applications.

Leveraging the technology in LEAD’s Document Analyzer SDK, the LEADTOOLS ID Reader intelligently extracts data from live streams and photos of ID cards and driver’s licenses without requiring a predefined layout. The state-of-the-art recognition algorithms within the ID Reader recognize IDs from any country, state, or agency.

With the LEADTOOLS Document Service, you can choose how you want to manage and store cached documents. We have new samples for implementing cloud solutions for your Document Service’s caching capabilities, allowing you to utilize Azure or AWS for your cache.
