We are pleased to announce the addition of Python support throughout the LEADTOOLS product line! LEADTOOLS is built using proprietary AI and machine learning algorithms to assist application development across all major platforms and programming languages, now including Python.

As a longstanding Microsoft partner and sponsor of the annual Microsoft Build developer event, we at LEAD were thrilled to get back to an in-person Build! We set off to Seattle ready to learn what Microsoft had in store for developers as well as share all that LEADTOOLS has to offer as well.

Over the course of three days, the message from Microsoft was clear: the future is AI. Coincidently, LEAD believes in that future as well and our easy to integrate, AI-powered controls were the perfect fit for the Build audience.

The Microsoft Build event is back May 23-25th and we are thrilled to announce that LEADTOOLS is a Featured Partner again - sponsoring the event both digitally AND in Seattle this year! Build is always the premiere developer conference and a fantastic chance for us to meet and demo LEADTOOLS face-to-face! Join other developers and tech experts (like us!) at Build to hear about all the latest advancements in technology and developer tools.

We're excited to see everyone in New Orleans this week at The AIIM Conference 2023! Our demo session is prepped and we're ready to showcase all things new with LEADTOOLS - including eSignatures, the LEAD Preview Handler, and LEAD QuickShot.

While working on a web application that accepts file uploads as an input, I found myself working pretty extensively with many different MIME types. Also known as Media types, a MIME type is a two part identifier that simply indicates the nature and format of a document, file, or assortment of bytes. While trying to make the web app secure, I started using the MIME type to verify that the file being uploaded was safe and able to be processed.
