In its nearly 25 year history, the number of customers and people that have used LEADTOOLS is near impossible to count. Sometimes our product makes a profound impact on a customer and they want the world to know. Our latest customer success story comes from Power Class 360, a non-profit organization dedicated to education.

As a non-profit organization looking to help shape our country's young ones for the better, we got behind their cause and donated a copy of our LEADTOOLS Document Imaging SDK. With LEADTOOLS, Power Class 360 was able to successfully modernize the classroom with a digital transparency and document management system complete with Annotations, HTML5 and more.

This month's white paper is an extremely practical one. In fact, we even had a few conversations with customers at last week's HIMSS conference about this very subject. Document archival has been around for quite a while now, but as archives grow and systems become more spread out and the client device ecosystem is much more diverse, standardizing your document archival system is becoming critical.

If you have need for end-to-end PDF and PDF/A functionality including OCR, Virtual Printing, HTML5 viewing and more, you will benefit greatly from our March white paper!

A few weeks ago we announced a new MICR demo for iOS and OS X. Today we're happy to announce that the same app has been ported to Android and is now available on Google Play! MICR is useful in decoding the special fonts used on checks, making it an invaluable resource for any developer writing software for the financial sector.

As a reminder, LEADTOOLS has many additional demos available for iOS, Android, WinRT and Windows Phone including features such as OCR, Barcode, DICOM and more. If you are a mobile application developer, you can see first-hand how LEADTOOLS works on your devices. As an additional benefit, they serve as a living example of how using LEADTOOLS will have positive effects during the approval process for your app's respective stores.

Our latest white paper contains a wealth of information on selecting the right barcode for your application. There are an abundance of barcode types and sub-types, so choosing correctly from the outset can have a profound impact on your application's entire development life cycle. Common problems could be using a barcode that doesn't hold enough information, is too rigid for evolutions in your application, takes up too much physical space, fails to read when damaged, and so on.

After an introduction into different types of barcodes and their uses, this white paper then helps navigate implementing them into your application. Not all barcode SDKs are created equal, and we dive into the many advantages — both for the developer and eventual end-user — of trusting LEADTOOLS in your application. We hope you enjoy the read!

MICR is useful in decoding the special fonts used on checks, making it an invaluable resource for any developer writing software for the financial sector.
