The LEADTOOLS Imaging SDK for iOS, macOS, and Android had a significant update recently! Across the board, the OCR engine has been made 3-6x faster and the demo UI was given a significant redesign. In addition, each platform has its own set of platform-specific updates.

Android

• Barcode demo code was rewritten, resulting in a much faster implementation
• Added support for android.hardware.camera2, which means live capture support for all modern devices

Apple

• ALL libraries are now dynamic
• Updated interface for better Swift compatibility

If you want to try the latest version, you can download from here. Additionally, we have various sample applications on the App Store and Google Play available as well.

LEADTOOLS Anywhere™ is getting pretty popular and keeping our sales and support staff busy. LEAD Technologies is a common sight around the world at various tradeshows and conferences. With our new cross-platform libraries we can now be a part of even more, and next week will mark the first time ever that LEAD will be an exhibitor at an Android specific conference!

At the end of each exhibit day, LEAD Technologies will be giving away five $25 Google Play gift cards to use on new apps and games for your Android device! Stop by our booth, let us scan your badge, and come back at the end of the day to see if your name gets chosen!

The next two opportunities to meet with LEAD Technologies in person are coming up soon. This November we will be exhibiting at two shows: The Android Developer Conference and Visual Studio Live! As usual, we will have some great presentations on hand, showing off the latest and greatest imaging SDK technologies within LEADTOOLS, as well as some giveaways for stopping by.
