2017 is already shaping up to be a great year as LEADTOOLS has a lot of exciting features and enhancements to share. Today we're going to introduce to you some of the upcoming updates to LEADTOOLS V19 Document and Medical technologies that will continue to keep LEADTOOLS as the most comprehensive SDK in the market. These updates will include a market-first DICOM Hanging Protocol implementation as well as the fastest Form Recognition and Processing engine in the world! Additionally, the upcoming update includes new features for the HTML5 Zero-footprint Medical Web Viewer, DICOM Storage Server, Recognition Engines, Document Viewer, Document Formats, Linux, and Credit Card Reader.

HTML5 is certainly the way of the future, but as many web developers know, adoption can be slow. In many cases, older browsers such as IE8 is still in use enterprise-wide and a lightweight, feature packed solution is still required. LEADTOOLS pioneered lightweight ASP.NET Web Forms imaging years ago and is still a popular choice. Though not as flashy and responsive as HTML5, the heavy-lifting jobs such as Optical Character Recognition (OCR) are still done on the server side.

In the following example, you'll see how to add OCR functionality and image display into your ASP.NET Web Forms application.
