Getting Started

Just getting started using LEADTOOLS? This collection of tutorials will help walk you through adding references, setting your license, loading and saving images, and everything you need to know to quickly start programming with LEADTOOLS!

OCR/ICR

Whether you want to convert an image to a string, extract values from fields on a form, business cards, invoices, and identification documents such as passports the LEADTOOLS OCR APIs give you the power to make it happen.

Barcode

Reduce the bottleneck issues in high-speed scanning applications by utilizing the fastest barcode recognition speed. In addition, the libraries maximize the benefits of today's high-speed processors by automatically taking advantage of multiple threads and cores.

PDF

With just a few lines of code, LEADTOOLS libraries empower developers with a comprehensive PDF API to implement reliable and multi-threaded PDF functionality, without the need for third-party dependencies like Acrobat.

Image Processing

Over the past 31 years thousands of customers with millions of end-users have used LEADTOOLS, so we have seen it all. The LEADTOOLS Image Processing libraries have been tested against millions of real-world images and are honed to be the fastest, most robust, and most accurate functions available.

DICOM

The LEADTOOLS DICOM libraries are indispensable for programmers working on applications for medical and other life sciences industries. Following the latest DICOM specification, the DICOM APIs support all IODs with or without optional modules and elements.

PACS

Implement DICOM Communications to query, retrieve, and store DICOM data sets and pixel data between PACS clients and servers. LEADTOOLS provides easy to use, low and high-level components to rapidly develop your PACS solution.

Medical Viewer

LEADTOOLS includes several Medical Viewers to display DICOM data sets and pixel data. Each viewer includes advanced medical-specific features such as multi-cell and sub-cell layouts, 16-bit extended grayscale, window leveling, image stack, metadata tags, annotations and markup, reference lines, and cine.

Video/Audio

LEADTOOLS Multimedia SDK products are specifically designed for the development of audio/video applications across a wide variety of industries, including defense, broadcast, and security. The SDKs offers a full range of libraries to developers and turns normally complex DirectShow and Media Foundation projects into simple tasks.

Forms Processing

Forms come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and uses, and LEADTOOLS has the AI-enhanced tools to handle them all. In addition to basic forms recognition with static field locations, LEADTOOLS libraries are able to detect and process unstructured and loosely structured documents such as invoices, business cards, and passports.

Document Viewer

Developers can create robust, full-featured applications with rich document-viewing features, including text search, annotation, memory-efficient paging, inertial scrolling, and vector display. With only a few lines of code, the LEADTOOLS Document Viewer can be added to any project.

Document Converter

Under the hood, the Document Converter uses artificial intelligence to intelligently select a combination of the LEADTOOLS Raster, SVG, OCR, and Document Writers technologies to convert images and documents using the best possible blend of accuracy and speed.

Document Compare

Developers can add full-featured Document Comparison technology to their application so that end-users can find and see all text insertions, deletions, and edits in two images or text-searchable documents.

Document Analyzer

The Document Analyzer automatically finds key phrases within structured and unstructured documents, even if the layouts between files are completely different. Additionally, the component performs deep analysis to further improve detection ensuring that all data of interest is found.

Virtual Printer

LEADTOOLS Virtual Printer Driver can capture output from any application, including Word, Excel, and web browsers, it is a gateway for your legacy applications to access the power of the LEADTOOLS libraries and modern work flows.

Image Viewer

Developers using LEADTOOLS are armed to conquer any display challenge with comprehensive image display controls for desktop, web, tablet, and phone platforms. LEADTOOLS viewers include core features such as high-level user-interactive modes, thumbnail display, and touchscreen input.

Office Formats

Developers can trust the award-winning file format support in LEADTOOLS because of its extensive inclusion and strict adherence to today's ever-changing file format specifications, while still being able to load files that may not be perfectly following the standard.

Annotations

Enhance user experience, productivity, and security using LEAD’s robust annotation libraries with APIs and UI controls to add full-color annotation and markup objects to bitonal, grayscale, and color images and documents. LEADTOOLS also supports specialized document and medical annotations for industry standard formats, including PDF and DICOM.

Scanning

With a full range of image and data capture components, programmers using LEADTOOLS are able to scan documents from TWAIN scanners, SANE backends, capture images from WIA-enabled devices, implement screen capture, record audio and video, extract text data from forms, capture from mobile devices, and much more.
