LEADTOOLS Document Imaging Suite Developer Toolkit

The LEADTOOLS Document Imaging Suite SDK is a comprehensive collection of LEADTOOLS SDK features designed to build end-to-end document imaging solutions that require OCR, MICR, OMR, ICR, barcode, forms recognition and processing, PDF, HTML5/JavaScript Zero-footprint viewing, conversion, print, capture, archival, annotation, and image viewing functionality. This powerful set of tools utilizes LEAD’s award-winning image processing technology to intelligently identify document features that can be used to recognize and extract data from any type of scanned or faxed form image.

LEADTOOLS Document Imaging Suite includes the LEADTOOLS OCR Module – LEAD Engine, which powers the text and forms recognition capabilities bundled with this product. LEADTOOLS also packages and licenses additional third-party OCR engines, which offer ICR, Arabic language support, and more. Check out the Document Imaging Family for more details on the other LEADTOOLS toolkits and add-on modules for developing your next document imaging application.
