With the LEADTOOLS Document Imaging Suite, developers get Xerox TextBridge enabled Optical Character Recognition capabilities added to all of the features that make LEADTOOLS Document Imaging great. Features include preset confidence and accuracy levels, artificial intelligence, and built-in and user-defined lexicons for limiting the type of text to recognize within a particular zone. LEADTOOLS provides the ability to verify or correct text during, and (using LEAD's unique OCR editor) after recognition. LEAD's OCR editor ties the text being edited directly to the image, providing a visual reference to the original bitmap data. The OCR engine can perform Automatic area segmentation creating multi-layered zones, recognizing areas such as tables, rules, images and text. Or, you can manually designate up to 250 such zones.

Different fonts, sizes (5 to 72 point) and styles are also supported. Fax, dot matrix and halftones can be preprocessed to improve recognition results. The OCR Engine supports major European and Scandinavian languages (Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Swedish) as well as English. Support for dialects such as US. English, French Canadian, Latin American Spanish, Swiss German, and Brazilian Portuguese is also provided. Recognized text can be exported to more than 40 different formats, including MS Word, MS Excel, Dbase and WordPerfect. You get superior OCR processing speeds, for use in form recognition and processing applications. The LEADTOOLS Document Express adds to the OCR features with powerful annotation capabilities, optimized document image processing filters, and high performance decompression and viewing of JPEG, LEAD CMP and CCITT G4 image files.

Additionally, JBIG file format support is included in the Document Imaging Suite. JBIG defines a method for lossless compression encoding of a bi-level image (that is, an image that, like a black-and-white image, has only two colors). This method can also be used for coding grayscale and color images.

Includes four application programmer interfaces: A low level API, a C++ class library, and easy to use ActiveX and VCL controls. LEADTOOLS Document Imaging ships with sample source code for Visual Basic, C/C++, Visual C++ (MFC), C++ Builder, Visual J++, Visual FoxPro, Access, Delphi, and VB and Java script. And support for Visual Studio 6.0 database connectivity (Oracle, SQL, OLE DB, ODBC, and JET).
