LEAD Technologies is pleased to announce the release of LEADTOOLS
Version 18. This bountiful new release is highlighted by
new LEADTOOLS Anywhere™ native libraries for WinRT,
iOS,
OS
X, Android
and Linux,
along with major updates to LEADTOOLS Document, Medical and Multimedia
technology for Win32/64, .NET and HTML5.
LEADTOOLS Anywhere™ extends LEAD Technologies' award winning
LEADTOOLS Imaging SDKs to every major development platform. This
initiative began last year with the release of SDKs for HTML5 and WinRT.
The HTML5
SDKs made it possible to develop zero footprint web
applications and WinRT laid the necessary foundation for porting
LEADTOOLS to other native platforms. With LEADTOOLS 18,
LEAD has further expanded the reach of its Imaging SDKs by offering
native libraries for iOS, OS X, Android and Linux development. All
core LEADTOOLS imaging technology is natively supported in each of these
platforms, including viewing, annotation and markup, OCR, OMR, forms
processing, 1D and 2D barcode, PDF, DICOM and support for over 150 file
formats and 200 image processing functions.
"Over the past twenty-two years, LEAD has worked diligently to
develop the best imaging SDKs available on the market," said Moe Daher,
Chairman and CEO of LEAD Technologies. "Before the
introduction of LEADTOOLS
Anywhere™ our tools were available to programmers
developing applications running on Windows operating systems. We
are honored by the trust given to our product by the tens of thousands
of Windows developers who have incorporated our technology into
countless applications being distributed and used throughout the world.
We are pleased that LEADTOOLS will now be available to programmers
developing applications for any and all major operating systems, and
look forward to earning the trust of many new developer customers using
these exciting new platforms."
In addition to porting its core imaging technology to new
platforms, LEAD has made significant enhancements to its existing
Document, Medical and Multimedia engines. LEAD has also
streamlined its product line by merging various products into one
another. Consequently, the base products now have more
features than ever, and the effective cost of development seats has been
significantly reduced. Better yet, LEAD is including the
multiple platform support in its base SDKs at no additional development
seat cost. This way, existing customers can enjoy all the
benefits of the new features and cross platform support simply by
upgrading their development seat.
Major enhancements to Document family in version 18 include
dramatic improvements to the speed and accuracy of the Advantage
OCR engine. The combination of features
contained in this new version, including multi-language support,
automatic language detection and specialized image preprocessing for
mobile devices, is not found in any other OCR
SDK on the market. The Barcode engines
benefitted from improved recognition speed and accuracy, and the PDF
Readers and Writers were enhanced with the addition of full support for
reading, editing and writing native PDF annotations.
Customers developing medical imaging applications are well aware
of the importance of zero footprint deployment to the healthcare
industry. The LEADTOOLS HTML5
Medical Viewer in Version 18 continues to close the
feature gap between web and desktop applications. New
features such as patient projection, reference lines, drag and drop
capability, and customizable layouts allow healthcare professionals to
enjoy state–of-the-art viewing and processing capabilities regardless of
their location and device.
The Multimedia family of products offers significant new and
valuable technology in Version 18 as well. In the same way
that LEADTOOLS simplified and abstracted DirectShow application
development, LEADTOOLS Multimedia SDKs now offer the same benefits for
the new Microsoft
Media Foundation framework with new components and
transforms. Additionally, a new RTSP
Server is available, opening up innovative audio and
video streaming application opportunities.
Overall, LEADTOOLS Version 18 is the most ambitious release from
LEAD Technologies to date. With the new LEADTOOLS Anywhere™
libraries and a continually evolving collection of imaging technology,
the stage is set for LEAD's continued dominance over the imaging SDK
market for years to come.
