FreeForm recognition SDK

4. Compression/Document Creation
OCR/MICR/ICR/BC/
Compression/Document Creation
Comprehensive SDK containing all image pre-processing, recognition,
formatting and compression technologies that I.R.I.S. has to offer
Modular architecture allowing you to select only the modules you need
Multi-platform support – available on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux
Multi-language support – complexity hidden behind an easy-to-use
interface accessible from native C++ or one of the .Net languages (C#, J#
and VB.Net)
Flexible licensing policy – licensing meets your deployment type and size

5. Compression/Document Creation

6. Compression/Document Creation
OCR/MICR/ICR/BC/
Compression/Document Creation
Latest enhancements
Enhanced OCR Kernel – improved recognition rate for low resolution images in colour or greyscale
Enhanced iHQC formatting for low resolution images
Creation of PDF/A iHQC
New output formats XPS & XPS iHQC
New Arabic engine - multifont
.NET API added.

7. Business Card Recognition
Cardiris SDK
SDK for scanning and recognizing business cards
Easy-to-use COM interface – supports VB and .Net languages
Intelligent field extraction – uses a knowledge database to extract all relevant information like first and last name, city, state, telephone number, job title etc
Various export possibilities – extracted information can easily be exported to Outlook, Lotus Notes, Excel, XML, iPod and many more
Support for scanning business cards with the portable IrisCard scanner

8. Fast Document Classification
Fingerprint classification SDK
Powerful classification SDK - uses only graphical features to classify documents in milliseconds
Details and text information are not relevant – Fingerprint can also be used with bad quality OCR documents like faxes
Uses training to create repositories of learned page layouts
Can deal with large amount of stored fingerprints without affecting classification speed
Easy to use COM interface

9. Fast Document Classification
Fingerprint classification SDK
Class A
Fingerprint SDK
Class B
Class C

10. I.R.I.S. IDR Toolkit Intelligent Document Recognition -
Powerful all-in-one recognition and classification SDK
Fits all document types – freeform, invoices, forms etc
Predefined solution packages - only need to load appropriate configuration to create a fully-fledged document processing application
Provides state-of-the-art classification technologies – classify your documents based on graphical layout (Fingerprint) or context analysis
Very easy-to-use – just a few functions independent of the document type
Multi-language support – elegant interface supporting native C and .Net
