ImageGear For .NET Updated By Accusoft Pegasus To Include OCR

Accusoft Pegasus, the leading provider of imaging software development kits (SDKs), recently announces updates to the ImageGear for .NET v17 SDK. This release includes a comprehensive OCR (optical character recognition of machine-printed text) solution for .NET software development, and annotation support for ASP.NET development efforts. Support for Visual Studio 2010 (VS 2010) is also included.

Accusoft Pegasus now licenses OCR support within ImageGear. A license for OCR includes character recognition in over 100 languages. It provides an auto-zoning feature that analyzes the structure of a page and automatically segments the image into zones. This powerful auto-zoning feature helps improve accuracy by automatically removing unrecognizable image content, and helps maintain table structure when processing documents. Zone-based recognition is also enabled so that software developers may perform different recognition processes on several areas of one document. This allows for spell-checking, dictionaries, or filters to be applied to the applicable sections of an image.

Also in this release, ImageGear introduces annotation support for ASP.NET development. This includes mark-ups such as rectangle, ellipse, line, text, and more. Users can interactively edit annotations within a zero footprint viewer.
