As part of the LEAD Technologies 25th anniversary, we are creating 25 projects in 25 days to celebrate LEAD's depth of features and ease of use. Today's project comes from Faris.

What it Does

This project will perform various image cleanup functions until a barcode is recognized using LEADTOOLS Version 19. To run the project, extract it to the C:\LEADTOOLS 19\Examples\DotNet\CS directory.

Introduction

A wide variety of businesses are embracing technology as a means to enhance the way customers provide their information on the front-end of the customer service process. Upon arrival at the doctor's office, car dealership, gym or even a restaurant, customers might be handed a tablet or directed to a kiosk to check in. This is an exciting change for device manufacturers and software developers, but does it always translate to better customer service?

If the process is difficult or takes too long, customers are likely to get annoyed, or worse, take their business elsewhere. Therefore using technology for technology's sake isn't enough. To get the most out of their investment, business owners can use various imaging technologies to capture customer information to speed up the process and improve customer satisfaction. An ideal solution would capture information from a document or form of ID customers already have on them such as a driver's license. This white paper will explore how programmers can use LEADTOOLS Driver's License Recognition or Barcode Recognition to extract identifying information from driver's licenses.

Receiving a mix of both raster and searchable PDFs can be a pain, especially for those who get these files from clients daily. The LEADTOOLS OCR and PDF SDK makes it easy for developers to check if a file needs to have OCR ran or not.

Following the release of our exciting new Web APIs for LEADTOOLS Cloud Services, I thought we'd take a moment and dive into how these services came about. For this post, I went straight to the lead developer of LEADTOOLS Cloud Services (referred to as LCS below), Hadi Chami, for a quick Q&A.
