AnDevCon has been growing into a very popular exhibition with multiple venues and conferences throughout the year. This is now our third time at the conference and we will be showing our native and cross-platform LEADTOOLS Anywhere™ libraries for Android and more. We have a lot of plans and exciting technologies on deck this year so we hope to meet with many of you there!

With more than a year under its belt, LEADTOOLS Anywhere™ is continuing to push the digital imaging software development kit market forward with its native libraries for iOS, OS X, Android, WinRT, Windows Phone and more. This week we have released a free Annotations and Markup demo app on Google Play and the Windows Store for use on your Apple, Android, WinRT and Windows Phone devices.

• iOS
• OS X
• Android
• WinRT
• Windows Phone

As a reminder, LEADTOOLS has many additional demos available for iOS, Android, WinRT and Windows Phone including features such as OCR, Barcode, DICOM and more. If you are a mobile application developer, you can see first-hand how LEADTOOLS works on your devices. As an additional benefit, they serve as a living example of how using LEADTOOLS will have positive effects during the approval process for your app's respective stores.

If you've been keeping up with us, you are already aware of our recent update to our Android, iOS, and OS X development libraries (if not, go read it!). Shortly after that release, our developers have been rolling out updates to all of our mobile demo apps available on the App Store, Google Play, and Windows Store.

In addition to updating our existing demos, we plan on adding new demos for credit card and passport recognition, so keep a close eye on that page if those features are of particular interest to you. If you can't wait (and we don't blame you), the source code for those demos ships with the main evaluation for each platform.

LEAD Technologies has released a substantial upgrade to its LEADTOOLS version 19 products that touches a wide range of technologies including OCR, document imaging, medical imaging, and PACS. Read our press release for more information on all the features included with this upgrade. As you will see, this release is jam-packed with new features and enhancements. That’s why over the next couple of weeks, we’ll be highlighting specific sets of features from the release here on our blog, so stay tuned!

In the meantime, download your free, fully functional evaluation SDK. Also, as always, this upgrade is available to all LEADTOOLS Document and Medical Imaging customers with a current maintenance plan. Just contact sales@leadtools.com to get the latest download.

Last week, I officially introduced LEADTOOLS Version 18 for the first time and gave a bird's eye view of the changes coming to the product line. Today I'm covering the fun stuff: features!

LEADTOOLS Anywhere

Of course, the marquee update in version 18 is the completion of LEADTOOLS Anywhere. Announced last spring, our executive management put forth a vision and plan to incrementally release cross-platform versions of LEADTOOLS. First came zero footprint HTML5 and JavaScript tools, then native libraries for WinRT (the new Windows 8 platform previously called Metro), and now with version 18 there will be native libraries for iOS, OS X, Android and Linux.
