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.

The LEADTOOLS Anywhere™ cross platform libraries in LEADTOOLS V18 have been very popular since their release earlier this year. LEAD continues to expand its reach by adding new development platforms and interfaces for Windows Phone 8 and Linux.

Click on the headers below for more a more detailed list of all the features supported by each interface.

LEADTOOLS Version 18, also known as LEADTOOLS Anywhere™, is designed with the purpose of opening new opportunities and easing the development of high quality imaging applications that can run anywhere. Since V18's release earlier this year, we have published several articles on The CodeProject showing the benefits of using LEADTOOLS to create multi-platform, native apps for .NET, WinRT, iOS, OS X and Android.

This month we are continuing that series and have written an article showing the beauty and simplicity of using LEADTOOLS Anywhere™ for barcode recognition. For each platform, it only requires a few simple lines of code to detect and recognize barcodes from still images and video streams. Head on over to The CodeProject, grab the latest evaluation for LEADTOOLS V18 and see for yourself how LEADTOOLS Anywhere™ can increase your mobile app's ROI.

Now that LEADTOOLS Anywhere™ has hit the market, LEAD Technologies is publishing several of its demos as free application utilities for the Windows Store, Google Play and the App Store. Below are the latest free WinRT apps approved for the Windows Store that showcase the award-winning LEADTOOLS technology such as formats, image processing, OCR, Barcode, DICOM and PACS. The source code for each of these demos is available in the main LEADTOOLS evaluation to help get developers started on their LEADTOOLS Anywhere™ projects.

• LEADTOOLS Image Processor
• LEADTOOLS OCR
• LEADTOOLS Barcode
• LEADTOOLS DICOM Viewer
• LEADTOOLS Medical Web Viewer

Publishing our demos to the respective mobile app markets for Windows, Android and Apple is much more than just another way to spread the word about LEADTOOLS Anywhere™. As many developers are aware, the approval processes for these stores are very stringent, especially when your application uses a third party SDK. By taking our demos through these approval processes, LEAD has gone the extra mile to ensure your development experience with LEADTOOLS is hassle-free.
