LEADTOOLS provides .NET developers with NuGet packages support as an additional means for obtaining the latest LEADTOOLS toolkit binaries. For details on the available selection, refer to the following resources:
LEADTOOLS NuGet Packages - NuGet packages available for download.

Does your application require document recognition or conversion, but its implementation language is preventing you from using LEADTOOLS directly? Consider using the LEADTOOLS Cloud Services Web API instead. It is a high-powered and scalable Web API. Its hassle-free interface can be used to integrate advanced OCR, barcode, MICR, and document conversion into any application.
