LEADTOOLS Forms Recognition and Processing technology provides unmatched document analysis
and data extraction capabilities for .NET (C# & VB, Core, Xamarin, UWP) developers. LEADTOOLS
incorporates a comprehensive collection of state-of-the-art features—scanning, image
cleanup, OCR, OMR, ICR, barcode, and more—to automate the entire document image life
cycle and yield unprecedented savings in time and resources. Moreover, LEADTOOLS has developed
a fast, world-class forms recognition and processing algorithm capable of handling
millions of pages per day.
Forms come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and uses, and LEADTOOLS has the tools to handle
them all. In addition to basic forms recognition with static field locations, LEADTOOLS
is able to detect and process unstructured and semi-structured documents such as invoices,
driver's licenses, and passports.

Supported Development Platforms for Forms Recognition and Processing
Countless companies rely on paper forms for gathering information from customers, patients, students, and the like. Automated forms recognition can be used on anything from a simple postcard to complex, multi-page tax forms to save time and money by increasing accuracy and reducing man-hours. However, large enterprises such as financial institutions, government agencies, and hospitals often deal with huge numbers of forms on a daily basis, causing unique problems which can be successfully and efficiently handled with good planning, form design, and the right software. By implementing a combination of multithreading, cloud computing, barcodes, and two-phase categorized recognition, a forms recognition and processing application built with LEADTOOLS can handle any large-scale scenario you can throw at it.
Forms recognition and processing is used all over the world to tackle a wide variety of tasks including classification, document archival, optical character recognition, and optical mark recognition. Out of those general categories, OMR is an oft misunderstood and underused feature in document imaging due to the time consuming nature of setting up OMR based forms and the difficulty of accurately detecting which OMR fields are filled on a scanned document. This white paper will discuss how to alleviate both of these common problems by developing an OMR forms recognition application with LEADTOOLS.
Document imaging is certainly saving trees and physical storage space, but in some situations it fails to save much time or hassle. Opting in to paperless statements or manually scanning paper documents yourself is a great way to archive all of your bills, invoices, financial statements, and the like. However, it still requires a fair amount of time and energy to thoughtfully organize the documents in your digital filing cabinet. Imagine being able to drop all of your scanned documents into a single folder and have all the work of moving and renaming the files in a logical, consistent manner done automatically. LEADTOOLS Forms Recognition and Processing fits the bill perfectly with its high-level, flexible, and powerful imaging libraries.
If you have been involved in the development of a document management application or process, you have probably run across a requirement to add, or interface with, forms recognition. It is also likely you have been frustrated with the accuracy of the results. Forms recognition and processing is a complicated procedure with an infinite number of variables and factors contributing to the accuracy of the extracted fields. However, few variables carry as much weight or significance as form alignment.
When it comes to change, the desire for efficiency is surely at or near the top of the list of reasons. Some processes and industries are harder to change, especially those that have been around for a long time. Court systems in many countries are one of the oldest and most well established processes to ensure all-around fairness, even if it must sacrifice expediency. Thankfully, the legal industry has taken major strides towards adapting to the digital age with the evolution of eDiscovery and document imaging.
Demo Applications that Include Forms Recognition and Processing
In this video, we will explain how to use the LEADTOOLS Master Forms Editor demo to create and edit master form templates and categories, add and edit text and OMR fields, and use forms processing to extract the data from filled forms.
Invoice Recognition and Processing
In this video, we will explore the LEADTOOLS Invoice Recognition and Processing SDK, which was introduced in LEADTOOLS Version 19.
To demonstrate, we will examine and modify a master form template with the LEADTOOLS Master Form Editor demo, then recognize and process a filled form and verify the results. Each demo and its source code is included with the LEADTOOLS evaluation.
