• more than 3,000 API calls, objects and parameters
• extensive help file containing over 700 pages
• 100+ essential parameters for opening, pre-processing, analysis, recognition and exporting of a document

Using the predefined processing profiles allows implementing optimized parameters for specific (most common) processing scenarios.

The following processing profiles are available:

• Document/book conversion for archiving (in 2 modes: speed & accuracy)
• Document conversion for content reuse (in 2 modes: speed & accuracy)
• Ground text extraction for fields detection and document classification (in 2 modes: speed & accuracy)
• Field level recognition
• Barcode recognition (in 2 modes: speed & accuracy)
• High Compressed Image Only PDF — for creating high-compressed PDF files which contain entire documents saved as pictures.
• Business Cards Processing — for recognizing business cards
• Machine Readable Zone — Suitable for extracting data from a machine-readable zone (MRZ).
• Engineering Drawings Processing — for recognizing technical drawings, with text arranged in different directions
• Backward compatibility

Simple to use:
