Known worldwide as the No.1 imaging and OCR toolkit, the OmniPage Capture SDK for Windows provides everything you need to add robust imaging, recognition and PDF capabilities to your applications. In addition to unmatched accuracy with numerous speed-trade-off options, OmniPage Capture SDK 16 offers support for the .NET environment, Workflow controls, and Logical Form Recognition technologies that help streamline your development and provide added value to your product.

Used by nearly 100% of commercial vendors implementing imaging into their applications, the OmniPage Capture SDK offers scalable voting recognition engines, expanded PDF support, and a simple API that lets you create a high value, competitive product while maximizing productivity and ensuring the greatest return on your investment.

The OmniPage Capture SDK provides unmatched flexibility by offering highly accurate machine print OCR (OCR, OCR-A, OCR-B and MICR), Handprint (ICR), Check Mark (OMR) and Barcode (1D and 2D) recognition engines. An advanced scalable voting interface and significant throughput management capabilities deliver the most accurate results possible.

The OmniPage Capture SDK also provides pre-made user interfaces for creating and executing workflows, controlling scanning devices, performing advanced image enhancement, and handling document processing capabilities. There is also support for a wide range of input/output filters, including PDF, Microsoft® Office 2007, XML and Open eBook standards.

The OmniPage Capture SDK is also the only OCR SDK that includes Text-To-Speech technologies. It enables applications to turn paper and digital documents into human-sounding audio files. Not only is this an important way to provide document support for disabled users, it allows everyone to save documents to files that can be played on personal computers and mobile devices, including Apple iPod.

These advanced features, along with breakthrough PDF capabilities that achieves 100% word accuracy in converting text based PDF documents, allows software developers to significantly reduce the cost of development and speed time-to-market, making the OmniPage Capture SDK the most powerful and complete imaging SDK in the world.
