Improve character recognition with our powerful ICR and OCR SDK.

SmartZone’s advanced zonal character recognition technology allows you to capture typed (OCR) or handwritten (ICR) data from specified fields in a document image or support full page OCR in your application. Optimize recognition with data matching/lookup, regular expressions, and custom character sets, and set confidence values to control when operators should review results. Our full-featured trial includes samples in C# to help you get started.

Benefits of Integrating SmartZone

Capture text from any area of a document by establishing zones with expected character sets and regular expressions.

Key Features

Optical Character Recognition (OCR)

Read and capture machine-printed text using a library of predefined character sets that includes uppercase/lowercase letters, digits, currency, and punctuation.

Intelligent Character Recognition (ICR)

Identify handwritten characters to extract text to databases and other applications, or use in the next step of your workflow.

Adjustable Confidence Values

Set confidence values for recognition results to determine when manual review is necessary. Confidence values can be returned for individual characters, lines, or complete results.

Extensive OCR Language Support

Support for multiple Western and Eastern languages, including Central European, Cyrillic, Baltic, and Asian languages.

Zonal Field Recognition

Focus recognition engine on predefined form field types (such as name, date, time, email, SSN, phone) to reduce processing speed and improve accuracy.

Full Page Recognition
