EZTwain Pro 4.0 - OCR / ICR Resources

Overview  Download  Licensing  Features  Code Wizard  Stories  User GuidePDF file

No current Dosadi product provides built-in OCR i.e. of reading the text in a scanned image. However EZTwain Pro (3.20 or later) can interoperate with the Transym TOCR product. When combined with the TOCR software, EZTwain Pro provides a convenient OCR SDK with strong scanning features - hiding the complex TOCR interface and making it accessible from a wide variety of programming languages.

Below is a list of OCR engines packaged for developers.
