OCR and barcode recognition capabilities have been added to a browser plugin from Dynamsoft that connects to scanners, digital cameras, and capture cards that support the TWAIN standard.
Dynamsoft’ s Dynamic Web TWAIN software is a browser-based document management solution that uses one common interface regardless of the platform or browser being used.
The plug-in that can be used directly through browsers including IE, Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Opera. It can make use of all. Loaded images can be edited and exported into a variety of formats, or saved in databases.
In the latest version 8.0, two new OCR and Barcode Reader add-ons are available for use with the SDK. The OCR SDK provides Optical Character Recognition, which takes a scanned document and recognises characters to extract its text. The document can then be exported in PDF form, which makes the text selectable and searchable.
The barcode add-on allows scanning of one-dimensional and two-dimensional barcodes, which is useful in a wide variety of applications. Both add-ons were built to integrate into Dynamic Web TWAIN.
Aside from the add-ons, Dynamic Web TWAIN 8.0 also includes new functions and properties related to image resolution, DPI, magnetic data, authentication, file dialogs, and more.
