ABBYY Mobile OCR SDK 2.5

Compact Code OCR for Mobile Devices
ABBYY Mobile OCR SDK is an OS-independent, small code-size OCR development toolkit specially designed for creating OCR solutions running on mobile devices or in "instant OCR" applications. It can be integrated into any mobile application or platform including Windows Mobile, Brew, Symbian, LINUX and others as well as into PC utilities

Using ABBYY Mobile OCR SDK, hardware, software, telecom service, and mobile application providers can add powerful new functionality to their products. ABBYY OCR technology transforms images into manageable text which can be saved or stored, edited, or sent via email or SMS. Applications based on the Mobile OCR SDK will transform notes, business cards, newspaper clippings, menus, and other texts captured via a mobile imaging device into useful data.


ABBYY Mobile OCR SDK can be applied in a variety of applications including:

Camera Phones. Today's phones make it easy to capture information from documents while on the move. With OCR on a mobile phone, photos of business cards can be converted in to text for direct storage into phone books. Clippings from magazines or other documents can be converted and sent via email or SMS.

Personal Digital Assistants (PDA's) or Smartphones with Digital Cameras. ABBYY OCR on a handheld device can be used to capture and process a variety of useful text which can then be "synched" or downloaded to a PC. Users can convert text for easy input into calendars, task lists, or phone books. Images received via email or downloaded from the Internet can now be instantly converted to text directly on the device.

Pen, Portable, and Compact Scanners. OCR can be embedded in a compact business card scanner, small handheld scanner, or pen type scanner for the creation of "all-in-one" hardware/software combination solutions for business card reading or special vertical market applications.

Digital Cameras. The Mobile OCR SDK code can support a variety of digital cameras - not just those included on mobile telephones - enabling capture and conversion of texts while travelling or out of the office.

"Instant OCR" for PC Utilities. With a small footprint, the Mobile OCR SDK is also ideal for creating small utilities requiring high operating speed and minimum memory resources. The SDK can be used for "Instant OCR" applications in which a "point and click" or "pop-up" window dialogue facilitates processing of an image from a Web site, PDF file, or other application. Converted text can be used for desktop search engines, pop-up dictionaries, pop-up training utilities, and anti- spam applications.
