ACCUSOFT UNVEILS IMAGEGEAR999 IMAGING TOOLKIT.AccuSoft Corporation, Westborough, Mass., has released ImageGear99, a new version of its award-winning imaging toolkit. ImageGear99 offers features long-awaited by developers and document imaging engineers: OCR OCR in full optical character recognition Scanning and comparison technique intended to identify printed text or numerical data. It avoids the need to retype already printed material for data entry. , ISIS, Barcodes, support for CAD formats and an additional 30 raster formats. Implemented as ready-to-use plug-ins, developers can purchase additional power for their toolkit on an "on-demand" or as needed basis. ImageGear99 plug-ins expand AccuSoft's highly successful line of ImageGear extensions - DICOM (medical, standard) DICOM - (From Digital Imaging and COmmunications in Medicine) A standard developed by ACR-NEMA (American College of Radiology - National Electrical Manufacturer's Association) for communications between medical imaging devices. , ART (AccuSoft advanced annotation support), FlashPix, automatic image correction ImageClean, and ABIC ABIC Agricultural Biotechnology International Conference ABIC American Business Information Center (US Embassies) ABIC Army Business Initiative Council ABIC Army Battlefield Interface Concept . The ImageGear OCR Plug-in is based on Xerox 's Textbridge OCR (Optical Character Recognition optical character recognition (OCR), method for the machine-reading of typeset, typed, and, in some cases, hand-printed letters, numbers, and symbols using optical sensing and a computer. ) technology and comes with a complete API for DLL (1) See data link layer. (2) (Dynamic Link Library) An executable program module in Windows that performs one or more functions at runtime. DLLs are not launched by the user; they are called for by an executable program or by other DLLs. and ActiveX. This module allows users to add optical text recognition to their applications and increase their marketability in the fast growing sector of document imaging. Languages supported include English, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Swedish. The ImageGear ISIS Plug-in supports the acquisition of image data from ISIS (Image and Scanner Interface Specification) compliant scanners. Scanning operations include select scanner, programmable scanning properties, built-in graphic user interface See GUI. for setting properties, compression mode setting, scan ahead setting, single or multiple image processing, and more. The ability to read barcodes is another valuable asset developers gain with the ImageGear Barcode Plug-in. This extension allows reading 1D and 2D barcodes possible at any angle and any location. Extending ImageGear's value beyond raster imaging, is the CAD plug-in. Using this extension, support for the 10 most popular CAD formats: DWG, DXF, DGN, HPGL (Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language) A vector graphics file format from HP that was developed as a standard plotter language. Most plotters support the HPGL and DMPL standards. , HPGL/2, ME10, DRW, RIS RIS rabies inhibiting substance. , PICT and CGM can easily be added to any application. ImageGear's Raster Plus Plug-in adds the 30 extra raster formats that makes AccuSoft's ImageGear the first toolkit in imaging history to fully support over 100 image formats, this is more than double the number of formats any other toolkit vendor offers.
