December 01, 2016

New mobile SDK with ABBYY OCR enables developers to create mobile apps that leverage text recognition directly on a smartphone camera preview screen.

ABBYY®, a leading provider of technologies and solutions to action information, today announced the release of the ABBYY Real-Time Recognition SDK , a software development kit enabling developers to create iOS and Android apps that eliminate photo taking and saving to capture information. The SDK is powered by ABBYY’s best-in-class optical character recognition (OCR) technology.
