ABBYY Mobile OCR Engine

ABBYY Mobile OCR Engine version 4.5 new features:

• Hyphenation in text is detected and the original words can be restored. If the engine encounters a hyphenated word like ‘Hyphe-‘ on one line and ‘nation’ on the next line, it will concatenate them into ‘Hyphenation’.
• Android wrapper. A JNI wrapper is included in the Android version of the Mobile OCR Engine. Developers will be able to call engine functions directly, without creating their own interface.
• Polish and Estonian languages are now supported for business card recognition. 

ABBYY Mobile OCR Engine version 4.3 new features:

• First and Last Name are detected as separate fields. If a name contains more than 2 words, the last word is assumed to be the Last Name, and the others are included in First Name field.
• Addresses, postal code (ZIP code), city, and state are detected as separate fields.  

ABBYY Mobile OCR Engine version 4.0 new features:

• Support of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean OCR. The SDK now supports 62 recognition languages, including both European and Asian languages both in the OCR and in the BCR modules.
• Additional image pre-processing automatically detects the orientation of a page to be recognized (if it is positioned sideways or upside down),
• Confidence level indicator shows the level of certainty for recognized text, allowing developers to set flexible criteria when implementing proofreading and verification functions.
