ABBYY Real-Time Recognition SDK

Real-Time Recognition SDK enables developers to add instant text capture functionality to mobile apps. Payment data on invoices, personal information on ID cards, codes on lottery items, and text on street signs or warning plates can be immediately captured and used in your mobile app by having the user simply focus the camera at the item of interest.

This ‘point and capture’ approach – text capture directly from the smartphone’s preview screen - offers a completely new user experience!

Faster Text Input

Extracting text directly from the smartphone’s preview screen is significantly faster and more convenient than taking a picture of the text, followed by an OCR processing step or by entering the text manually.

Improved Business Performance

Real-time text capture from documents such as invoices, waybills, sick notes or letters can be quickly implemented into existing corporate apps in banks, transport companies, insurance, and other organizations.

Suitable for High Security Requirements

As the text does not need to be photographed, saved in the memory storage, uploaded to cloud services or external servers, this modern way of information capture is suitable for organizations with the highest data security standards.

Outstanding Recognition Accuracy

We have combined ABBYY’s proven OCR technology with new intelligent algorithms that recognize text from live video streams. This SDK technology ensures superior text recognition accutacy within apps for both businesses and consumers.
