Bring the power of recognition, classification, compression and/or
extraction to your application
Currently 4 toolkits for integration/OEM are available:
• Imaging, recognition and compression toolkit: iDRS SDK
• Business card recognition toolkit: CardIris SDK
• Fast Document classification toolkit: Fingerprint SDK
• Intelligent Document Recognition toolkit: IDR SDK

I.R.I.S. not only provides applications and solutions but also wants to let integrators and OEM take advantage of these technologies by offering powerful but easy to use software development kits
Functionality wise, these 4 SDK’s can be subdivided into:
• Image enhancement, pre-processing SDK
• Character Recognition (OCR, ICR, MICR) SDK
• OCR and Document Creation (PDF, HTML, RTF, XPS, ...) SDK
• Barcode Recognition (1D, 2D) SDK
• Compression (iHQC) SDK
• Business Card Recognition (Cardiris) SDK
• Fast Document classification Fingerprint SDK
• Invoice recognition SDK
• Classification/Digital mailroom SDK
• Form recognition SDK
• FreeForm recognition SDK

Business Card RecognitionBusiness Card Recognition
Cardiris SDK
• SDK for scanning and recognizing business cards
• Easy-to-use COM interface – supports VB and .Net languages
• Intelligent field extraction – uses a knowledge database to extract all relevant information like first and last name, city, state, telephone number, job title etc
• Various export possibilities – extracted information can easily be exported to Outlook, Lotus Notes, Excel, XML, iPod and many more
• Support for scanning business cards with the portable IrisCard scanner
Fast Document ClassificationFast Document Classification
Fingerprint classification SDK
• Powerful classification SDK - uses only graphical features to classify documents in milliseconds
• Details and text information are not relevant – Fingerprint can also be used with bad quality OCR documents like faxes
• Uses training to create repositories of learned page layouts
• Can deal with large amount of stored fingerprints without affecting classification speed
• Easy to use COM interface

Fast Document ClassificationFast Document Classification
Intelligent Document Recognition - • Powerful all-in-one recognition and classification SDK
• Fits all document types – freeform, invoices, forms etc
• Predefined solution packages - only need to load appropriate configuration to create a fully-fledged document processing application
• Provides state-of-the-art classification technologies – classify your documents based on graphical layout (Fingerprint) or context analysis
• Very easy-to-use – just a few functions independent of the document type
• Multi-language support – elegant interface supporting native C and .Net

Intelligent Document Recognition -
Only a few lines of code required – C# sample
static void main(){ string workingFolder = “C:\\work”; string config = “C:\\config”; string fileToProcess = “C:\\temp\\test.tif”; Kernel kernel = null; kernel.Init(workingFolder, String.Empty); kernel.LoadEnvironment(config, “noclient”); kernel.InitializeDocument(1, null); kernel.LoadPage(File.ReadAllBytes(fileToProcess)); byte[] resultOut = null; byte[] paramClientOut = null; kernel.ProcessDocument(ref resultOut, ref paramClientOut);}
resultOut byte stream contains the result
