ABBYY turns your PDA into a scanner

ABBYY Software House today announced ABBYY Mobile OCR SDK, a software development toolkit (SDK) for integrating optical character recognition (OCR) and business card reading functions into mobile platforms and applications.
The new SDK offers a truly OS-independent technology which can be integrated into any mobile platform including the Windows Mobile, Symbian, and LINUX operating systems. Designed with the needs of mobile solution providers in mind, ABBYY Mobile OCR SDK combines powerful recognition functions with a small software footprint which utilizes minimal hardware resources. With its small code-size, the Mobile OCR SDK is extremely efficient and can provide instant results, an essential requirement for mobile solutions. Developers can easily embed OCR functionality into any mobile imaging device, including camera phones, digital cameras, PDAs, palmtops, handheld scanners, and other camera-based hardware. OCR embedded into handheld devices allows users to easily capture notes from documents, books, and presentations and quickly transform them into editable and searchable digital information.
