Apryse, a global leader in document processing technology, has unveiled version 11.0 of its Apryse Server and WebViewer Software Development Kits (SDKs), marking a significant advance in its portfolio of high-performance solutions. The latest release showcases Apryse’s commitment to innovation through strategic acquisitions and continuous in-house development, including enhanced capabilities following the recent acquisition of imaging technology firm LEADTOOLS.
Among the key features of version 11.0 are advanced Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) functions, a result of the integration of LEADTOOLS technology. This enhancement brings several new capabilities to Apryse’s product suite, aimed at simplifying document handling for developers and organisations across finance, healthcare, manufacturing, and legal sectors.
Enhanced Barcode Processing and OCR Capabilities
Incorporating LEADTOOLS’ barcode engine, Apryse’s new SDK version now supports high-speed, accurate recognition of over 100 types of barcodes, including widely used formats like QR Codes and DataMatrix. This development allows organisations to streamline data capture from a diverse range of barcode types, addressing growing demand for efficient document processing solutions.
Apryse has also upgraded its Optical Character Recognition (OCR) functions, a capability powered by LEADTOOLS technology that enhances text accuracy by 20% and boosts processing speeds by up to 8-10 times compared to previous iterations. This rapid data extraction, even from complex documents, promises significant efficiency gains for organisations that process large volumes of documentation.
AI-Powered Intelligent Document Processing
Apryse has embedded its proprietary AI model within the new SDK version to enhance document extraction capabilities. Combined with LEADTOOLS’ imaging and recognition tools, this feature allows for precise extraction of text, tables, and complex forms from a broad array of document formats, giving developers the tools needed to automate tasks and create sophisticated, efficient workflows.
Cassidy Smirnow, CEO of Apryse, expressed excitement about the new capabilities, describing the integration as a “significant enhancement” for IDP. She noted that the combination of LEADTOOLS technology with Apryse’s proprietary tools would enable “more advanced and efficient data extraction solutions,” allowing businesses to manage documents seamlessly and drive innovation in document processing.
Focus on Accessibility in Document Viewing
A core feature of WebViewer 11.0 is its compliance with WCAG 2.1 AA UI Accessibility standards, aimed at ensuring a more inclusive digital experience. This compliance simplifies development by making web-based applications accessible from the start, without additional requirements. New functionalities include automatic tagging of accessibility features in documents, a feature that works across PDF and DOCX files, making it easier for developers to incorporate accessibility at scale.
Chief Product Officer Andrew Varley highlighted the improvements as a milestone for accessibility, noting that the updated SDK would make it easier for organisations to meet accessibility standards while ensuring their workflows remain streamlined and efficient.
Broadening Capabilities Across Apryse’s Product Range
The release is part of Apryse’s ongoing strategy to support a wide range of document processing needs, both through the Apryse SDK suite and with its additional industry-leading products, such as iText and Xodo. These tools provide flexible and scalable document solutions tailored to enterprises and small businesses alike.
With the release of version 11.0, Apryse is reinforcing its position at the forefront of document processing, combining advanced AI-powered automation, accessibility features, and reliable data extraction capabilities to deliver efficient solutions for customers worldwide.
