Apryse, provider of the cross-platform Leadtools toolkit for building document and image processing capabilities into applications, has released Leadtools 23, which introduces a new Excel API and .NET MAUI support.Released March 5, Leadtools 23 features an Excel API that allows developers to build and save Microsoft Excel sheets programmatically, while the Excel Web Editor integrates into HTML/JavaScript applications. Both enable editing, formatting, formula creation, styling, merging, and saving of Excel files.A new PDF engine in Leadtools, meanwhile, allows developers to load, view, and save PDFs at a more affordable cost, the company said. Leadtools is powered by patented AI and machine learning algorithms and provides a collection of toolkits to integrate recognition, document, medical imaging, and multimedia technologies into desktop, server, tablet, web, and mobile solutions.With .NET MAUI (Multi-platform App UI) integration, Leadtools brings a new React Medical Web Viewer to Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows applications, allowing developers to integrate medical image processing functions and comprehensive 3D volume rendering or the entire Leadtools feature set, depending on individual uses.Other Leadtools 23 updates include multi-capture video support, to display angles from virtually any capture source while streaming an audio file; speech recognition demos using the Multimedia SDK, generating captions dynamically during video playback; and recognition engine enhancements, including segmentation algorithms for accurate paragraph detection.In addition to stronger optical character recognition, enhanced 1D and 2D barcode recognition is offered along with expanded support for various font styles and optimized forms of recognition and processing capabilities. Apryse acquired Leadtools maker Lead Technologies last month.
