Release Notes for Java - 1.x

1.2.1 (06/08/2021)

• Supports recognition of A-Z, a-z, 0-9, ., -, _, (blank space), / and : characters.
• Supports text recognition from BMP, JPEG, PNG and single-page TIFF files.
• Supports zonal OCR and provides three ways to localize text areas:
  • Pre-define an area manually in pixel or percentage.
  • Specify an area relative to the barcode zone, which allows you to recognize accompanying texts near the barcode.
  • Specify an area relative to blocks which share the same colour or uses the same font colour. A common example would be a price tag, where the text of interest is always on a yellow square background, the yellow square can serve as the reference region.
• Supports specifying a regular expression to improve recognition accuracy and robustness.
