ClearImage Repair 5.5

ClearImage Repair 5.5 is an intelligent and useful tool which can help you easily develop production applications, in VB, C++ or Delphi, to automatically improve the appearance of scanned, faxed or captured images. Read images in TIFF, JPG, Grayscale and Color. Use the high level power of ClearImage Repair to standardize the appearance and size of the images and to remove annoying artifacts. Archive high quality images that support further data capture via OCR, or Key From Image. Setup the batch process and let the software determine what needs to be done and to what degree.

ClearImage Repair addresses the common image quality issues of fax and scanned images. Without operator intervention, it automatically analyzes, cleans up and standardizes the appearance of images for archiving, for viewing without operator fatigue, for key from image data entry and for reducing OCR/ICR error rates. Through an intuitive .NET or COM API, ClearImage Repair operates on Bi-tonal, Color and Grayscale images, stored in the most popular formats, including TIFF, JPG or PDF .

The ClearImage Repair, included in the ClearImage SDK, is designed to minimize your time to market and to reduce your operating costs:

1. Easy evaluation. Try automatic image clean-up with your own images in ClearImage Demo. To start evaluation download free ClearImage SDK.
2. Rapid development. Start with the source code examples in C#, VB.NET, Visual Basic (VB6), C++, ASP, PHP, Delphi. Use intuitive .NET or COM API without obscure parameters. For example, these few lines of C# automatically deskew and crop an image from a TIF file.
3. Reliable operation. ClearImage Repair is easy to install in production environment, where it delivers proven reliable results.
4. Quick answers. At Inlite Research, developers respond to your support queries. Contact our development team to get an expert advice typically within 24 hours.
