iDRS (I.R.I.S. Developer Reading System)

Previously known as iDRS, this technology is now referred to as the IRISOCR™ SDK. It is a Software Development Kit (SDK) developed by I.R.I.S. to integrate its core document recognition and processing technologies into third-party applications, enabling developers to embed advanced document reading capabilities.
These technologies include:

  • Optical Character Recognition (OCR)

  • Barcode Recognition (BCR)

  • Intelligent Character Recognition (ICR) for handprinted characters

  • Image enhancement

  • Intelligent High-Quality Compression (iHQC)

  • High-Quality OCR (HQOCR)

  • Document output technologies

HQOCR

High quality optical character recognition: OCR engine developed by I.R.I.S. using state of the art concepts from the artificial intelligence research domain.

iHQC

iHQC stands for intelligent High-Quality Compression (PDF format). It is a I.R.I.S. proprietary implementation of mixed raster content compression method (MRC). It relies on image segmentation to fine-tune the compression rate applied to input images.

Long-Term Support (LTS)

An LTS version is entitled to 5 years of support to solve blocker and critical problems thanks to 'service releases'
If you wish to use an iDRS version in your software without frequently updating to newer versions, we recommend using an LTS version.

Property

The term Property is used in the changelog as follows (from 16.0.14):

API The term "Property" refers to: Example: a changelog entry mentioning "Property CMyClass.MyProp" should be read as:

C++

A pair of Get and Set methods on an element

methods CMyClass::GetMyProp() and CMyClass::SetMyProp()

.NET

The equivalent property

property CMyClass.MyProp

Likewise, a read-only property will refer to a single Get method (not Set) in C++.
