This product is available internationally. Every function call works with simple strings and integers, no messy pointer code here. Included in the toolkit is a comprehensive combination of test utilities, example source code, and documentation. Every function call in the NestorReader API is fully documented with an explanation of each parameter, and example code snippets in 'C' and Visual Basic. Source code is also supplied for two full working test applications, one in Visual Basic, and one in Delphi.
Documentation is supplied on CD-ROM and in printed manuals.
Included with the toolkit are several utilities described below, which allow developers to exercise and become familiar with the NestorReader API, and aid in the overall development process. It can also be used for testing and troubleshooting during the development process. This application, written using Broland's Delphi compiler, will let you scan images, edit Zone Definition Files, perform recognition on a single image or batch of images, display the results of recognition both graphically and textually, and view or edit the results of recognition. Pro even displays the NestorReader function call that will be made when a menu item is highlighted that uses that API function. NR Pro can be used as both a learning tool and as a starting point for your own applications.
