About Us
In 1989, a team of leading math, statistics, and computer
science specialists, united by a vision of developing the
best OCR software possible, founded Ligature. In less than
one year the Ligature team produced a working OCR product.
In 1991 the company completed development of its first generation
Omnifont products for both Hebrew and Latin characters. The
Hebrew product met with immediate and remarkable success in
the Israeli market.
In early 1992, Ligature introduced its first OCR for Windows
and then launched internationally CharacterEyes OCR software
for Latin characters. By 1993, Ligature was making a name
for itself worldwide and the company's growth led to the opening
of a US office. By early 1995, a full neural network based
technology built from the ground up was integrated into the
existing product. In 1996, Ligature released version 3.0 of
CharacterEyes and the SDK, which incorporated Windows '95
compatibility, increased functionality and a 40% increase
in recognition accuracy, making CharacterEyes an even better
solution for OCR needs.
Ligature has always concentrated on special development projects
and has entered into several strategic partnerships. One special
project, in particular, spawned the development of Ligature's
breakthrough technology: OCR-on-a-Chip. Ligature is always
attuned to additional development partners for applications
based on OCR technology. The company is exploring new avenues
for distribution and for the application of its OCR technologies.
Today, Ligature's OCR solutions are distributed around the
world and are integrated in numerous software programs, hardware
products and specialized applications selling millions of
licenses worldwide. Ligature remains committed to developing
the best OCR solutions and to the improvement of its OCR engine.
Ligature's 32-bit OCR utilizes state of the art technology
including neural networks, stochastic algorithms, linguistic
analysis and adaptive learning. All products run under Windows
'95, '98, 2000, ME, and NT. All major TWAIN compliant scanners
are supported. |
