ABBYY’s MDCS is a software development toolkit that can be used to extract data intelligently and automatically from images of documents taken by mobile device cameras. The system can automatically classify image types and intelligently extract needed fields from document images.   

These technologies turn mobile device cameras into scanners that can transform a snapshot into a business process. Developers have used the system to do things like calculate the price of goods from a label, initiate a lead from a business card, file an expense report from a receipt and many other mobile solutions where information from environmental images need to integrate with back end business systems.
