by ·

On January 12th, Tungsten Automation (previously known as Kofax), a provider of document-workflow solutions, announced the general availability of OmniPage Capture Software Development Kit (SDK) 2025.3 for the Linux operating system. This is the latest release of the Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and document-processing platform for Linux-based application development and large-scale document-processing environments. New updates focus on improved recognition accuracy, image processing, and AI-based data extraction in Linux OCR software development tool kits

Built on the OmniPage Capture SDK platform, the new release introduces significant enhancements for machine-readable zone (MRZ) and Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) recognition, adaptive image pre-processing, more accurate handling of redactions within editable text, and improved capabilities for forms recognition and zonal data extraction. Tungsten says these advancements further strengthen OmniPage’s reputation for combining industry-leading recognition accuracy with high-performance throughput and robust pre- and post-processing functionality powered by integrated AI technologies.

OmniPage Capture SDK 2025.3 for Linux is supported on:

  • Debian 11.x, 12.x
  • Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, 24.04 LTS
  • Fedora 40, 41
  • CentOS Stream 9.x, 10.x
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 8.8, 9.x, 10.x
  • Oracle Linux 8.x, 9.x

Tungsten says this broad platform support enables seamless enterprise deployment across modern cloud, on-premises, and hybrid Linux infrastructures. OmniPage CSDK supports many programming languages, including C/C++, Python, Java and .NET. The SDK provides advanced OCR engines for text, bar codes, and forms processing, comprehensive image optimization, and PDF/A-4 compliant output, allowing software providers and systems integrators to build scalable, compliant, and high-performance document automation solutions.

According to Douglas Rudolph, senior vice president of OEM Sales at Tungsten Automation, ”We have a vibrant road map for OmniPage CSDK supporting Windows, Linux, Mac, and Android OS. Typically, we can get customers up and running on any platform in days. Additionally, our solution architects can assist developer teams to maximize accuracy and performance while removing unnecessary complexity for our OEM partners.

”Our per-page or flat-fee licensing model gives developers predictable costs at scale while providing unrestricted access to the full power of our AI-driven OCR platform, enabling them to focus on innovation rather than volume-based processing limits,” Rudolph said.

OmniPage OCR Technology

Backed by over three decades of continuous innovation, Tungsten says OmniPage technology consistently demonstrates superior OCR accuracy and processing performance compared to alternative solutions, significantly reducing exception handling and operational costs in high-volume environments. 

With the release of OmniPage Capture SDK 2025.3 for Linux, Tungsten says it further expands the reach of its market-leading OCR platform to support mission-critical document workflows across all major enterprise operating systems.
