Mobile World Congress, Hall 5 Stand 5B41, February 22, 2016 - A2iA (@A2iA), an award-winning developer of software for the worldwide data capture, document processing, and payment systems markets, announced the availability of its newest offline and client-side identity document recognition capabilities this week in Barcelona, Spain, at Mobile World Congress, Hall 5 Stand 5B41.

In addition to ID documents, A2iA Mobility supports the automatic extraction of data from receipts, handwritten and printed fields from forms, and is the only mobile toolkit on the market to include check recognition support for the United States, Canada, and countries in Latin America, Europe and Asia Pacific. By combining its patented Auto-LocateTM feature with its offline functionality, A2iA Mobility delivers a quick and simple user experience, including the ability to automatically locate and capture a document from a video stream when it is found in focus. Available for integration into iOS and Android applications, software developers can customize the interface and experience for their specific users.
