Technical details

Small resource footprint
RecogniContact was optimized for minimum resource requirements. The three redistributable files that will be installed on a customer's PC have a total size of less than 3 megabytes. These files already contain the database with place names and strings that are required to recognize country- and language-dependent contact information.

Performance
The time required to parse a contact information record is in the range of a few milliseconds.

Stand-alone solution – no Internet connection required
RecogniContact is a fully self-contained solution that performs the address parsing solely on the end user's computer. No connection to a server is required. Contact data need not be transferred via the Internet.

Integration with minimum effort
As a COM class, RecogniContact can be integrated into a Windows application with minimum effort. In a Visual Basic project, a basic integration of RecogniContact can be achieved as follows:

Dim RC As Object
Dim ParsedContact As Object

Set RC = CreateObject("RecogniContact.Parser")
RC.Initialize("<Name>","<LicenseKey>")

TextToParse = "LoquiSoft, Porzellangasse 7a/8, 1090 Vienna, www.loquisoft.com"

Set ParsedContact = RC.Parse(TextToParse)

...... now use ParsedContact.GetValue(<FieldID>)
...... to access the parsed values
