Designed for high-volume document conversion, ABBYY FineReader Server automatically converts large collections of documents into searchable and accessible digital repositories. This server-based OCR and PDF conversion offering converts scanned and electronic documents into PDF, PDF/A, Microsoft Word, or other formats for search, long-term retention, collaboration, or additional processing – quickly, accurately, and automatically.
Features
AI-powered OCR
Delivers fast, accurate results in over 200 languages (including European, Arabic, CJK, etc.)
Server-based architecture
Uses all available hardware resources in the most efficient way possible.
How it Works
ABBYY FineReader Server receives document images from storage folders, multifunction printers, scanners, or e-mails and uses optical character recognition (OCR) technology to automatically convert them into compressed, searchable digital formats.
If needed, the user and the system can add metadata to the document and the user can manually correct text information. The service can run around the clock or process documents in batches on a scheduled basis to optimize use of hardware resources. The resulting digitized files can be saved to any number of storage areas and/or delivered to other applications.
