Key Network Features
Automated Network Installation
FineReader CE allows automated network installation with multiple deployment methods: it allows administrators to remotely install the software from the server onto workstations using Active Directory, Microsoft Systems Management Server or the command line.
Flexible License Management
The utility for managing licenses in a network environment allows you to monitor the use of ABBYY FineReader 9.0 Corporate Edition on workstations, assign licenses to particular workstations, and add new licenses. With "concurrent license management", businesses can install ABBYY FineReader 9.0 Corporate Edition on as many workstations as necessary, paying only for "simultaneous use" - the maximum number of workstations using the product at any one time.
Support for Networked Scanning Devices
Networked scanning devices that combine the functionality of a scanner, printer, copier and fax are becoming increasingly popular. Designed for workgroups with MFPs and digital copiers, ABBYY FineReader adds OCR functionality to the devices allowing you to recognize and save scanned images automatically.
Hot Folder & Scheduling
Ideal for companies working with networked scanners, digital copiers or MFPs, or fax servers, the Hot Folder & Scheduling application allows you to designate folders located on a local drive, network drive or FTP server to be monitored by FineReader. Each time when new documents or images are added to these folders, FineReader will automatically process them in the background. You can also pre-schedule recognition and processing tasks to be started at a designated time.
Distributed Document Processing
With ABBYY FineReader Corporate Edition, you can share the document conversion process within your network. Different users can process, recognize, and proofread the same batch of documents simultaneously.
Collaboration over a network
Users can share custom dictionaries and languages over a network: industry-specific terms can be added by one user and accessed from other stations. It is also possible to distribute automated tasks among collaborators.
Key Features for Optimal OCR and PDF Conversion
Excellent Recognition Accuracy and Layout Retention
ABBYY FineReader 9.0 delivers superior recognition accuracy and layout retention, even on difficult-to-read or low-quality documents. FineReader flawlessly captures and re-creates all formatting elements of the originals (including columns, tables, lists and graphics) – you don’t have to retype or reformat.
Digital Camera OCR: Turns Digital Cameras into Portable Document Capture Devices
Now you can use your digital camera to capture documents and convert them into reusable information. ABBYY FineReader intelligently identifies photographed documents and applies ABBYY’s new adaptive recognition technology for camera images to ensure the best OCR results. With Digital Camera OCR, FineReader gives you wider possibilities to quickly capture documents and convert them into editable and searchable electronic files even when you are on the go.
Using a digital camera for OCR, you can overcome the limitations set by traditional scanning devices. You can capture text from large posters or pages from thick, bound documents such as books, which are hard to scan. In addition, using a digital camera to capture documents is very efficient. You can capture documents several times faster than it takes to scan them.
Accurate, Fast and Secure PDF Conversion
ABBYY FineReader 9.0 is an ideal PDF conversion tool. It offers three different PDF conversion functions in one application:
• Open a PDF file and convert it into editable formats (such as Microsoft Word or Excel).
• Open a PDF file, perform minor text editing, and then save it back to PDF.
• Create searchable PDFs from paper documents.
ABBYY FineReader complies with the latest encryption standards. With FineReader, you can create secure PDFs with up to 128-bit encryption with Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). FineReader also respects access right protection: when opening a PDF file for conversion, FineReader prompts the user to enter the password before proceeding.
All PDF files created in FineReader are optimized for publishing on the Web. In addition, with ABBYY FineReader you can create tagged PDF files optimized for handheld devices and screen-reader utilities.
One-Click OCR with Automation Manager
With new Automation Manager, you can perform complete conversion tasks with a single click of the mouse. ABBYY FineReader comes with pre-programmed tasks for the most common document processing routines, including Scan (and OCR) to Word, Scan to PDF, and PDF to Word.
You can also create your own customized tasks using the Automation Wizard. The Wizard guides you through the steps of creating new tasks. Tasks can be customized and fine-tuned using the commands and options in ABBYY FineReader 9.0, so you can quickly and easily automate even the most specific task. For example, you can specify a task to scan documents, load a template, perform OCR, and then save the results in Word and PDF, as well as the original image, in different folders. All this can be done with a single mouse click.
Automated tasks can be easily imported and exported. Once you have created some useful automated tasks, you can export them as a file and share with your colleagues and friends.
Multilingual Recognition
ABBYY FineReader supports 179 languages, including English, German, French, Greek, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Swedish, Finnish, Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Czech, Hungarian, Polish, Slovak, Malay, Indonesian, and others. Built-in spell-check is available for 36 languages. This simplifies document conversion for people working with a variety of different countries and cultures.
Send Results Directly to Microsoft Word, Excel and More
When you are converting documents for editing, ABBYY FineReader 9.0 exports the results directly to your favorite applications, including Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, Lotus Word Pro, Corel WordPerfect, Sun StarWriter and Adobe Acrobat/Reader. In addition, recognized text can be saved in a variety of file formats, including PDF, HTML, Microsoft Word XML, DOC, RTF, XLS, PPT, DBF, CSV, TXT, and LIT.
ABBYY Screenshot Reader Utility for Instant OCR
ABBYY Screenshot Reader is an easy-to-use utility that lets you quickly capture screen images and allows you to perform “instant” OCR from the screen. It is ideal for pulling text, tables, or images from Web browser pages, Flash presentations, Windows Explorer file menus, or error messages. Screenshot Reader is also an ideal “quick OCR” tool when you want to pull small quotes or a few sentences of text from a PDF or image file.
Integration with Microsoft Word
You can launch ABBYY FineReader from within Microsoft Word, scan paper documents and put the recognized text into the document you are currently working on without leaving Word.
When exporting documents to Microsoft Word 2003, FineReader automatically opens an embedded view of the original document, allowing you to edit and view your documents at the same time, thus eliminating the need to switch between the two applications.
WYSIWYG Text Editor
The multicolumn WYSIWYG (“what you see is what you get”) text editor allows you to view the full layout of the scanned document during editing, so that you can quickly check the file before exporting it.
Full-Text Searches with Morphology Support
Any batch created in ABBYY FineReader can be used as a small database with full-text search capabilities. You can search for words in all their grammatical forms. This feature is available for 36 languages that have dictionary support.
Barcode Recognition
ABBYY FineReader also supports barcode recognition, including recognition of PDF-417 2D barcodes. This is ideal for companies that need to process and index a large number of documents for archiving.
Image Splitting Tool
The image splitting tool allows you to split the image into several areas and save each area as a separate page. This mode is particularly handy for recognizing books and PowerPoint handouts.
Easy to Use
ABBYY FineReader 9.0 has a new intuitive, user-friendly interface that guides you through the OCR process. Whether you are new to OCR or an advanced user, working with FineReader 9.0 is simple and easy.
