Functionality Overview
Classification and Point-and-Click Indexing
The Indexing Station provides an interface which allows operators to
specify document types and attributes. Operators can define indices in
three different ways.
• Type-in Indexing: operators type in indices manually
• “Point-and-click” Indexing: operators extract keywords for indices by
pointing and clicking on a document image
• Key Phrase Indexing: operators use a “rubber band” function for
outlining phrases, multiple lines or paragraphs.
Administrators can also create and define automatic indexing functions
based on document structure and content using scripts.
Output Formats
Recognition Server 3.0 outputs to a variety of formats, including DOC,
DOCX, RTF, XML*, XLS, XLSX, HTML, TIFF, JPEG, JPEG2000 and more. It
is possible to generate multiple output formats for one input document.
Recognition Server supports export to “simple“ searchable PDFs, linear
and tagged PDFs, PDF files with security options and encryption and
PDF/A for long-term archiving. It is also possible to generate highly
compressed MRC-PDFs, which can effectively manage colour documents.
Export
Recognition and conversion results can be sent by e-mail or deposited
in different locations such as ECM systems, archives or Sharepoint
Servers.*
Features
Input and Scanning
ABBYY Recognition Server offers an application for direct scanning to
Recognition Server. The Scanning Station supports TWAIN, WIA and ISIS
scanning interfaces and provides tools for visual quality control of docu-
ments before recognition. Pre-recognition tools available from the
Scanning Station include document preview, image enhancement, batch
type definition, manual redaction, and page order sorting.
Recognition and PDF Conversion
ABBYY’s award-winning recognition technology, known for its accuracy
and stability, underpins Recognition Server. The system supports a
broad range of recognition functions and file input formats, including:
• Image pre-processing: split dual pages (for book scans), convert colour
and grey to black and white, clear background noise, and more
• Print Type: Choose between normal text, typewriter, dot-matrix,
OCR-A, OCR-B, and MICR (E13b)
• Languages: Select from more than 190 languages, accurately
process even multilingual documents*
• Special Fonts: Support for black letter, Schwabacher and most other
Gothic fonts printed between 1700 and 1937 in English, German,
French, Italian and Spanish*
• Barcodes: Recognises most popular 1D and 2D barcodes including
2D Aztec, Data Matrix, and QR Code barcodes, no matter the angle
or position on a document
• 3 different Processing Speed Modes: precision, speed, and
balanced mode
Customisation via Scripting
By leveraging scripting, users can customise internal processing,
exceptions handling and document export. Different kinds of scripts
can be used to create more flexible document separation rules, auto-
mate simple indexing, add dynamic and custom export functions and
simplify publication of the output documents to external systems.
Scripts can also be used for exception handling to manage processing
of documents requiring special attention.
Quality Control and Verification****
Verification Stations, which can be installed on multiple workstations and
controlled using a concurrent licence, enable operators to manually check
or verify processing results. Verifiers can check the layout reconstruction
(image, text, tables), edit the recognised text and check spelling.
Document Separation and Naming
Recognition Server can use blank pages or barcodes as document
separators. It can also create documents of a fixed number of pages.
Documents in a sub-folder can also be merged into a single document.
Users may also choose to create automatic naming conventions for
documents using characteristics such a date, time, specific text and
barcode values. Using scripting controls, administrators can create
custom rules for document separation.
* Specialised features available with Recognition Server Extended Edition only. Certain functions are available as Add-on modules for Extended Edition only.
** Available as Add-on Modules for either Edition.
*** The diagram and processing capacity information is based on internal testing. System performance can vary depending on the quality of images, hardware performance, network configuration and other factors.
**** The Verification Station is sceduled for availability in Q4/2010.
