Chapter 3 - General Features of ABBYY FineReader

Image processing

● Printing of scanned images and recognized text.

● Automatic and manual splitting of dual-page- and business card scans.

Recognition

● 177 recognition languages. See the full list under Supported languages in ABBYY

FineReader Help.

● An improved algorithm for the recognition of poor print quality documents. The improved

algorithm incorporates a new adaptive image binarization method and a new method of

background removal, and is particularly effective in the case of images scanned in “gray”

mode.

without requiring the user to install additional fonts.
