ABBYY FineReader 6.0 User’s Guide
(FineReader Corporate Edition only)
1. Create/Open a batch and set up the required scanning and recognition options.
2. Run FineReader and open the relevant batch on all computers that are to process it.
3. Run background recognition (
Process>Start background recognition) on all computers
involved in recognizing the batch.
4. Start the scanning on a computer equipped with an ADF scanner.
Tip: If your high-speed scanner does not support the TWAIN standard, scan your pages direct-
ly into the FineReader batch folder. This can be done by scanning the images on the computer
attached to the scanner (using the scanning application supplied with your scanner), and spec-
ifying the FineReader batch folder as the folder to which images should be saved. Note that
scanned images should be named as follows: 0001.tif, 0002.tif, 0003.tif... etc., in accordance
with the order in which they are scanned.
5. FineReader will automatically detect and process all the images you scan.
6. Edit the recognized text (if necessary) and save it to file or export it to the application of
your choice.
You can monitor page status (i.e. see whether a page has been scanned, recognized, edited, or exported,
etc., and by whom) in the
Batch window. All this information is displayed in the corresponding
columns in the
Details batch page view. To set up the Details page view:
● Right-click the Batch window and select the View>Details item in the local menu.
You can customize the Details page view e.g. specify the columns you want displayed in the
Batch win-
dow or select the characteristic by which pages are to be sorted:
● Right-click the Batch window and select View>Customize. Set the necessary options on
the
Details tab of the Batch View Settings dialog.
If batch pages are to be processed using several computers, FineReader will distribute the workload
automatically between them: each newly scanned page is allocated to the first free workstation able to
accept it (background recognition must be running on the workstation concerned) and no other work-
station will be able to access it until recognition is complete. To refresh the batch page list, press
F5 or
select the
Update page list item in the Batch menu. Once a page has been recognized, any other work-
station (or indeed the same workstation) can open the page concerned for checking, editing and sav-
ing. Changes made by a user are not user-specific and apply to all users of the same batch.
Note: If your batch contains a large number of pages, recognition speed will be increased if you use
“Background mode” in combination with a multi-processor system.
Work with the Same Batch Over a Network
Group Work with the Same User Languages and Dictionaries
(FineReader Corporate Edition only)
Create a batch and set up the required scanning and recognition options. All the user languages and
dictionaries you attach will be stored in one folder. By default this will be the batch folder. Before you
can create a user language that makes use of a user dictionary, you have to specify the folder in which
both are to be stored. To specify the folder:
● Click the Change button in the Language Editor dialog (Tools>Language editor) and
select the folder in the resulting dialog. All user languages and related dictionaries will then
be stored in this folder.
