ABBYY FineReader 9.0 User’s Guide
ABBYY FineReader includes ABBYY Hot Folder & Scheduling, a scheduling agent which allows you to select a folder with images
and set the time for ABBYY FineReader to process the images contained in the folder. For example, you can schedule your computer to
recognize images overnight.
To process images in a folder automatically, create a processing task for that folder and specify the image opening, OCR, and saving
options. You must also specify how often ABBYY FineReader should check the folder for new images (at regular intervals or only once)
and set the start time for the task.
Important!
At the time when the task should start, your computer must be turned on and you must be logged on.
