What Is ABBYY FineReader?
ABBYY FineReader, an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) application, converts printed and PDF documents and document
images into editable computer files.
ABBYY FineReader features
Fast and accurate recognition
● ABBYY FineReader allows you to transform printed and PDF documents into an editable electronic document with QuickTasks
that provide easy access to all major scanning, conversion, and recognition scenarios.
● ABBYY FineReader can recognize texts printed in virtually any font and is largely immune to printing defects.
● Seamless integration with Microsoft Office enables you to recognize documents directly from Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, or
Microsoft Outlook.
● ABBYY FineReader detects Web links, e–mail addresses, headers, and footers on paper and PDF documents and recreates them in
the resulting electronic texts.
Ease of use
● ABBYY FineReader's neat and intuitive resultsdriven interface allows you to master the main features of the application in almost
no time at all.
● The program's highly customizable interface lets you adjust the workspace by changing the size and location of the windows,
selecting color schemes, and customizing the toolbars and other interface elements.
● The flexible settings make working with large documents faster and easier. You can choose to recognize only selected pages rather
than recognizing the entire document. You can also control the size of the output file.
● This User's Guide documents these features and provides instructions and tips for non–standard or complex document conversion
cases.
