ABBYY Recognition Server 2.0 System Administrator’s Guide
Introduction
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a technology that enables you to convert scanned or photographed images of
printed documents into machineeditable and searchable text.
ABBYY Recognition Server is a robust and powerful serverbased solution for automating optical character recognition
and PDF conversion of medium and high volumes of documents.
Recognition Server can be used both as a turnkey outofthebox solution and as an integral part of document capture
systems, document sorting systems and backend applications.
ABBYY Recognition Server 2.0 provides:
• High quality recognition and conversion of documents in more than 190 languages
Awardwinning ABBYY OCR technology delivers unprecedented recognition accuracy for any kind of printed
documents.
• Unattended serverbased operation
The whole document conversion process is performed in unattended mode on the server, and administered
centrally.
• Fault tolerance
Designed as a highly robust solution, Recognition Server ensures the ongoing system stability and data safety.
• Unprecedented scalability
With its ability to use the resources of additional computers and CPUs during processing, Recognition Server
has no speed limitations and can convert virtually any volume of documents within the required timeframe.
There is no need for complex system configuration – it takes just a few minutes to extend the processing
power by plugging additional stations to the system.
• Flexible integration tools
Integration with scanners, MFPs, imaging applications and backend systems has never been easier. Recognition
Server can communicate with other systems in a number of ways: via “watched” folders, email, XML files or
Open API.
