Architecture
Main Components
ABBYY Recognition Server consists of 6 components: Server Manager, Processing Station, Verification Station, Remote
Administration Console, COMbased API, and Web Service.
Server Manager
This is the main component. It works as a Windows service, manages licenses and all processing options, forms and
manages the job queue, distributes the jobs among Processing Stations and Verification Stations, and delivers the output
documents after processing. It also coordinates the work of other components (Processing Stations and Verification
Stations) and interacts with the Remote Administration Console and the API. The Server Manager does not perform
recognition, this task is performed by Processing Stations.
ABBYY Recognition Server will not function without the Server Manager. To run the Server Manager, you need an
activated and nonexpired license. See the Protection Technology and License Activation section for details.
Processing Station
This component is a Windows service that directly performs recognition. It processes files received from the Server
Manager.
The Recognition Server allows you to connect several Processing Stations to one Server Manager in order to increase the
processing speed and maximize the throughput. The Server Manager will evenly distribute the workload among the
CPUs of the Processing Stations.
Verification Station
This is a client station which allows you to proofread the recognition results. The Verification Station automatically
receives the recognized pages that must be verified from the Server Manager. You can connect several Verification
Stations to one Server Manager to speed up the verification process.
Remote Administration Console
This is a Microsoft® Management Console (MMC) snapin that provides a common administration interface for
configuration and monitoring Recognition Server.
