FineReader Server processes incoming files from a myriad of formats including most image file types, PDF, TIFF, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, HTML, OpenDocument Text, and more.

Recognizes Barcodes for Separation

Makes document separation much easier by allowing the use of barcodes to separate types of documents. The barcode can be placed either on the image itself or on a separate barcode separator sheet.

Lots of PDF Export Options

FineReader Server was designed with the export of OCR documents to the PDF format. A wide variety of PDF formats are possible including compressed PDF (PDF/A-1a, PDF/A-1b, PDF/A-2u, and PDF/A-3a) as well as the new PDF/UA format.

Automatic Document Type Separation

Automatically separates documents based upon their type through the use of detection of the number of pages, blank page detection, or barcode separator sheets. Rules can also be created through the built in scripting engine to separate document types within a batch.

Integrated with SharePoint

Includes sophisticated integration with Microsoft SharePoint Server to provide features such as automatically checking out non-searchable documents from a library and then checking in a new, OCR text searchable version. Also provides basic functions such as checking in documents being sent through OCR.

API / REST / COM

Innovative XML ticket function provides a way to process document batches based upon an “CML ticket” included along with the document image itself. This provides a way to send unique OCR processing paramaters to FineReader Server for each document which has an XML ticket included. A COM and Web Services API is also available to peform more complex integration functions. Read more about the Web Services API

How does it work?

ABBYY FineReader Server receives document images from storage folders, multifunction printers, scanners, or e-mails and uses optical character recognition (OCR) technology to automatically convert them into compressed, searchable digital formats.

If needed, the user and the system can add metadata to the document and the user can manually correct text information. The service can run around the clock or process documents in batches on a scheduled basis to optimize use of hardware resources. The resulting digitized files can be saved to any number of storage areas and/or delivered to other applications.
