The Most Comprehensive SDK for Data Capture and Document Conversion

ABBYY FineReader Engine includes all the technologies needed for developing state-of-the-art intelligent data capture, document recognition, and document conversion systems. In addition to OCR, ICR, OMR and barcode recognition technologies, it also offers image pre- and post- processing, document layout analysis, advanced PDF conversion with support for various types and flavors of PDF, including PDF/A standard, and form processing (for both fixed and semi-structured forms and documents).

ABBYY FineReader Engine also delivers complete field level/zonal recognition capabilities to support key business processes such as key-word classification, keyword indexing, and forms processing. ABBYY FineReader Engine is a common platform for ABBYY's recognition technologies. It covers all the core technology functions that are inside of ABBYY's flagship products including ABBYY FineReader OCR, ABBYY FormReader and ABBYY FlexiCapture Studio. It also provides processing features specifically designed for large-scale and international projects, such as Fast Mode Recognition, Document Analysis for Invoices, Document Analysis for Full Text Indexing, and the broadest language support, with 191 languages for OCR, including the newly added Thai and Hebrew, and 92 languages for ICR.

Single Development Environment

ABBYY FineReader Engine 8.1 offers all of the essential data capture and document conversion tools in a single toolkit. As a result, developers and integrators benefit from working with a single and efficient environment and no longer need to outsource different technologies, learn different programming environments or deal with multiple licensing agreements.

In addition, FineReader Engine's modular approach in its runtime licenses ensures that developers only pay for the technology they use in the end application. FineReader Engine is flexible enough to support development of an application of any architecture and scale. Developers can create a client workstation designed from scratch, build a server-based solution, or integrate the FineReader Engine's technologies into an existing application.

With each new development cycle, ABBYY enhances the FineReader core technology with new features designed to support the increasingly sophisticated needs of ABBYY customers.
