ABBYY FineReader and its features. Chapter Contents • What Is ABBYY FineReader • What's New in ABBYY FineReader What is ABBYY FineReader ABBYY FineReader is an optical character recognition (OCR) system. It is used to convert scanned documents, PDF documents, and image files, including digital photos, into editable formats. ABBYY FineReader advantages Fast and accurate recognition • The OCR system used in ABBYY FineReader lets users quickly and accurately recognize and retain the source formatting of any document (including text on background images, colored text on colored backgrounds, text wrapped around an image, etc.). • Thanks to ABBYY's adaptive document recognition technology (ADRT®), ABBYY FineReader can analyze and process a document as a whole, instead of page by page. This approach retains the source document's structure, including formatting, hyperlinks, e–mail addresses, headers and footers, image and table captions, page numbers, and footnotes. • ABBYY FineReader can recognize documents written in one or several of 189 languages, including Arabic, Vietnamese, Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Thai, and Hebrew. ABBYY FineReader also features auto–detection of document languages. • What's more, ABBYY FineReader
