I have been using this software for several years now, because it quickly and accurately recognizes scanned text and requires little handwritten editing. So time saving is obvious.

It takes a lot of time to open large files, as well as their conversion to other formats, even on a fairly powerful computer. You can not create backups on third-party services.

The programs functions are easier to find than adobe, and this is a solid pdf application.

The pricing model is good, not requiring a subscription. Features are good.

Doesn't play well with some integrations, unfortunately, as adobe has pretty much cornered the market as a preferred pdf provider.

Very good OCR accuracy. Easy to use

Good accuracy and very feature rich. PDF editing is easy. Unique file comparison tool. Hoit Folder automation.

Slow start. In case great file size the OCR process and out file generation could take long time.

If you need to work with documents, this is a great tool for recognition, digitalization and conversion. Price is high and it uses high resources on a computer. If you have a high volume of documents to work with, this is a great tool.

Abbyy FineReader support for almost all languages is impressive. We use many different languages, so it is very important for us to have a tool that can recognize well.

The price is fairly high for those who don't have many documents.

Sometimes I get a technical task from customers, crookedly scanned or even just photographed on a smartphone. It is not always possible to distinguish what is written on paper. The FineReader service helps to solve this problem. After working with the document, you can convert it to another format.

The first drawback of FineReader is that users do not have the ability to obtain offline access to personal documents in the system. The second drawback is the lack of a tool to control file versions.

I use the program to digitize scans of documents. Most of all I like that the program contains many useful features. One of my favorites is Hot Folder. Thanks to this feature, you can customize tasks and the program will digitize the necessary documents automatically. You can enable this feature and just do other things.

The program is not perfect. Errors will inevitably appear during digitization. Most often, the program incorrectly digitizes small print or documents scanned in low quality. To reduce the number of errors, you have to pre-adjust the image contrast, etc.

For anyone in the finance industry, it is now simply understood that numbers are no longer "crunched" by overworked accountants battling customer-driven deadlines. That is all gone by way of automation. The only hang-up to a seamless input into automation is the fact that much of it still is stored as paper, believe it or not. My firm in particular made a push to start digitizing all of our records and in this process, I learned much about OCR technology. There are hundreds of products that say they can OCR, but the fact that ABBYY can process a HUGE variety of documents, fonts, etc. , this saves a lot of time correcting the output and actually getting searchable documents onto file storage. I just hope that this product continues to develop and remains at its reasonable price point.

It literally helped my firm save HUNDREDS of man-hours of data entry by running all of our scanned documents through ABBYY and relying heavily upon its OCR to produce a variety of formats which we were able to quickly cross verify and enter into the accounting software. In short, the quality and intelligence of their OCR engine is tremendously accurate and fast!

The licensing stuff is a little TOO strict and often the remote licensing procedure has to be manually restarted within WIndows Services. We eventually bought more licenses after realizing that ABBYY will be a critical component in my firm's efforts to digitize all of our records and hard copies onto our cloud-hosted server. However, for a very small business that may not warrant another license purchase, they will quickly find out that ABBYY is quick to detect multiple sessions of the same serial code and will block both out. A little excessive, but I can understand their strict use and protection of this fine product.

I use Abby for a number of purposes, however where it is most useful to me is to convert financial data for analysis in Microsoft Excel for further analysis.

One of the most useful aspects of Abbyy Finereader, especially when compared to other OCR software is the level of control offered to the user. This enables poor quality scans as an example to be cleaned up and optimized for recognition. It is easy to edit pages collectively or individually to compensate for distortions and even deal with water marks and poor quality images.

I do have a wish list:

ABBYY FineReader is three in one. Using the program, I can edit documents, compare copies and digitize them in any convenient format. Digitization accuracy is quite high, so all errors in the final results can be corrected in a few minutes.

It is difficult to use a computer during digitization, because the load on the central processor increases. The strangest thing is that RAM resources are almost not wasted. I don’t know why this is happening.

Sometimes I have to work with various electronic documents. On some scans difficult to view the contents of the text. For this, I use the ABBY FineReader system. The utility quickly recognizes text from a scan. 193 languages supported. It is possible to convert a file from one format to another.

Unfortunately, the ABBYY FineReader service does not provide the ability to connect third-party cloud solutions to create additional backup copies of personal data.

I hate typing. This software helps me avoid typing and yet be productive.

Amazed with this software which I wonder should have known earlier for my typing needs for my internet cafe. Earlier, I used to type manually all the typing jobs I used to receive in hard copy. When I came to know about this software, I could not believe that just with a scan copy of printed text, the technology could sense and give me output in word form. Typing is after all a monotonous job. I now just scan the hard copy and done. Also, no need to type manually jpg or pdf files, saving lot of time and energy adding productivity to the work place.

However, the software too often fails when the hard copy is hand written instead of typed text. There is a lot of room for improvement here and the makers of this software should be aware of the same. Hopefully, future versions should also be adept in figuring out hand-written texts accurately.

Very often I get scans of various documents with calculations, formulas, etc. It is not always possible to make out what is written on paper. To solve this problem helps service ABBYY FineReader. The service supports all popular formats. It is possible to convert documents from one format to another.

Firstly, ABBYY FineReader, an online text recognition tool, lacks the ability to search and apply filters to documents. Secondly, there is no possibility of creating backups on third-party cloud platforms.

A significant part of my work is office routine - working with documents, processing files of candidates for a particular position. FineReader is helping me out with text recognition. I do not know what to do without it. It saves a lot of time, while the finished text almost does not have to edit.

The program consumes a lot of resources. Because of this, I did not immediately understand why my computer began to work more slowly. Partially solved the problem like this: disabled autoload with Windows.

Excellent value for the money, I wish they could solve the "out of memory" issue.

This is an amazing piece of software for handling large amount of scanned documents. When it's working it's probably 5x-10x faster than Adobe Acrobat DC in recognizing text. Customer support is also very responsive.

It often runs out of memory on larger documents, regardless of how much free memory your PC has. This usually happening above 1,000 pages. I think the issue is that this is a 32bit software and cant address memory of over 4GB, but somehow Adobe could manage the same on 32bit (but of course Adobe is much slower). This could be quite annoying when you scanned in 1000+ pages and unable to save the file, not fun starting it again the scanning. We have tried the tips from customer support but it wont help. The workaround is to scan smaller documents and use Acrobat or similar to combine them.

This program is utilized in our office when we have to look up data and it needs to be printed on paper.

It is a no brainer, it does the work for you when downloading a document to print it is just available when you need it.

Very often I have to work with scans of documents written by hand. Reading some parts of the text sometimes becomes problematic. ABBY FineReader solves this problem. The service allows you to quickly recognize the text of the document. If necessary, you can convert a file from one format to another.

The first drawback of the ABBYY FineReader service that I want to mention is the inability to view the history of file changes. The second minus is no function for printing documents.

I work as a copywriter and I often have to scan some materials. With their recognition, FineReader does an excellent job. I often need to keep the original format of the letter / book / magazine, including pictures, drawings, tables, diagrams, graphics, etc. Previously, it was all a long time and was done manually in the Word. And now, it's not the first year that we bought this wonderful program Finereader from ABBYY and life has been adjusted.

The program is quite powerful, it requires good computers to work properly, if you have to work on a weak technique, the software is very slow and constantly freezes.

Our company is quite modern, but many customers and customers still work according to the old scheme: they create a document, print it out and bring it to us. They are so comfortable, and we have to transfer everything back to the computer. Manually, of course, we do not do this, but use FineReader. It does an excellent job with the conversion, but errors sometimes happen, especially with regard to the recognition of special characters. In general, I like everything.

The 14th version of the program does not work correctly: the automatic brightness adjustment broke, the document opens on the second attempt, the contrast change function disappears. Hope this is fixed.

I have used FineReader to OCR documents that have been mailed or faxed to me. Great way to archive documents digitally by converting to a doc then saving in the cloud.

ABBYY FineReader makes it super easy to run OCR on scanned documents. The accuracy is pretty good for standard documents and business cards.

The OCR engine was not the best at maintaining anything that is within tables such as invoices.

ABBYY reader allowed me to save time and effort. It is a great OCR tool that I highly recommend.

One of the best features that I like in ABBYY reader is the text recognition. This feature is so power that allowed me to convert all my scanned documents to editable text that can be searched through as well. Also, i like combing my documents together using this tool.

There is nothing that I don't like so far.

In our efforts since last year to move into a fully digital (paperless) office, we found that we're still far off. We still have several manual business processes that involve passing around physical paper/forms.

To be honest, I have no gripes with Abbyy. I've been using it for a long time now and it has really improved a lot (with more features) over the years.

The program without which I can't imagine my working day. Excellent and quickly recognizes printed text, the percentage of errors and inaccuracies is not critical. Simple enough to use, allows you to quickly process a large amount.

But the handwritten text perceives badly, it is not necessary to put special hopes. There are failures in the recognition of tables and various characters. Such sections of the text will have to be given more attention during editing.

I save a lot of time because it allows me to work with documents without having to transcript them, it really makes my job easier to do.

ABBYY digitalizes documents and images and allows me to save them in different formats, preserving the structure of said documents and images. It's simply amazing.

I wish this app had a more friendly user interface, at first I had a hard time learning how to use it.

I like the many available languages and a large number of functions that allow us to quickly recognize significant amounts of text. There is integration with popular cloud services.

It does not always work correctly, which is why it is necessary to double-check the received texts and make changes to them manually. Before use had to pay attention to its study.

I implemented it on my father's work place. They run a medical facility, and receive much documentation in paper. Being able to digitalize that paperwork in a pre-automated way has saved them a lot of time and effort, inceasing efficiancy, A LOT.

Have lots of documentation that needs to be digitalized? This is the tool you're looking for.

Handwriting recognition could improve. Some spanish characters are not well recognized, but this has been enhanced over the years.

In my work, I regularly use ABBYY Fine Reader for about 10 years. And for all this time with pleasure I see how the service develops, the algorithms for recognizing texts are being improved, new languages are added to the program.

The cost of this software is rather big, so if you plan to use the service rarely, it's better not to buy it.

This software allows me, without any additional effort, to obtain digitally printed copies of the necessary documents, recognizing texts in many different languages at high speed.

To open large files or convert them to other formats, I often have to wait a long time and it does not depend on the power of the computer. Sometimes it is difficult to recognize intricate diagrams.

I have known Fine Reader since about 2008 and all the time I watch how the company successfully develops the product. In this product there is a fairly wide range of functions, many different supported file formats for saving to the output and foreign languages. Actually, the process of scanning and recognizing text and objects, whether tables or images, is just as well worked out.

The most important disadvantage of the program is its price.

I bought ABBYY FineReader in order to digitize contracts, brochures and other documents. I like the fact that developers monitor their product: they constantly fix bugs, add new useful features and modify old ones. The product is just nice to use.

The program used to be very bad. Auto brightness and a preview of the result did not work there. It was possible to save documents in only a few formats, because most were not supported. Now the program has already been finalized, I did not find any shortcomings in the latest version.

It often happens that you photograph the text or customers send it in pdf format, and you need to edit it, but you can't do it. And then this wonderful program comes to the rescue. Download, install, open and see the window in which we are asked what action we want to get. All, we choose the necessary and the task can be considered fulfilled.

The cost of the program is not affordable for everyone. And I would also like to have a free trial version in full format. I would like to test all the functionality before the purchase for at least 2 weeks.

ABBYY FineReader perfectly recognizes text in tables and lists. It is practically not necessary to edit the result. ABBYY FineReader is a great way to save yourself from monotonous work.

It would be great if the program could recognize handwritten text. Now the program does not even recognize good handwriting. I also noticed that formatting the result is sometimes different from formatting in the original document.

In my work I have been using FineReader for a long time and if the first versions of the program recognized the texts badly, and I did not want to talk about formulas and special symbols - they had to be added manually, but now the situation has improved significantly. So, I easily recognize the texts typed by different, even outlandish fonts, and the technology of adaptive recognition helps to work with the whole document, and not its separate pages.

The cost of the software package is rather high in my opinion. Also, FineReader very heavily loads the processor.

I use the program, it's great! I like to recognize the text. Always convenient and fast. The software takes up little space and is installed on almost all computers. The program is especially good when I recognize the PDF format.

The full version with all the feature set costs a lot of money, but after a month of use, even in a small office, it pays off quite well.

I have been using Fine Reader ever since the 4 version appeared on sale and is very pleased with the result of the work. For example, if earlier only the text of excellent quality was suitable for recognition, now the photo from the phone is quite suitable for the program. I, for example, so easily recognize the preliminary contracts that customers bring. I just take pictures of them on my phone, transfer them to a computer and then easily process the document as I need.

Some characters, often found in my documents, Fine Reader has never learned to recognize. I have to insert such symbols in manual mode, which takes a lot of time.

I have been able to save time which is a very important factor in my business line, time suppose to be spent on transcribing document and also it was possible to digitalize old files

My first encounter with the software was when I used it to convert a file from pdf to word and that was ABBYY Finereader 11. Over the years, I upgraded and started using the OCR to convert images, scanned files, screenshot to any file format (pdf, doc, docx, txt etc) and this helps save time transcribing and also the recognition quality is great when it comes to recognizing languages and text font. I would strongly recommend this software to anyone.

After converting files (pdf/image) to word sometimes the texts gets scrambled and also it does not recognize special characters and some symbols so a little reviewing is required.

I was implementing an extraction engine for clients, to extract information from image-based PDFs to be used in a bespoke solution. I evaluated several competing solutions- some open source. But none came close to ABBYY. Though there were procurement and licensing issues, they worked with us and legal to work through it. We were even able to customize it with a licensing server that made keeping track of the license terms and use very easy.

The support was top notch

The price can be prohibitive

Most important features (OCR scanning/editing/converting and comparing documents) are features that make a difference in work.

It's an impressive software product for all sort of needs regarding OCR scanning, editing and converting. Most common use is converting photos/scans of documents to editable files and it's doing it fantastically. OCR is near perfect, depending on quality of input materials and fonts used in original material. Another very useful option is to compare 2 documents of different types and to check differences in them. You have to use it only once and You remain hooked on it.

The biggest problem this software product have is a price. Also marketing/promotional reasoning about it is so lame. Non-English letters can be problematic.

We are often sent scans of documents to us - of course, no one is going to rewrite it. On the Internet, websites recognize documents extremely badly. Another thing is ABYY FineReader, which supports standard formats - PDF, JPG, etc.

No matter how good the program is, it makes some mistakes. If this is an important document, I advise you to re-read it a couple of times. Or at least to throw in the spell checker, otherwise a stupid typo in the text may go unnoticed.

The FineReader software is one of the most used by me, I work with the program almost daily. It recognizes scanned pages without any difficulties, and also makes it possible to import Microsoft text just as easily.

Not all versions of ABBYY FineReader work equally well. Preview and automatic brightness settings do not function. No tool to connect multiple files into one.

I have been using the program for 3 years. Every day I have to transfer documents from paper to digital form. Fortunately, ABBYY FineReader has an auto-tuning feature. If I set up the program for each document on my own, I would spend several hours a day on it.

The program is good, but I have complaints about it. Almost every finished document has 3-4 errors. I always have to carefully check the result before sending it to the recipient.

ABBYY FineReader is a useful product that has some many benefits.

ABBYY OCR is great at converting documents from PDFs, useful if you want to do analysis of company statements or reports that only come in PDF.

-Getting the OCR right, and training characters is tedious, if you decide to use your own dictionaries.

Powerful OCR software for both PC and Mac! Works offline, and can do the job in batches hassle-free.

I've been using Abbyy Finereader for about a decade now (since I stumbled upon it with a friend who digitized a lot of his readings).

Now there are many other alternatives to using ABBYY as an OCR software, and most come as a free service (e.g., Google, Dropbox). It is even made easier now due to the proliferation of mobile phones. Scan a document via mobile phone, then use the online services for OCR, all for free now.

This software came bundled with my Fujitsu ScanSnap and I've been using it for over 12 years. The software is still running perfectly and converting my scans to PDF and OCR'ing them for future reference. It's been reliable throughout and it's easy to use and save file in multiple formats.

I don't have any cons considering this was free bundled software and it's done an excellent job.

Whenever someone comes to me and asks - Can you make this pdf editable? I always turn to my ABBYY fine reader which can take care of the job by OCR-ing the text and exporting to a word document.

ABBYY Fine Reader is my go to OCR software. It is able to take any image with text or a scanned document or a pdf and turn it into a text document that you can edit or make searchable by text. It has always worked well for most documents that I have needed to OCR.

Sometimes it has trouble with documents that have tables or complex image placement or layout but this can be a limitation of what you are exporting the OCR'd text to such as Microsoft Word can't handle the layout of some documents made in a different program then printed and scanned to create an image that you later need to OCR.

When you need to change something in the text, which I have only in paper form, you have to translate the file into Word. For this, I use ABBYY FineReader - the service recognizes the text fairly quickly. I am glad that the software does not violate the formatting.

Unfortunately, the result is worth checking for errors. The program often changes words, allows stupid blots and so on. Once I did not recheck the document - I had to get a reprimand from the authorities, because the contract was extremely important.

ABBYY FineReader is a leader in OCR software and that means that their OCR is the best. It can perform character recognition in any language. I am amazed by all the functions that this piece of software has but one thing is so cool and I use it almost every day to help me organize papers in my office. That is "Hot Folder" - every time you add some document into the desired folder it automatically converts it for you into any type of document you want. It can be editable PDF, Word or any other combination you would ever want. It can do it!

Sometimes it is struggling with some special letters from foreign languages like Cyrillic or some letters like čćšđž and many times I found that those are recognized wrong. Also, it tends to keep layout and formatting as the original document but sometimes it doesn't work well. Also, when you are trying to manually select area for the recognition it can be very hard and tiring to do all that manually because the software didn't recognize page properly. Most of the times that is not needed but when you are shooting or scanning in lower resolutions be prepared for that.

It’s convenient for me to use this software for scanning paper files and converting them into documents in PDF format, since the end result is always at a high level and it is extremely rare to make edits manually.

I do not like that under the terms of the subscription I can use the program on only one computer and mobile device. Some of the patterns are not well recognized.

ABBYY is a very good PDF reader. lightweight software compared to other solutions

Features are not very comprehensive such with the industry standards

We use it with a Fujitsu scanner and a PC with a 6 core i7 processor, and the results are fantastic.

FineReader is exceptional at doing OCR and pairs well with a high-end scanner and strong CPU. It supports multi-cores, and with the right Intel processor will do an exceptional job running OCR on thousands of pages in short order.

It takes a bit of tweaking with the scan settings to find just the right setup for your hardware so that the OCR process runs as quickly as possible while giving you great accuracy.

Saved our department considerably time, effort, manpower, and drudgery of otherwise having to manually data enter tens of thousands of pages.

Once configured, worked seamlessly with high page per minute batch scanning hardware. Respected DPI and corrected for skew.

initial configuration was daunting. So many options to configure. Much of it was trial and error. But it was good to have that many options available to fine tune the resulting text.

I have been working with text recognition software for a long time, but ABBYY FineReader surprised me. I have not seen before that digitization was done so quickly. I also like that the program understands not only text, but also recognizes tables.

In general, I am satisfied with the program, but the program confuses some symbols. The most frequent problem is when the program instead of zero writes the other letter.

The program works great when converting my scanned text documents to PDF, saving a significant amount of my time. I like very much that I can save files in various formats.

Handwriting recognition should be improved. The preview does not work, there is no tool to merge several files into one, often manual editing is required.

I have been using this software for many years and to be honest, I have never tried any other. You can do OCR from files such as pdf or from pictures. It supports several character types (languages), but I've used only English. I like that after analyzing a file, it offers results in a way that it marks what it thinks is a picture, a table or something else. Besides this, it gives you an option to choose this regions manually. So if it accidentally marked an area as a table, you can easy mark it as picture and it will regenerate the output.

I would like to see it support much higher input file resolutions. Also, as good as this OCR software can be, it is not perfect. There will always be document parts which will be badly recognized and you'll have to update some parts of the content manually.

This is one of the most frequently used programs by me, which I regularly use to recognize scanned text pages of documents. Copes with PDF conversion. Support all popular formats.

Preview does not work and automatically adjust the brightness, the lack of a tool with which you can combine several files into one. Difficulty with pattern recognition.

There are individuals who continue to send scans of the text instead of the usual file. To edit a document, you have to use a program that translates the image into the usual docx format. The FineReader service does a good job with text recognition.

You can't do without mistakes - it is advisable to reread the resulting text at least once. Surely there are a couple of typos in it. In addition, the formatting is often broken during the translation.

I like the fact that FineReader has a lot of available languages and a large set of functions that make it easy to perform text recognition. Integration with large cloud services works well.

Sometimes it is necessary to make some edits manually, and for the full use of the software I needed to spend time studying using additional tutorials.

FineReader perfectly copes with the recognition and transformation of the text, which is present on the screenshots or simply scanned documents, pages of books or magazines. There is integration with popular cloud services. Support 193 languages.

In rare cases, the software does not cope with character recognition in PDF documents. There is no option that would allow viewing the file change history.

I can only recommend it. Have been using it for quite some time and there is nothing else so feature-heavy! If you need OCR for your documents, this is the right tool for you.

Excellent OCR software with abundant features. I personally use it as a first step in OCR and subsequently edit the result once again, but it helps out massively. It is very practical that you can select specific areas and mark them as text, table or picture... Language support is also excellent allowing you to select almost any language.

The result might be sometimes rather unclean requiring a lot of additional work, but that is mostly due to very messy source files.

For text recognition on document scans, I use the ABBYY FineReader service. The platform supports 193 languages, it is convenient that you can convert a file from one format to another, and also there is integration with large cloud services.

No access control feature. You can not add comments to documents that are in the cloud storage. The function of viewing the file change history is not implemented. But overall, this is probably the best program with such wide functionality.

Thanks to ABBYY FineReader, I had the opportunity to eliminate the need for a personalized set of printed copies to receive them in digital form, easily performing scanning using this software.

It often takes too much time to open massive files or convert them to other formats. No tool to combine multiple documents into one.

We have replaced the habit of typing from scratch to only editing with an initial copy accurate close to 99 percent.

When it comes to printed texts of which we have no soft copy, earlier the only way to make it digital was typing (not talking about image formats like jpg). With ABBYY FineReader, I have reduced the amount of typing by almost 99 percent. Often, customers come to us with printed papers asking for reproducing the same with a bit of editing. We now just scan the copy, upload to ABBYY FineReader, and get the final output in MS Word format. I wish I should have known about this technology much earlier.

The software is constantly improving and there is always a room for improvement in deciphering text more accurately when the input given not so clear.

Almost every day I have to scan quite large volumes of documents, which, strictly speaking, FineReader copes perfectly well, providing high quality scanning in the shortest possible time.

Even on a fairly powerful personal computer, opening large files, not to mention converting them to other formats, often takes a considerable amount of time.

I fell in love with it from the first scanned page. It beautifully recognizes tables, graphics, creates multi-page documents. In principle, I do not have to correct too much. And so for years, nothing changes, the efficiency of recognition is VERY high, and speed also. Competition left behind. One of my favourities programs

Maybe the price is a bit high, but it's a combine and we get great software for that money.

Thanks to the use of ABBYY FineReader, our company managed to save a significant amount of time on entering information, launching scanned files and eventually getting them in many different formats. With FineReader there is no need to manually type huge scanned pieces of text - everything is now done almost automatically.

In the presence of poor quality scanned documents, some errors arise that need to be corrected manually by yourself, spending a considerable amount of time for this.

To work with the documentation, I use the capabilities of the ABBYY FineReader application. This tool allows you to easily and quickly recognize text from scans and photos, and this information can be immediately edited. There is a useful function for me to convert documents from one format to another. You can compare two documents for inconsistencies in the text.

The main drawback of ABBYY FineReader is the inability to view the history of document changes in your account. The second minus is that there is no tool for merging several files into one.

I often have to digitize documents through FineReader. Sometimes I have to work with crumpled documents that are not even easy to read. But surprisingly, FineReader copes well. Of course, there are errors when digitizing, but it's still better than typing the text yourself.

The program recognizes English text well, but works worse with other languages. Often characters change to numbers. This is not such a big minus, but you have to replace these characters manually.

Earlier I had to work a lot with the documents of our company and client contracts. For example, the customer brought a paper version of the contract, I scanned it, recognized it, rules of error, etc. And all this happened with the help of Fine Reader professional versions. I also like that you can translate and save in various formats. For example, text in the format djwu or pdf, and even not copied, after carrying out the text through this program you can save the text in Word and use it anywhere and anyhow. In general, this is a simple and convenient program, albeit not cheap.

I happened that some versions of ABBYY Fine Reader did not recognize the printer and I had to reinstall the program or run to a colleague and ask him to print the necessary document processed in the application. In doing so, I had a standard Canon printer, so there should not be any problems.

While doing my studies, it really helped me a lot by allowing me to access some files and thus modify them or extract paragraphs that I needed for some presentations or some projects.

1.- easy to install and with a small size in relation to other similar programs.

I do not think it has negative things, but some things to improve, such as some faults that can have when recognizing the characters in a pdf, but it is not something so serious considering that much of the work is done very well .

I want to share my impressions of using ABBYY FineReader. I am most pleased with the opportunity to work not only with a whole sheet, but also with a dedicated block, and with a whole range of scanned documents at the same time.

The cost of installing any version of the program is quite high, and technical support does not always answer questions quickly.

The most important pluses of Fine Reader are simplicity of use and a lot of useful functions. That there are only built-in dictionaries, allowing you to immediately check the spelling.

Since this product is said so, "knows" many languages, then when recognizing (say Russian text) with the damaged part of the scan, it puts either Arabic letters, or any symbols.

I believe that this is an indispensable tool for accountants and secretaries, because it saves time on scanned documents, which need to be brought to an editable form. The program does an excellent job even with scans of poor quality.

Obtained after recognition of the text often with errors and requires scrupulous editing. The program freezes in the automatic scan language detection mode.

If we talk about texts, they are recognized perfectly, and the program works very quickly, does not hang and allows you to save the result in several formats.

There are many problems with drawings. If the picture has text, or something similar to it (maybe just a vertical wand: it will then be 1 or ! And maybe another character), which is a lot of inconvenience.

It is convenient for me to use, especially pleasing that you can scan with one button, and not perform many operations. For example, in a few days I was able to scan and recognize a book of 400 pages, by the way, in no other program so quickly it did not work. The program can be overpowered and not possessing a special mind.

The minus is that at the moment you can't scan and process the manuscript, which sometimes happens to be very important. Can someday do this function. In all other minuses I did not notice.

I've used Fine Reader, probably, 10 years and with pleasure I observe, how the program develops. It's cool that now it has the ability to recognize texts in almost 200 languages and for many of them there is a spelling checker. I often have to recognize scanned texts in my work, which clients send in a variety of formats and Fine Reader perfectly copes with all documents.

If you buy a program for personal use (for example, for a student), then its price seems overstated.

I have been using Abbby FineReader for few years and it is awsome how much it simplifies my office life. I recognize printscreens, sacnned pdfs and it really can speed my work a lot.

Does what it designed to in really simple way
