ABBYY FineReader
Engine 12
The most comprehensive OCR SDKfor software developers

The AI-powered software development kit ABBYY FineReader
Engine allows you to integrate ABBYY’s multilingual text
recognition, PDF conversion, barcode reading, and documentclassification technologies into your applications. This way, you
can quickly create highly accurate text extraction and document
conversion solutions—with low programming effort.
Whether you are a software vendor, system integrator, or an enterprise company developing yourown IT systems, ABBYY OCR SDK will help you create highly accurate text and data processing
applications.
Create desktop or server applications for Windows, Linux, or Mac and deploy them in the Cloud oron Virtual Machines. The diverse OCR features can add value to applications within many areas,such as DMS, ERP, RPA, insurance, banking, healthcare, legal, and machine vision.

Comprehensive set of recognition technologies
With the help of convolutional neural networks, end-to-end recognition, and deep learningfor language models, the SDK offers highly accurate recognition of machine-printed
text (OCR) and hand-printed text (ICR) that can be performed as full-page or field-level
recognition. Also, it provides recognition of barcodes (OBR) and checkmarks (OMR).

Powerful PDF processing tools
The SDK offers document conversion into searchable PDF and PDF/A formats. When
importing PDFs, the missing text layer can be injected while PDF properties arepreserved. XML data can be extracted from imported PDF/A-3 files as well as inserted
when saving to PDF/A-3 formats.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML)Powerful AI- and ML-based technologies combined with ABBYY’s ADRT and othertechnologies detect the logical structure of a document and identify its formatting
elements, such as table of contents, headers, footers, fonts, and font styles to precisely
re-create the original document.

Multi-core CPUs and parallel processing
When converting many pages such as complete document archives or books,
developers can leverage the SDK’s flexible and scalable architecture. By using multicore CPUs and processing images in parallel on multiple threads, the OCR steps canbe performed significantly faster.

Advanced image pre-processing functions
Image pre-processing increases the recognition accuracy by optimizing the image forOCR. Even low-quality images can deliver best OCR results after de-skewing, rotation,
distortion correction, text line straightening, page splitting, adaptive binarization, ISOnoise reduction, and other image correction steps.

Recognition profiles for fast implementation
Predefined processing profiles contain pre-set parameters for the best OCR results
within frequent recognition tasks. They can be used in place of manually fine-tuning
the recognition system and provide for faster SDK integration.

Document classification with machine learning
Advanced classification algorithms in FineReader Engine leverage machine learningand OCR technologies, and enable applications to automatically categorize documents
into different classes.

Support for cloud and virtual environments
In addition to on-premise deployment, software developers have the option to deploy
their applications in virtual environments or host their offerings on cloud platforms like
Microsoft Azure or Amazon Web Services.

User interface components
Developers can use ABBYY’s ActiveX-based visual components to easily integrate userinterface into variety of applications such as ERP, ECM, or DMS systems, providing theirusers with the possibility to validate documents, access the recognition results, andedit text and directly in the application.

Sample code library
A comprehensive set of code samples provides instructions on how to use theOCR SDK, illustrates different FineReader Engine technologies, and can be used fordevelopment projects. Each library section contains code snippets accompanied bysystematic instructions on how to perform the relevant task.

Detailed SDK documentation and support
Detailed documentation helps to streamline integration. Developers have accessto additional information through ABBYY’s Knowledge Base. In addition to theseresources, ABBYY technical support is available to you during your free trial.

Compare documents function
The new functionality “Compare Documents” allows you to compare two versions of
the same documents and detect differences in their content. The documents can be indifferent formats, e.g., Microsoft Word, PDF, TIF, JPEG, and any other of the supported
input documents formats.
