Key Features
Superior Recognition Accuracy and Layout Retention –
ABBYY FineReader 9.0 delivers highest recognition accuracy and
layout retention, even on difficult-to-read and low-quality
images such as faxes. In the 9.0 version, overall accuracy
has been increased by as much as 35 percent**, especially on
documents containing tables, legal documents, multilingual
documents, and digital camera captured images. With the new
document analysis algorithms, it also produces an improvement
in layout retention by up to 32 percent**.
Re-creation of Document Logical Structure and Formatting –
With its intelligent Adaptive Document Recognition Technology
(ADRT), ABBYY FineReader 9.0 analyzes the entire document rather
than each page individually, and precisely reconstructs it with
original layout, style and formatting attributes.
By intelligently “seeing” the document in its entirety,
the program identifies various parts of document structure such
as heading, body text, columns, tables, graphics, footnotes and
page numbers and reconstructs them as native Microsoft Office
formatting elements for easy editing. Text flows, logical structure
and original style of a document are maintained across multiple
pages. FineReader 9.0 also retains additional formatting elements
including line numbering, signatures, and stamps found in legal
and other documents.
Multilingual Document Recognition –
ABBYY FineReader continues to lead in OCR language support and
recognizes documents on 179 languages, including Latin, Cyrillic,
Greek, Armenian, scripting languages, and chemicals formulas.
FineReader 9.0 simplifies OCR process by automatically detecting
the language of a document and also allows users to select any
combination of languages to recognize multilingual documents.
It also includes dictionaries with spell-check capabilities for
36 languages. With the integrated Microsoft Word custom dictionary,
FineReader also correctly recognizes texts including user specific
words.
In addition, ABBYY FineReader supports barcode recognition,
including recognition of PDF-417 2D barcodes, ideal for companies
that need to process and index a large number of documents for
archiving.
Results-Driven Interface –
ABBYY FineReader 9.0 offers a redesigned Results-Driven Inteface
that simplifies and shortens the recognition process and automatically
highlights the best strategies for optimizing OCR results. Key
functions of the program are easily accessible at the “top-level” with
less need to search through detailed “drop down menus”.
Key functionality is grouped together in special dialogue boxes
to make it easier to perform key tasks. The new interface reduces
the number of mouse clicks needed for popular document conversion
tasks by as much as 40 percent**.
ABBYY FineReader 9.0 interface comes with pre-programmed QuickTasks
for the most common document processing routines, such as “Scan
to PDF”, “Scan to Microsoft Word”, and “Convert
PDF/ Images to Microsoft Word”. With the QuikTasks, you
can perform complete conversion tasks with a single click of
the mouse. You can also create their own customized tasks using
the Automation Manager tool.
Second-Generation Digital Camera OCR –
FineReader is the first recognition application that has introduced
digital camera OCR capabilities. ABBYY FineReader intelligently
identifies photographed documents and applies its adaptive recognition
technology for camera images to ensure the best OCR results.
With the digital camera OCR, FineReader gives you wider possibilities
to quickly capture documents and convert them into editable and
searchable electronic files even when you are on the go.
Using a digital camera for OCR, you can overcome the limitations
set by traditional scanning devices: capture text from large
posters or pages from thick, bound documents such as books, which
are hard to scan.
Accurate, Fast and Secure PDF Conversion –
ABBYY FineReader 9.0 is an ideal PDF conversion and creation
tool. The key PDF conversion features include:
Creation of Searchable PDFs – FineReader keeps the text
information as a separate layer from the image (text under image),
making it available for search and retrieval purposes.
Creation of Secured PDFs – ABBYY FineReader supports PDF
security settings and allows users to set document Open and Permissions
passwords in order to prevent unauthorized opening of documents
or to restrict certain operations. It also complies with the
latest encryption standards and respects access right protection.

created in FineReader are optimized for publishing on the Web.
In addition, with ABBYY FineReader you can create tagged PDF
files optimized for handheld devices and screen-reader utilities.

FineReader 9.0 includes ABBYY Screenshot Reader utility for instant
OCR. Screenshot Reader is an easy-to-use utility that lets you
quickly capture screen images and allows you to perform “instant” OCR
from the screen. It is ideal for pulling text, tables, or images
from Web browser pages, flash presentations, Windows Explorer
file menus, or error messages. Screenshot Reader is also an ideal “quick
OCR” tool when you want to pull small quotes or a few sentences
of text from a PDF or image file. ABBYY Screenshot Reader ships

for registered users.
