Why ABBYY OCR technology?

Document conversion is a key step in gaining access to paper-based information and integrating it into digital workflows. OCR technology allows the user to quickly convert scanned documents into searchable, editable documents or PDFs. The OCR step is typically conducted only once in a lifecycle of a document, therefor the quality of the recognition and conversion is of a high importance. ABBYYs premium OCR technology offers high-quality recognition results as well as a broad set of additional features.

ABBYY's OCR software products and Software Development Kits (SDKs) for the Linux platform are appreciated by the Linux developer community since many years.
