ABBYY FineReader

Brilliant character recognition software.

To obtain digital copies of written or printed documents it is rather common to use the device known as scanner, specially in office environments and people that have to pass many documents to digital format. Even though there are other methods to complete the process without having to type the document anew, like taking a digital photograph or faxing the document to an e-mail address. The general problem in all these cases is that since the resulting file is an image, it is impossible to modify the documents with a text editor.

   If we want to modify the text or data that any of these documents contain, it will be necessary to resort to specialized software like ABBYY FineReader, an advanced OCR (Optical Character Recognition) application, that allows to recognize the text and images contained in any image, PDF document or document that we scan directly.

  Some of the features of ABBYY FineReader are:
- Optical character recognition in many languages: English, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, Finnish, Czech, Hungarian, Russian... and the majority of Oriental languages (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc... ).
- Automatically detects a documents language.
- Valid for artificial languages (Esperanto, Ido,...), programming languages (BASIC, C++, Java, COBOL, etc...) and simple chemical formulas.
- Automatically corrects image distortion and other defects.
