KEY FEATURES
Comprehensive set of recognition technologies
With OCR toolkit integration, applications can extract machine printed text in over 200 languages as well as hand printed text, optical marks and barcode values.
Powerful PDF processing tools
Versatile APIs allow processing many PDF types and converting scanned documents, TIFFs, JPEGs or image-only PDFs into different searchable PDF and PDF/A files.
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
AI, ML and other advanced technologies provide outstanding recognition accuracy for multi-language documents and deliver searchable and editable documents that reflect their originals.
Multi-core CPUs, Cloud and Virtual Machines support
Support for document processing in parallel threads on multi-core CPUs, deployment in the cloud and virtual environments guarantees fast, flexible and scalable processing.
Image import
The OCR developer kit can receive input from many sources. Images saved as TIFFs, JPEGs, PDFs or other image formats as well as digitally created Office documents can be imported while photographed text or scanned paper documents can be processed directly from the memory.
Image pre-processing
To increase recognition accuracy, the image quality is enhanced during the pre-processing step. The SDK applies a wide range of imaging functions such as image rotation, binarization, de-skewing and others to optimize the image quality.
Document analysis
With AI-based algorithms and ABBYY Adaptive Document Recognition Technology (ADRT®), the OCR toolkit analyzes the layout of each individual page as well as structure of the document as a whole. This process defines the areas for text recognition and delivers information about layout and formatting elements for the final document reconstruction at the end of the OCR process.
Recognition
With the highest accuracy, ABBYY FineReader Engine SDK extracts multilingual machine-printed and hand-printed text (OCR, ICR) as well as various other information including, checkmarks (OMR) and barcodes (OBR). By creating own dictionaries or recognition patterns, the developers can increase the recognition accuracy of specific languages, unusual characters or fonts.
Text export and document reconstruction
The OCR SDK offers many options for exporting recognition results and different levels of document layout reconstruction. Numerous storage formats are available: text, XML, different types of PDF and PDF/A formats, editable Microsoft® Office documents and other saving formats.
