Intelligent OCR
CameraOCR Collect text information while working remotely and then convert it with FineReader. Use your digital camera or the camera on your mobile phone to capture text from an article, a presentation or other document. ABBYY FineReader uses special algorithms and pre-processing tools designed for camera images to better "read" the text.**
ABBYY ADRT® ABBYY’s Adaptive Document Recognition Technology (ADRT) intelligently reconstructs not only text, but complex, multipage document structures. For example, convert a document with a table of contents, headers and footers, page numbers or footnotes and ADRT will preserve the intelligent formatting and linking when saving to popular formats like Microsoft Word, Excel, PDF or OpenOffice.org Writer. The result? Less repetitive work such as changing dates or page numbers in footers located on multiple pages.
