A lot of businesses are struggling with their document process and management relentlessly and are at times searching for other solutions that can simplify their work and much productive all together. It is just kind of funny that most businesses out there are still depending on hard or physical-copy document processing system that can be difficult to handle. Thanks to optical character recognition (OCR) technology that greatly improved the way individuals and businesses manage information and documents.

ABBYY OCR technology allows almost everyone to convert various document types like PDF files, scanned paper documents and digital camera captured images into searchable and editable data. Simply imagine that you have a paper document, for instance, a magazine article, PDF contract or brochure. Apparently, a scanner is cannot make the information ready for editing. All a scanning device can do is to produce an image of the document and nothing more.

To extract data from a camera image or scanned document, you need ABBYY OCR software that will allow you to discern letters on an image and then convert them into words, thus, allowing you to access the original document content and have it edited. This makes it easy for you to process documents, saving you much time since there is no need for you to type the full text just to have a copy of a particular document.

The exact means that enable humans to distinguish objects are thus far to be understood, but the fundamental principles are known by scientists already and these are adaptability, integrity and purposefulness. All these constitute the central part of OCR solutions from ABBYY, enabling users to replicate human like or natural recognition.

Text recognition through ABBYY OCR software solutions usually occurs once the document image structure has been analyzed by the program. For instance, ABBYY FineReader OCR breaks up the page into elements like blocks of images, texts, tables and many others. The lines are segregated into words then into characters. The program compares the characters with a pattern image set once they have been recognized, advancing manifold hypotheses regarding what a particular character is.

Pointing towards the said hypotheses, ABBYY FineReader OCR software solutions assesses different variations of lines breaking into words and words being converted into characters. After a number of probabilistic hypotheses have been processed, a program finally decides to present the recognized text.

Additionally, OCR solutions from ABBYY offer dictionary support for more than 30 languages. This allows secondary analysis of text elements on an easy to understand word level. With the dictionary support feature, the OCR software ensure much accurate recognition and analysis of documents, simplifying further recognition results verification.

You do not need to be an expert in OCR in order to appreciate the benefits of ABBYY OCR applications. Using ABBYY software programs are easy too. The process generally takes three steps: (1) Open or scan a document; (2) recognize it; and (3) have it saved in your preferred format (i.e. PDF, DOC, RTF, TXT, HTML, etc.) or directly export data to a Microsoft Office application like Word.
