ABBYY Recognition Server 3.0 System Administrator’s Guide
Introduction
ABBYY Recognition Server is a powerful yet easy document capture system that allows organizations to establish a cost
efficient process of converting paper to searchable and reusable electronic documents. ABBYY Recognition Server
provides functionality for scanning, optical character recognition, document sorting and indexing and delivering the
documents into archives, enterprise content management and search systems.
Thanks to its scalable extendable architecture, ABBYY Recognition Server can quickly process huge volumes of
documents while remaining simple to deploy and use. No matter what the project time constrains are, ABBYY
Recognition Server will ensure the work is done on schedule and with minimal effort.
ABBYY Recognition Server 3.0:
• Takes care of the whole document capture process
ABBYY Recognition Server covers all steps of the document capture, from scanning to image enhancement,
indexing and automated routing of documents to archiving and content management systems.
• Based on the ABBYY awardwinning technology
ABBYY Recognition Server delivers a highly accurate result, thanks to the ABBYY awardwinning OCR
technology, which supports recognition of texts in more than 190 OCR languages including Chinese, Japanese,
Korean and Arabic. ABBYY Recognition Server converts images and scanned documents into a variety of
output formats suitable for archiving, sharing and editing, such as PDF, PDF/A, XML, RTF, and Microsoft®
Office formats.
• Designed for processing high volumes of documents
ABBYY Recognition Server is known for its unmatched scalability. This is an unrivaled solution easily
extendable to multicore CPUs or multiple servers, and therefore able to cope with any volume of documents,
processing them in scheduled hours or roundtheclock. The priority management and advanced scheduling
features allow the administrator to control the order in which the documents are processed and utilize
hardware resources in the most efficient way.
• Quick in deployment and easy in use
ABBYY Recognition Server has an intuitive interface and can be set up and operated without preceding
training. Processing stages that require minimal user involvement, such as OCR and document conversion are
automated, and convenient tools are provided for manual operations like scanning, indexing and verification.
• Compatible with scanners and ECM systems
ABBYY Recognition Server will supplement scanning devices and backend software used in the organization
with powerful document capture functionality. Integration with a scanner or another application can be done
in various ways, from exchanging emails to scripted routing and tight bonding via API.
• Offers readymade connectors to Microsoft and Google Search systems
ABBYY Recognition Server not only acts as a standalone document capture solution, but also connects as a
background OCR server to the enterprise search systems such as Google Search Appliance™ and Microsoft
Office SharePoint® Server, as well as Windows® Desktop Search enabling the aforementioned systems with
the ability to index and search through the content of image documents.
