Verification Station
This is a client station which allows you to proofread the recognition results. The Verification Station automatically
receives the recognized pages that must be verified from the Server Manager. You can connect several Verification
Stations to one Server Manager to speed up the verification process.
Indexing Station
This is a client station which allows you to assign a document type and meaningful attributes to recognized documents,
so that they can be easily classified and found later in archives and document management systems. The Indexing Station
automatically receives the recognized documents that must be indexed from the Server Manager. You can connect
several Indexing Stations to one Server Manager to speed up the indexing process.
Remote Administration Console
This is a Microsoft® Management Console (MMC) snap-in that provides a common administration interface for
configuration and monitoring Recognition Server.
COM-based API
This API allows you to integrate Recognition Server with other applications in the local area network. The COM-based
API component should be installed on the computer on which the client application will run. It can also be distributed
together with the client application. See more information about the distribution of the COM-based API in the Open API
Help file.
Web Service
This component provides a Web Service API for integrating the Recognition Server with remote applications over the
HTTP protocol.
All the Recognition Server components can be installed on the same or on different computers in the local area network.
Additional components
ABBYY Recognition Server includes 2 additional components: the Google Search Appliance Connector and Microsoft
Search IFilter, — these allow the Server Manager to interact with Google and Microsoft search systems. Image files the
contents of which cannot be indexed directly are sent to ABBYY Recognition Server for OCR. The recognized text data is
returned to the search server and included in the full-text index.
Google Search Appliance Connector
This component allows interacting with the Google Search Appliance system.
Microsoft Search IFilter
This component allows interacting with Microsoft Search Server, Microsoft Office SharePoint Server and Microsoft
Windows Search.
Workflows, Jobs, and Documents
ABBYY Recognition Server operates with three basic entities: workflows, jobs, and documents.
A workflow is a set of processing parameters that are to be applied to image files. Recognition Server can handle several
workflows with different parameters. Each workflow corresponds to a unique input source (a folder or a mailbox). All
the images that appear in the source folder/mailbox are processed using the parameters of the corresponding workflow.
See Creating a New Workflow.
ABBYY Recognition Server allows setting a schedule and a priority for the workflow. For example, a workflow for old
documents can be given the low priority and scheduled to run only at night and on weekends, while a workflow for
urgently-required documents will be given the high priority and set to run constantly. A schedule is set in the Input tab
of the Workflow Properties dialog of the Remote Administration Console. See also Creating a Schedule in the Main
Help.
