However, the whole process is handled competently so that, for example, document metadata (title, author, key words) can also be extracted and saved with the final document.
As with all OCR packages on the market, this is now standard. Indeed, similar tweaks run throughout ABBYY FineReader 9.0's entire new interface - going for what ABBYY calls its Results-Driven Interface: this includes a QuickTasks window for such things as converting images to Word or scanning to PDF, and these are also available from the Windows Start menu.ĪBBYY FineReader 9.0 integrates well with the latest version of Office, and the QuickPreview is a welcome addition.Īs with previous versions, ABBYY FineReader 9.0 handles PDFs both as items that can be converted to editable documents or as the end format for scanned items. These were introduced in ABBYY FineReader 8.0, but now have been developed so that a photograph can be converted to a Word document with a single click. Like its competitor, ABBYY FineReader 9.0 also works well with photos taken from digital cameras, providing tools that can automatically remove distortion caused by page curves or misaligned books. Otherwise, accuracy for straightforward scanned documents was comparable with OmniPage Professional 16.
In fact, ABBYY FineReader 9.0 now does a good job of handling such things as headers and footers, footnotes and lists - these appear as an appropriate part of a final Word document rather than simply being placed in a text frame on the main page.ĪBBYY FineReader 9.0's tendency to try and strip text out of images, however, resulted in a number of errors in our tests, misrecognising graphics that would be better left as images.
