Leveraging the latest, award-winning ABBYY OCR technology, the solution accurately reads texts in 37 languages including Latin, Cyrillic, Armenian, and Greek characters, and supports recognition of multilingual and multi-page files. In addition, FineReader Online processes documents with any combination of popular fonts and accurately re-creates formatting elements such as bulleted and numbered lists, columns, and tables.
The secure online OCR service from ABBYY requires no additional software to be installed and is accessible to any web user, no matter which PC, laptop, mobile device or operating system they use. The service is offered for free up to 20 pages per month, with additional page processing available on a pay-per-use basis.
FineReader Online provides an intuitive interface for converting images. The whole process takes three simple steps: uploading an image to the service, setting up recognition languages and an output format, and receiving the resulting document directly from the user account page.
