ABBYY FlexiCapture Engine 9.0 includes a new API section – named FlexiCaptureProcessor - which provides direct access to FlexiCapture technology. This low-level API supplements the existing high-level tools of  working within the FlexiCapture projects which were introduced in the previous version.

• Custom Image Source. In FlexiCapture Engine 8.0 the source images can be loaded into the Engine from files only. In the new version, it is also possible to implement your own external image queue (custom image source), which will either return references to files on demand or provide the source images as a stream in memory. Results in increased flexibility, security and performance.
• Access to a remote storage location. By default, string references to templates, images, etc. are interpreted as references to files in the file system. However, it is possible to define a custom Reference Manager which will resolve references either as a path to a file in the local file system or as the binary representation of the requested object in the form of a stream in memory. This approach may be used to organize work with a remote storage location accessed using any protocol.
