The ABBYY FineReader Engine’s API delivers a variety of powerful document processing functions and technologies, including:
ABBYY OCR technologies are worldwide famed for outstanding recognition accuracy in European and Asian languages.
Processing speed as the important recognition quality parameter and ABBYY FineReader Engine 10 provides several ways of its enhancement:
ABBYY FineReader Engine 10 new API offers a set of pre-defined profiles for the most popular recognition tasks such as “document conversion for archiving”, “document conversion for content reuse”, “barcode recognition” and more. The profiles include optimal sets of processing parameters to provide the easy start and the best OCR quality without the need for manual system tuning or long learning curve. The manual tuning is also available for specific custom solutions.
ABBYY recognition engine is a stable basis for truly international, localizable and full-featured applications.
Advanced document recognition technology (ADRTTM) recognizes and retains lots of document elements for correct document structure and layout reconstruction:

With wide spread of embedded photo-cameras taking photos becomes a popular way of digitizing documents. Photographed documents require special image pre-processing for better OCR. ABBYY FineReader Engine 10 allows the following Camera OCRTM features:
ABBYY recognition SDK supports popular programming languages and environments: VB.NET, C#, VB 5.0, 6.0; C++ 4.x and above; VB Script, JAVA Script and other scripting languages; Borland Delphi 2.0 and above, JAVA. FineReader Engine 10 includes samples implemented in each of this language.
The ActiveX-based visual components provide easy integration of user interface elements to existing applications. Developers can give users direct but controlled access to recognition results and functions for validation or checking of documents.
ABBYY FineReader Engine includes command line interface sample, which could be easily used for integration and running SDK functions by direct commands. CLI supports variety of features; you may run your own OCR service and process recognition and document conversion without development of special application.
ABBYY’s achievements in document analysis makes possible to create unique full-featured document structure API. It includes interfaces for manipulating variety of the whole document elements such as document sections, incuts, running titles, footnotes and others. This is a great step from a single page structure to the whole document structure which is more complicated and difficult to recognize. Now you can work with document as an entire object with lots of new opportunities, for example:
You may set your own recognition languages based on any characters from available alphabets and their combinations, with custom dictionaries. ABBYY recognition engine includes an easy sample how to use this functionality.
Useful tools that enhance a developer's ability to interact with SDK recognition API and manipulate the recognition process on the core level.
