Key Features of ABBYY Scan Station:

• Intelligent Scanning Technology — ABBYY Scan Station scans documents in batches. Multi-page documents in each batch can be separated according to specified parameters such as number of pages, empty separator pages, or barcodes. The processing settings are saved in special profiles, Batch Types. Each profile includes scanning, image processing, document separation and export settings making work with different document types easy and efficient.
• Image Quality Enhancement — ABBYY Scan Station provides a wide range of tools for image correction. For example, a user can crop, rotate the image, redact sensitive information on it, remove noise and invert the colors to improve the look of the document image before saving. These tools also help to ensure better recognition results if the scanned documents are intended for processing by Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software.
• Compatibility with a Variety of Scanning Devices — ABBYY Scan Station supports most of the scanners with TWAIN, ISIS and WIA interfaces.
• Flexible Export and Saving Options — Scanned images can be saved to PDF, TIFF, JPEG, JPEG2000, BMP, PNG, PCX and DCX formats and exported to folders and FTP folders. This allows users to easily transfer scanned documents to electronic archives, Enterprise Content Management and Document Management Systems or export them to ABBYY Recognition Server or ABBYY FlexiCapture for further processing.
• Single Scanning Interface – It is a common practice to use different scanner models within one company. ABBYY Scan Station allows using the same settings regardless of the scanner type. This makes it an essential tool for creating a common electronic archive.
