ABBYY FineReader 4.0 Sprint Software Complements UMAX Scanners

ABBYY USA, a member of the ABBYY Group, today reported it had reached an agreement with UMAX Data Systems in Taiwan to ship ABBYY FineReader software with UMAX scanners worldwide. According to the agreement, selected UMAX scanners will be bundled with ABBYY FineReader 4.0 Sprint OCR as well as a trial version of ABBYY FineReader Professional, the latest version of ABBYY software, which includes many advanced OCR recognition features.

 

“We are glad to bundle our software with UMAX products,” said Sergey Andreyev, Chief Executive Officer, ABBYY. “A quality scanner bundled with quality OCR software gives double quality. This agreement will result in added-value for UMAX customers and enhance the reputation of both of our companies.”

 

“We chose ABBYY FineReader technology because of its outstanding character recognition quality, its easy-to-use interface and the superior results even when converting poor quality documents,” said Weber Chuang, Assistant Vice President of UMAX Data Systems. “We are convinced that our customers are getting the finest OCR software available.”

 

ABBYY FineReader 4.0 Sprint is based on the ABBYY FineReader engine.

The FineReader engine was developed from the principles of Integrity, Purposefulness and Adaptability (IPA). IPA technologies is responsible for improvements in FineReader software with regard to the recognition accuracy for both high and low quality documents. IPA also allows FineReader software to preserve the formatting of scanned documents. Features such as tables and other images are maintained within the processed document.
