ABBYY Recognition Server 2.0, AddOn

Recognition Server 2.0, 1 Quad Core Processing Station add-on, multilingual ABBYY Recognition Server is a robust server-based solution for automating the recognition and document/PDF conversion process in enterprise environments. It is a scalable, reliable and rapidly deployable solution for high performance delivery of optical character recognition (OCR) functionalities in environments where centralised processing management and greater flexibility integration is needed. OCR functions can be used together with existing infrastructures and third-party applications.

Automated OCR und Document Conversion accessible from multiple points
ABBYY Recognition Server 2.0 can be accessed by many users, MFPs and workgroup scanners. Scanned documents and PDFs can be processed from a variety of sources, including network and FTP-folders and Microsoft® Exchange mailboxes. Employees can use the server without special training. Processing a document is as simple as dropping a file into a folder.

Independent, server-based processing
Recognition and conversion take place remotely on the server as a background process, working independently without affecting other tasks running on client workstations. Processing can take place unattended and “instantly” upon placement of a document in a “watched folder”. Administrators can also schedule processing for specific times.

High-Volume Processing, Easy Scalability
Recognition Server 2.0 delivers parallel processing and automatically distributes the workload to maximise its capacity. Processing performance can easily be increased by using additional workstations and CPU cores. Scheduling functions make it easy to process high volumes of documents overnight or at scheduled times.

Centralised Management
Set-up and administration of OCR processing and workloads are all managed centrally and processing parameters are defined remotely via the Management Console. Recognition Server administrators are able to set up individual workflows for workgroups or projects.

International and Flexible
Recognition Server 2.0 recognises text in more than 190 languages and processes multilingual documents as well as 1D and 2D barcodes. It also offers document separation functions through the use of barcodes and blank pages.

Multiple Output Formats, Flexible Export
Scanned documents, PDFs and image files can be converted into multiple file formats, such as plain text, Word, Excel®, HTML, PDF (including searchable PDFs), PDF/A and MRC compressed PDFs. Converted documents can be saved on the network, sent via e-mail or published to a Microsoft SharePoint® Server library.

Fault Tolerance
Integrated functions such as job and server logging, auto-start of OCR and management processes after restart, ensure stability and fault tolerance.

Simple SOA compatible Integration
Recognition Server is flexible and adapts to changing requirements of enterprises. The software can be used either as a stand-alone solution or interact with external applications. For integration XML-Ticket Support, COM-based API and Web Service (SOAP) API are available.
