Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Pros

OCR scanning
Refining scanned text
Sophisticated and flexible OCR settings/adjustments
High-quality editing and document comparison tools

Cons

Conversion to MS Word (formatting accuracy issues occur)
Conversion to MS Excel (formatting accuracy issues occur)

Likelihood to Recommend

The most common scenario is a need to do a high-level OCR-scan of a document followed by heavy editing. I believe that FineReader is in its own league in that regard, and there is no single reason why would someone choose an alternative soft for the purpose.

Another common scenario is a need of detailed comparison of pdf documents. A massive help!

ABBYY FineReader the ultimate key to editing PDF files

Rating: 10 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

ABBYY FineReader is a powerful tool that you normally use to recognize pdf files, such as ocr or even advanced editing of these files, direct digitization to a docx file, xlsx, images, etc. In our department, it boosts productivity by managing large text files and avoids retranscriptions and redesign of tables that would cost a lot of valuable time that is invested in the fundamental tasks of our work

Pros

Advanced text recognition
Editing complex documents
Fragment recomposition, image relocation, worksheet cleaning, among others
Easy and fast configuration, in addition to the support of a large number of different digitization equipment

Cons

A versioning system of the work done or the editions that have been saved in the files, or a tracking of changes between one version and another would be fabulous
An improvement that would be asked would be as previews or suggestions of the type of file that could be beneficial to use in an edition
The redesign of the panels is that of the analyzed document, the edition and the changes in my opinion need a resizing to have a better view of the work

Likelihood to Recommend

[ABBYY FineReader is well suited] to edit advanced documents that contain text, images, tables, columns among others, I used it when I have a large text file and they ask me to go in editable file type like docx, Another common use is when in documents there is personal or sensitive information that should not be public knowledge and you want to cure or erase this information without prejudice to the understanding of the background of the document.
