Business Use

With FineReader 10, it’s easy to correct an agreement, manuscript, contract, pamphlet, booklet, or brochure when all you have is paper copies of the documents or a PDF file. Retyping entire documents or parts of a document is time-consuming and a waste of human resources. FineReader 10 will convert your scans and PDFs to an easily editable text format. A smart text editor built into the software simplifies spell-checking, changing font styles and exporting into your desired file format. With FineReader 10, the process of making changes to a business agreement or legal correspondence is much more efficient.

In today’s business environment, it is essential to have digital copies of key documents in an archive. But simple scans are not enough. Archives must be searchable so that you can easily find the documents you need later. FineReader offers various saving options, including ISO-standard PDF, advanced PDF/A with advanced security settings, encryption and PDF compression. This is ideal for legal materials, news summaries, research reports and other key documents. 

FineReader 10 is not just for basic text, but is a great tool for tables and spreadsheets as well. Easily process and extract the necessary information from different financial and statistic documents such as pricelists, budget reports or survey reports. Export them into Excel for easy editing or recalculation.

When creating presentations, research reports and proposals, oftentimes they are compiled from a variety of sources that may include other reports downloaded as PDF from the Internet, printed documents, magazine or newspaper articles, old contracts, etc. Rather than retyping the information into your new document, simply pull the sections you need after running it through FineReader 10. Registered customers receive ABBYY’s Screenshot Reader tool that can even perform “quick” or “instant OCR” by just selecting a section of a document on screen to recognize, then sending it to a clipboard and pasting into a new document or presentation.

The boundaries between countries and languages are smaller than ever and, as a result, most companies are working in a multi-language environment and producing documentation in more and more languages. Today’s translation agencies or dictionary software are helping to facilitate the process, but documentation must be provided in easy-to-read text that can be inserted into translation databases. Use FineReader 10 to pull necessary information from scans or PDF files to be sent for translation or scan an article and perform OCR before inserting it into translation software for easy reading.

What if you need to update last year’s marketing brochure with new statistics? Or you found an old pamphlet with interesting data or text?  Marketing professionals can use FineReader 10 to easily extract text from old PDF files or scans of old documents. Text can be re-edited in a Microsoft Word file or easily cut and pasted into a document layout or publishing program without unnecessary retyping.

Making large files of old documents, past articles and archives accessible via the Web can be a tedious process. With FineReader 10, it’s easy to convert documents into HTML or to create searchable PDFs with its one-click “Scan to PDF” Quick Task for further uploading on the Web site.

Taking into account the growing popularity of electronic books, ABBYY FineReader now includes enhanced and extended capability to convert documents into HTML format. For example, it can automatically save chapters of a large book as individual HTML files and create separately a table of contents for it with internal links to the respective chapters and files. As a result, you can easily navigate between the chapters without the need scroll through a very long HTML file.  FineReader 10 also supports export of documents to flexible HTML layout which can be easily edited, indexed for search, or readily published on a Web site.
