ABBYY FlexiCapture Engine 8.0

FlexiCapture Engine 8.0 enables developers to easily add the functionality required for today’s document management solutions, including:

• Automated data extraction from various types of fixed documents like questionnaires or insurance forms, which often come in large quantities
• Processing semi-structured forms in which the location of key data fields (date, invoice number, or text block) varies across documents, providing fast and precise data extraction
• Document indexing and classification options that allow the automation of document storage and archiving routines; making digital documents easily accessible streamlines the entire document workflow

ABBYY’s reputation and high profile in the industry will help promote developers’ solutions.

ABBYY's form processing and data capture end-user products are used by many government agencies and commercial organizations all over the world, including: Connecticut Braille Association, Cargill Foods, Trendset, UMW Toyota (Malaysia), Allgemeiner Deutscher Automobil-Club e.V. (Germany), Indian Educational Institutions (India), Finansbank (Turkey), Lithuanian Tax Inspectorate (Lithuania), Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation (Russia), Ministry of Rural Development of Malaysia (Malaysia), Prodco TV (UK) and many more.

It is important to have not only a locaizedl version of a product, but to expand to international solutions as well. FlexiCapture Engine 8.0 has unique recognition language coverage and other key features valued by developers:

• Ability to recognize more than 180 languages in OCR (including Latin, Greek, Armenian, Cyrillic and Thai alphabets) and over 110 languages for ICR—and ABBYY continually works to add more

Applications built on FlexiCapture Engine 8.0 offer automatic processing of incoming documents that simplifies the input, recognition, verification and export of documents into a single action performed on a bundle of records.

Applications powered by FlexiCapture Engine 8.0 reduce operational costs by eliminating hours of manual data entry and re-entry from incorrect recognition. FlexiCapture Engine 8.0 provides the following productivity-enhancing features:

• Highly accurate OCR and ICR that reduces data correction
• Rules-based automated verification process
• Highly effective error-proof group verification

ABBYY is constantly refining its existing products and searching for new technologies that respond to customer needs.

• ABBYY is constantly developing its technological base introducing new and innovative technologies like Advanced Document Recognition Technology (ADRT®) that provides even greater accuracy with the ability to handle bundles of documents as a single entity with uniform processing options for every page.
• FlexiCapture Engine 8.0 enables images to be exported along with extracted data for classifying and indexing purposes.
• By providing support for recurrent items in documents, such as complex tables, FlexiCapture Engine 8.0 allows faster processing of groups of identical fields.

Because FlexiCapture Engine 8.0 delivers a full-range of state-of-the-art technologies for data capture and archiving; developers don’t need to source different SDKs for different tasks and can have a single approach to application development, maintenance and training.

In addition to traditional data capture utilities, ABBYY also provides instruments for document conversion. Because these tasks are highly interconnected, the customer benefits from having a single supplier for all of them.
