Discount for registered users of previous versions
Breakthrough Adaptive Document Recognition Technology (ADRT™)

ABBYY’s newest Adaptive Document Recognition Technology (ADRT) treats an entire document as a single entity, rather than the more error-prone and time-consuming method used by previous generations of OCR technology which process each page individually.

ADRT makes converting paper documents, images and PDF files to the Microsoft Word format more accurate than ever. By intelligently “seeing” the document in its entirety, the program identifies various elements of document structure such as heading, body text, columns, tables, graphics, and page numbers. After the processing, documents contain accurately digitized text, while retaining the document’s logical structure and layout in native Microsoft Office formatting elements for easy editing and changing.





Headers/footers, page numbering, heading, footnotes, and lists are all expertly re-produced. For example, after processing with FineReader 9.0, header text is identified as part of the header “field” and subsequently placed in the corresponding formatting section of Microsoft Word document so that headers are created as a single element to allow them to be edited or deleted on all pages simultaneously. ADRT also enhances recognition and retention of fonts and font styles.
Enhanced Recognition Accuracy and Performance

With ADRT, the newest version of ABBYY's Optical Character Recognition software delivers significant accuracy enhancements, especially on documents containing tables, legal documents, multilingual documents, and digital camera captured images. Overall accuracy has been improved by as much as 35 percent * compared to the previous version. Other enhancements include:

Second-generation Digital Camera OCR

ABBYY FineReader 9.0 incorporates second-generation Digital Camera OCR. This single-step digital camera OCR saves time for users capturing document with a camera.
