ABBYY Recognition Server
is based on ABBYY’s
award-winning document
recognition technology
and supports service based 
document recognition 
and PDF conversion 
functionality.  It delivers
highly accurate conversion
of PDF files, images and
scanned documents into
text for the purpose of 
categorising, searching,
and exporting into third
party systems for 
document storage and
management.
Server-based OCR and 
PDF Conversion Solution
OCR via a Service-Based Architecture
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.

This function is only available in ABBYY Recognition Server 2.0 Extended Edition.
