ABBYY Recognition Server 2.0, AddOn 4400600200104 User Manual

1.

Document Import: During the first processing step, the Server Manager imports files from the input source 

(i.e. shared folder, FTP folder, or mailbox folder) and arranges them in a queue for processing. 

2.

Recognition:  Next, files are evenly distributed among

the available Processing Stations for recognition. The

Server Manager and Processing Station are Windows

®

services. Each component can be installed separately in

the network or on an individual computer.  The Server

Manager administers and monitors processing on all

available Processing Stations. 

3.

Verification (optional):  When exact accuracy is

required, an optional verification station can be set up

where results can be checked manually.

4.

Export: Following the recognition and verification, the

Server Manager delivers the output document to its

destination, which can be a network folder, a

SharePoint

®

library*, an e-mail address or applications

which use the API.

ABBYY Recognition Server is administered remotely via the

Microsoft Management Console (MMC). All system

settings, including workflows, job lists, Processing Station

properties, licences and server log files, can be edited at a

central location. 

A Recognition Server workflow is the smallest administrative

unit. The workflow includes all processing parameters, like

input sources from which the documents are taken for

processing. A job can include a single page image, a 

multiple page image or PDF file. The administrator sets 

priorities for each workflow in advance so that all jobs are automatically loaded throughout the entire system.

ABBYY Recognition Server can satisfy the needs of every type of enterprise. The

Server Manager and Processing Stations can be installed on a multi-core system

or they can be distributed in the network. In each scenario, the flexible

architecture scales in an almost linear way.  Thus, systems which process

hundreds of pages per minute can easily be set up.**

Particular workflows can be set up to take place at specific times or on a regular

basis (i.e. daily, weekly, or monthly). This kind of routing increases efficiency,

especially when processing is schedule during the nighttime hours or at times of the

lowest workloads. Recognition Server 2.0 is very flexible. Administrators can also

configure the system so that different Processing Stations are used at different times.
