FineReader 6.0 Professional Features:

• Unsurpassed Accuracy
  ABBYY FineReader delivers unprecedented recognition accuracy based on its unique IPA Technology. Designed to intelligently read and extract the data from documents, IPA is based on observations of human and animal behavior -first proposing hypotheses of images and then purposefully verifying them. Like a human, FineReader examines elements and relationships and learns to recognize elements in an image more accurately.
  The newest "intelligent background filtering" technologies from ABBYY "tune" the OCR process by filtering and separating key pieces of data and text from background color, graphics, pictures, and other images on the page. As a result, ABBYY delivers superior accuracy.
  
• Complicated Document Layout Retention
  FineReader will accurately process scanned files and maintain their original format - whether it is a magazine article, spreadsheet, or other formatted document. Users working with FineReader will find an excellent solution for recognizing documents with:

• Columns - such as magazine articles
• Tables and grids -such as price lists and stock & share prices in newspapers
• Non-gridded tables - such as balance or profit & loss sheets
• Non-rectangular images - such as graphics and pictures in magazine articles
• Vertical text - such as table headings
• Colour - such as brochures and pamphlets
• Multiple font formatting - such as leaflets and company or product brochures
• Complex document formatting - such as bullet points, headers, footers, and page numbers in contracts, proposals and other documents

• PDF Input
  FineReader supports input from PDF, making it easy to create editable files from PDF files.
  
• Output to PDF, HTML and Multiple File Formats
  Users can save recognized or edited texts in popular word processing programs or as a cross-platform medium PDF or HTML file. The newest feature in FineReader 6.0 converts scanned documents into "image-only" PDF files.
  
• Integrated Print Functions
  Now users can print images and/or recognized text directly from FineReader.
  
• Multilingual Document Recognition
  ABBYY FineReader is the international OCR software. It recognizes 122 languages (or 177 in the Cyrillic Plus version).
  
• MS Windows Explorer Integration
  For users who do a lot of work from within the browser window - FineReader makes it easy to add image files directly to a FineReader batch from Windows Explorer.
  
• Multicolumn WYSIWYG Text Editor
  New in FineReader 6.0 is a multicolumn WYSIWYG full text editor. This feature makes it easy to view the full layout of the scanned document while editing, so that users can quickly check the file before sending or exporting it.
  
• Enhanced Image Storage Features
  FineReader gives users the flexibility to change the compression ratio or resolution of pictures when saving to PDF, HTML, DOC and RTF formats.
  
• Customizable Toolbars
  For users who want the flexibility to customize their working environment, FineReader lets users build their own customized toolbars. This puts the user in control of the features he/she wants.
