ABBYY FineReader 9.0 Professional Edition

The new intelligent OCR generation (optical character recognition) from ABBYY delivers precisely reconstructed electronic documents, the highest level of accuracy and fast results. The new unique ‘Adaptive Document Recognition Technology‘ (ADRT), intelligent interface and wide range of new time-saving features deliver electronically editable and searchable files from PDFs, scanned documents and digital camera images more efficiently than ever before.
