The document management, document conversion, digital signatures, and the giant array of supported file types made this an easy choice for me. Especially when I started using it and realized that the UI was intuitive and top notch\! > > **Cons**: There is not a lot I dislike about it. I think the only part that was a little difficult was getting the digital signature process set up how I wanted it to be in my workflow. It was the only area in the application that I really had to do some looking up to see how to get the most out of it. > > I made it about 4 days into the trial before I purchased the full license. I have removed most of the Adobe products I used to use from my workflow, and yet I always had to keep an Adobe Acrobat Pro subscription to cover my PDF needs. This was a huge find for me as it can duplicate all that I needed from the Adobe products, and more, for a far more reasonable price. I have already recommended this software to my team as something we will cover to eliminate their needs for other products. ----- ### "Review of ABBYY FindeReaer PDF" — 5.0/5 > **Anne** | *29 May 2022* | Translation & Localisation | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Accurate OCR result and the language selection. > > **Cons**: Sometimes due to the poor PDF quality, the text recognition capability becomes limited. > > Pretty good. ----- ### "ABBY IS ONE OF THE BEST OCR AND PDF APPLICATION" — 5.0/5 > **ILKER** | *11 December 2023* | Translation & Localisation | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: As an Translaiton Office, Abbyy from morning until evening, it is an indispenzable need for running our business. > > **Cons**: Georgian OCR is missing, not available. > > I have used this software since its beginning, decades passed away . ----- ### "A very good Solution that could be The Best" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *14 December 2023* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy of usage, processing batch files, a lot of different output format, standard OCR capabilities, and opening to OCR custom training > > **Cons**: Output to Excel (tables are really not fully detected, even text within cells, with a lot of work to do in the end) and Word (every text appear converted in annoying frames, difficult to remove or manage at all) mostly have to be really improved to be the best. OCR must be improved very much. You have bad result if you want to recognize document in Greek (most part of diacritics are not well detected) and, with Hebrew, is literally a worst situation (you have not vowels and all diacritics). If you try to do by yourself, using custom OCR training, it's a very long journey and you don't even get a good result, and many times it's even not so clear if you are using your custom training set or not and even is really not clear why you cannot use one only feature to perform "verify" and "ocr training" in one only function/feature/action. > > I believe this is, in the end, a very good solution, it makes a lot of things very well, but it has to be improved to be the very best in-class. Also, I used to get in touch with Support and I have to say it is a very-full-quality Customer Support, well prepared and kind. ----- Page: 1 / 18\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/207256/abbyy-finereader?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/207256/abbyy-finereader) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
