ABBYY FineReader Engine's accuracy, multilingual support, and wide range of document formats make it a beneficial tool for Intelligent Automation Implementations. But, out of all the good features, there are two essential elements: Customization and Scalability. The engine can be customized to meet the specific requirements of a particular application or project, such as font and language recognition, image processing, and output format. Also, the engine can be scaled to support high-volume document processing in enterprise-level applications, making it a reliable choice for businesses with significant document processing needs.
