Workflow

The document conversion process in Recognition Server is divided into six logical parts as shown in the diagram below – Scanning/Importing, Recognition, Quality Control, Document Separation, Setting Document Type and Attributes and finally Publishing.

Administration

Recognition Server is administered via a convenient interface based on the Microsoft Management Console. It allows the administrator to configure the system and monitor its activity: to set processing parameters, to manage licenses, stations, user permissions, processing queues, and to view logs.
With the priority management and scheduling features, the administrator can control the order in which the documents are processed and use the stations’ hardware resources efficiently by scheduling OCR for night hours or weekends.

Integration

ABBYY Recognition Server provides an application programming interface (API) for integration with other applications. The API can be used to pass image files and processing parameters to Recognition Server, get notifications about job completion and obtain converted files.
