I use it in particular writing medical legal opinions when I need to scan large body of evidence extracted from medical electronic files ----- ### "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. ----- ### "Editable but really bad OCR. Not worth the money." — 1.0/5 > **Marijana** | *28 September 2026* | Translation & Localization | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I liked the fact that it made images scanned to PDFs editable, but unfortunately the text was all over the page that it required a LOT of time to make the document resemble the original. > > **Cons**: However, the quality was so poor, it was basically useless. The formatting was off with random lines all over the page; the extracted letters were of various font types and sizes for the same word, not to mention the typos and lack of similarity to the original file. ----- ### "Works Well" — 5.0/5 > **Robert** | *23 September 2026* | Alternative Medicine | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Value for my money, works well. Does well with OCR, Works fast, I have used this product for many years. > > **Cons**: Cost has been my only issue, but for the value and operation it is reasonable. It would be nice for one or two versions to have a free upgrade. > > I use this product to work with PDF documents mostly to rearrange, copy, update and add additional text. ----- ### "Outstanding tool to handle Documents and Pdfs" — 4.0/5 > **Khan Md Mohaiuminul Islam** | *5 September 2023* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Outstanding OCR capabilities are expertise of ABBYY Finereader PDF.Compatible with other documents tools , Especially MS office.Accurate conversion of files, consist of tables , figures and other similar data.Very easy interface, organizing documents in pages is very quick.Editing E signature to protect files is also helpful for me. > > **Cons**: ABBYY Fine reader PDF is bit pricey among other PDF Editors.Sometimes it freeze during loading Large Documents. > > I found it Phenomenal during converting my documents which consist of Tables and figures.During Conversion of PDF files to Excel and word, I get accurate result, Just like Original.I must mention OCR function is the best here.Anyway Price of this product is very Higher than Similar prducts. ----- Page: 1 / 19\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2047083/abbyy-finereader?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2047083/abbyy-finereader) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
