It exceeded my expectations. ----- ### "Books to electronic text." — 5.0/5 > **Matthew** | *25 April 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Used this mainly for its ability to convert scanned text from images to text on a computer. It helped me gather pages and pages of text and convert it for use in world processing. > > **Cons**: Sometimes there are misreadings but this was often due to the quality of the file it was asked to scan. > > Excellent product. Very helpful for someone working in education or research but modern phones have similar functionality built in now. ----- ### "ABBYY FineReader PDF - Everything you need and beyond" — 5.0/5 > **Philip** | *22 May 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: ABBYY FineReader PDF turned out to be an incredibly accurate OCR, combined with the recognition of over 190 languages, an excellent way to work directly in PDF, but at a much lower cost. All this, combined with the incredibly good and fast support makes the product excellent for the needs of anyone who works with PDF files. > > **Cons**: I can't point to anything I don't like. I use most of the functionalities and I am satisfied. The only thing that can cause a problem is the not always accurate conversion from PDF to Excel. > > I use ABBYY FineReader PDF in my daily work and the product has become my indispensable assistant. I have tried other similar software, but the experience of working with ABBYY is the most satisfying. ----- ### "A useful tool to liberate the space by making a thick book into an e -book" — 4.0/5 > **Hyung R.** | *10 June 2025* | Research | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is mainly used to scan a book in Korean and make it an e-book. It is easier to use because of less error than any other program. Even if you are graffiti in the book, you can erase it and edit it is very useful. It is an essential tool for eliminating and digitizing paper books that occupy a lot of space. > > **Cons**: Books published in Korean are often used in other countries that are not used well in other countries. For example, these are symbols such as bumps, double labels, screens, and overlapping. These symbols are used in book titles, papers, and magazine names. It is often very inconvenient because it is often not aware of these things. > > I have been using this product for more than four or five years. Of course, the recognition rate is not as perfect as the Google lens, but when we process a lot of content, there is no such software, so we will continue to subscribe this year. However, there is a regret that the recognition rate of things like brackets will be improved. ----- ### "Abbyy, change your habits \!" — 5.0/5 > **Fanny** | *28 March 2025* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the flexibility and the ergonomics > > **Cons**: Nothing, very useful. The best quality price software. > > Abbyy is very easy to use, I can convert my file and I save a lot of time. I use abbyy everyday for 3 years. It changed my life. ----- Page: 1 / 18\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/65868/abbyy-finereader?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/65868/abbyy-finereader) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | | tr | | ----- ## Structured Data
