It is very useful in doing that into Word. I also use ABBYY to scan tables into Excel. > > **Cons**: I notice that when I try to scan to Excel it takes about two pages to be able to sort out what is required. The first two can have text in all sorts of places. Also I find that for continous scanning I have to 'finish scanning' to be able to allow for different page text sizes. > > Now that I know the limitations of ABBYY I am very happy for what it can do and I use to frequently. About once a week. ----- ### "Great tool" — 5.0/5 > **Maria Antonietta** | *20 August 2026* | Translation & Localization | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's a great conversion tool and speeds up my translation process as well as producing formatted documents. > > **Cons**: Can't fault the programme. Perhaps the OCR component could be improved so that the final product is more like the original. > > It's a great programme I would most certainly recommend it to anyone who wishes to convert files to different formats. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "Excellent PDF editing tool with many features" — 5.0/5 > **Vishnu** | *16 February 2025* | Logistics & Supply Chain | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is an excellent PDF editing tool that offers you an all-in-one PDF solution in one place. You can easily create, edit PDFs, or even convert your documents to PDF files. You can easily merge multiple PDFs into one PDF file or split a PDF document into multiple PDFs. Even you can compress them to a smaller size. You can save time and money by signing PDFs digitally instead of manually printing and signing them. > > **Cons**: Currently, I have no dislike about ABBYY FineReader PDF. > > My overall experience with ABBYY FineReader PDF has been exceptional. ----- Page: 1 / 19\ 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
