ABBYY FineReader vs. KwikTag

FineReader is critical for any business that handles scanned documents or works with files that need conversion to Excel, PDF, Powerpoint or various other programs. It's ability to automatically process, read documents and suggest tables is impressive. It can take printed documents and convert all of the text to a editable format which is a huge time saver. In regards to tables it can automatically find and identify columns and separate them out for immediate use in Excel

Works fine for accounting but we've found workflow capabilities are limited for those who aren't using our accounting system. License seats need to be concurrent instead of user specific.

• OCR scanning
• Refining scanned text
• Sophisticated and flexible OCR settings/adjustments
• High-quality editing and document comparison tools

Incentivized

• Helps keep track of multiple vendors' receipts and invoices.
• The integration with GP accounting is particularly helpful and it's why we chose the system.
• Users find the system easy to understand.

Incentivized

• A versioning system of the work done or the editions that have been saved in the files, or a tracking of changes between one version and another would be fabulous
• An improvement that would be asked would be as previews or suggestions of the type of file that could be beneficial to use in an edition
• The redesign of the panels is that of the analyzed document, the edition and the changes in my opinion need a resizing to have a better view of the work

Incentivized

• It would be nice if we could automatically email invoices from KwikTag to responsible parties for approval.
• Need to provide a web interface that doesn't use up a license seat so other members than KwikTag users can view documents that go with what's been charged to their budget.

While Adobe Reader can identify documents and convert them to some other various formats, it cannot process the documents to identify tables for use in Excel. We only had success by letting Adobe read a file for any identifiable text but it wasn't always accurate. FineReaders ability to handle hundreds of pages at once felt leaps and bounds above Adobe

We use Laserfiche for our legal and membership services departments. Laserfiche is a full blown workflow and document management system that runs on our own SQL server. Therefore we have much more control of how it's set up and we can customize it more easily.

• ABBYY FineReader is an irreplaceable tool for preparing documents for document management systems and getting the most of them afterward
• Great time saver in various scenarios related to work with scans and photos of documents

Incentivized

• KwikTag has taken a large burden off our AP staff.
• Documents are readily available for retrieval without having to scan through directories full of files or boxes of paper.
• Would like to see the ability for others to at least search and view documents.
