ABBYY FineReader vs. Worldox

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

Ease of navigation is probably the top seller for me. I might work on a dozen or more separate files per day and I need to be able to switch between files efficiently, especially when asked to find something quickly. Naming conventions are simple and easy to use. Searching for a document, even when there are hundreds, is pretty simple and straight forward.

Incentivized

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

Incentivized

• Forced structure via hooking into every day applications and producing Worldox Open and Save constructs versus the standard application Open and Save menus.
• Extreme customization options including cabinets, folders, and document types.
• The indexing system is very useful for locating documents by name, body, date, etc.

• 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

• Cloud product is a little lacking
• Little bit of learning curve out of the box
• For a larger organization, may need to dedicate a resource to manage the program

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

Better due to the depth of document preservation options.

Incentivized

• 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

• Greatly improved productivity for users via searching, favorites, and forced organization.
• Versioning and document preview can also improve productivity versus opening individual files.
• Can require a "revolutionary" change in the workflow as the application's Open and Save prompts are radically different than normal application usage.
