Leveraging the latest, award-winning ABBYY OCR technology, the solution accurately reads texts in 37 languages including Latin, Cyrillic, Armenian, and Greek characters, and supports recognition of multilingual and multi-page files.

The service is offered for free up to 20 pages per month, with additional page processing available on a pay-per-use basis.

FineReader Online provides an intuitive interface for converting images. The whole process takes three simple steps: uploading an image to the service, setting up recognition languages and an output format, and receiving the resulting document directly from the user account page.
