Pros

“ABBYY FineReader PDF is best liked for its high-accuracy OCR (optical character recognition) that converts scanned paper and images into searchable, editable text across 190+ languages, alongside its reliable layout retention and seamless PDF editing and conversion tools.”

Ashish S.

Proprietor

“It helps me organize and work with scanned material more efficiently, search inside documents, extract text and information, and convert files into editable formats.”

MYRTO A.

Library and Documentation Assistant

“ABBYY FineReader PDF is a powerful and reliable tool for document conversion, text recognition (OCR), and PDF editing.”

Ashish S.

Proprietor

Pros

“In my experience I started using this suite because at some point I need to use free software, so it was a very good option to replace the paid suite that I previously used.”

ANILU M.

SOFTWARE DEVELOPER

“Fast, free, and easy to sign up and start using (literally an email, click to confirm, make a password, and login is done) and loaded with familiar and favorite formatting features, this word processing website leaves nothing to be desired except a quick way to word count.”

Sarah C.

Freelance copywriter

“It autosaves likes a beast and no matter where I am or where my laptop is I can ALWAYS access my documents online whenever I need them.”

Cons

“Good quality OCR, but a very slow process as pop-up windows appear everywhere until you finish OCRing each document, not good for intensive office scanner to folder work”

Yehuda M.

CEO

“The erase function for editing sometimes takes on too much of the background and can sometimes may everything black.”

Yehuda H.

Professor

“I notice that when I try to scan to Excel it takes about two pages to be able to sort out what is required.”

Geoffrey D.

Proprietor

Cons

“My biggest struggle is that it doesn't word count and although there are plugins with literally limitless functions and formulas, I've tried several times to add a word count plugin both officially form their help support and from search engine result assistance all to no avail.”

Sarah C.

Freelance copywriter

“Their website is clunky although it looks well organized from a cursory glance, it's poorly sorted.”

Sarah C.

Freelance copywriter

“It my experience it was a bit slow to function, although i must admit that my PC had a low RAM and out of date hardware in general; this means that maybe newer computers might take full advantage of it.”
