Re: Abbyy Finereader 12 Serial Number 71

I have a project which needs to scan certain images with OCR.I know the software abbyy finereader does pretty well (also tried a trial version which works nearly perfectly for me) and now I'm wondering how to embed this software into python or another sripting language so that I can later simply run a command line script, e.g. python the_script.py image.jpg to take an image as parameter, execute abbyy finereader with it and return the recognised text...
FineReader, namely the retail boxed product, is designed for standalone interactive use by an operator. Command line and API automation is not available in that package. If your usage is small volume, you could use FineReader Corporate Edition as a simple black-box, set it up as a Hot Folder, and have your script drop images into that Input folder, wait for processing, and pickup from Output folder.
Local - some software will run on your server and provide your scripts whit OCR functionality, as black-box or via direct API. Recognition Server is the next product to consider for this. Lastly, if you are developing a large application with the need to distribute it to numerous users, or need in-depth OCR control, then Engine SDK is the product to consider.
