Functionality Overview
Overview: Document Processing Steps
Scheduled and Efficient Processing
Administrators have the flexibility to set up particular workflows at
specific times or intervals (i.e. daily, weekly, or monthly) in order to
increase efficiency or take advantge of low-workload periods (i.e. night
time). Administrators can also configure the system to specify that
different Processing Stations be used at different times.
Scalability
ABBYY Recognition Server can satisfy the needs of organisations of
different sizes and document processing requirements. The Server
Manager and Processing Stations can be installed on a multi-core
system or distributed in the network. Either way, the flexible architec-
ture scales efficiently
to allow administrators
to easily set up sys-
tems which can
process as much as
hundreds of pages per
minute.
Set-up and Management
Management and Administration
ABBYY Recognition Server is administered remotely via the Microsoft
Management Console (MMC). All system settings, including workflows,
job lists, Processing Station properties, licences and server log files
can be edited at a central location.
Conversion Workflows and Job Distribution
A Recognition Server workflow is a set of processing parameters which
include document input source, processing stages and delivery methods.
A job is the smallest processing unit and may include one or several
images or PDF files. The administrator sets priorities for each workflow
in advance to ensure that all jobs are processed in order of importance.
1. Scanning and Document Import:
• Scanning: Images are scanned by an operator on the Scanning
Station and then sent to Recognition Server.
• Document Import: the Server Manager imports files from the
designated input source (i.e. shared folder, FTP folder, or mailbox
folder) and places them in a processing queue.
2. Recognition: The system evenly distributes files among the available
Processing Stations for recognition. Workflow processing on all
available Processing Stations is administered and monitored by the
Server Manager. Both components function as Windows®services,
can be installed separately in the network or on the same computer.
3. Verification (optional): In case of low quality document input or
when precise accuracy is required, an optional Verification Station
can be set up for manual proofing by an operator. The Server
Manager routes documents to the Verification Stations according
to workflow settings****.
4. Document Separation: After recognition and verification,
documents can be sorted using blank page, barcode, or fixed page
number separators. Scripts may also be used to create custom
separation rules.
5. Classification and Indexing (optional) Organisations may choose to
index manually on the Indexing Station, or index automatically using
customised scripts which enable intelligent export and delivery
using document properties and metadata.
6. Export: Following recognition and verification, the Server Manager
delivers the output document to its destination, which can be a
network folder, a SharePoint®library*, an e-mail address or
applications which use the Recognition Server API.
