Case Study: LULU Software launches Soda PDF Professional + OCR on time with ABBYY FineReader Engine

ABBYY FineReader Engine Powers New Product for Software Provider

LULU Software, a Montreal-based developer of user-friendly productivity applications, sought to differentiate its flagship Soda PDF line by adding reliable OCR so customers could create, convert, edit and search digitized documents. Because OCR is technically complex and accuracy was critical, the team needed a turnkey solution that was both easy to use and quick to implement to meet an aggressive launch schedule.

LULU integrated ABBYY FineReader Engine, whose accurate recognition and developer-friendly API allowed implementation in under a month. The smooth integration supported successful beta testing and enabled the on-time release of Soda PDF Professional + OCR, giving users searchable, editable PDFs and meeting the company’s product goals.
