Case Study: KnowledgeLake achieves higher OCR accuracy and searchable PDFs with ABBYY FineReader Engine

ABBYY FineReader Gives KnowledgeLake Recognition Muscle

KnowledgeLake, a leading Enterprise Content Management provider for Microsoft SharePoint, needed to extend the capabilities and boost recognition accuracy in its Capture 2008 and Capture Server 2008 products so customers could reliably convert paper documents to searchable, indexable digital content across distributed environments.

To solve this, KnowledgeLake integrated ABBYY FineReader Engine and FormReader Developer Edition with the FlexiCapture Studio add-on, adding full‑page and field‑level OCR, image cleanup, advanced PDF conversion, layout analysis and forms processing. The integration produced searchable PDFs, more accurate text extraction and keyword indexing, reliable data capture from semi‑structured documents (invoices, claims, contracts, resumes) and positioned KnowledgeLake to roll out an Intelligent Document Recognition module to automate processing like invoices and EOBs.
