Case Study: Apex CoVantage achieves faster, more accurate large-scale OCR with ABBYY FineReader Engine

Apex CoVantage Taps FineReader ® Engine for Improved Accuracy and Sophisticated Features

Apex CoVantage, a Herndon, VA–based provider of global Knowledge Process Outsourcing (KPO) solutions, was processing millions of scanned pages per year for customers and needed a more sophisticated OCR system that supported color, multi‑language recognition and better accuracy—especially for older, hard‑to‑read fonts and complex document formatting like tables.

The company implemented ABBYY FineReader Engine, integrating its APIs into Apex’s workflow with hands‑on technical support. FineReader improved recognition speed and accuracy (notably for historic fonts), preserved table formatting as editable output, and reduced manual cleanup time by about 10–20%, streamlining delivery of XML content to Apex’s customers.
