A useful tool to liberate the space by making a thick book into an e -book

I have been using this product for more than four or five years. Of course, the recognition rate is not as perfect as the Google lens, but when we process a lot of content, there is no such software, so we will continue to subscribe this year. However, there is a regret that the recognition rate of things like brackets will be improved.

Functionality

Pros:

It is mainly used to scan a book in Korean and make it an e-book. It is easier to use because of less error than any other program. Even if you are graffiti in the book, you can erase it and edit it is very useful. It is an essential tool for eliminating and digitizing paper books that occupy a lot of space.

Cons:

Books published in Korean are often used in other countries that are not used well in other countries. For example, these are symbols such as bumps, double labels, screens, and overlapping. These symbols are used in book titles, papers, and magazine names. It is often very inconvenient because it is often not aware of these things.

Very useful tool for everyone who has to work with texts and convert files.

The interface is very user-friendly; there are plenty of editing functions; and as a not very tech-savvy person, I should admit that I had no trouble finding out what each tool does and how to change settings.

Functionality

Pros:

You can quickly and easily convert files into other formats without having to upload them somewhere online. I also like the fact that it allows you to edit PDF documents as they are, without the need for creating endless Word files, implementing changes and then converting them into new PDFs.

Cons:

The OCR tool doesn't work as seamlessly for all the languages: the program makes many more mistakes when it comes to recognizing non-Latin character based languages, for example, Russian. Same thing for texts written in two, three, etc. columns: sometimes it merges two columns together and the resulting text makes no sense.

It is an excellent PDF editing tool that offers you an all-in-one PDF solution in one place. You can easily create, edit PDFs, or even convert your documents to PDF files. You can easily merge multiple PDFs into one PDF file or split a PDF document into multiple PDFs. Even you can compress them to a smaller size. You can save time and money by signing PDFs digitally instead of manually printing and signing them.

Cons:

Currently, I have no dislike about ABBYY FineReader PDF.
