## Help Center (ABBYY & IDP FAQ)

- **Which ABBYY product do I need — FineReader, FlexiCapture, or Vantage?** Use FineReader for OCR and PDF conversion/editing; FlexiCapture for configurable, high-volume data capture and complex validation (on-prem or cloud); and Vantage for cloud-native, skills-based IDP with pre-trained models. Many organizations run more than one. WiseTREND can recommend the right fit for your documents.
- **How long does an ABBYY IDP project take to deploy?** Plugin-based deployments on a tuned platform typically go live in 2–8 weeks; custom document models take longer depending on complexity, volume, and integrations. A pilot on your real documents is the best way to estimate.
- **Do I need to install software, or can ABBYY IDP run in the cloud?** Both. FlexiCapture and FineReader Server can run on-premises or hosted; Vantage and WiseTREND's IDP Cloud Portal are cloud-native. The choice usually comes down to data-residency and IT preferences.
- **What is a Document Definition in ABBYY FlexiCapture?** A Document Definition describes a document type to FlexiCapture — its fields, the rules for finding and validating them, and how data is exported. Building and tuning Document Definitions is the core of a FlexiCapture project; WiseTREND's plugins ship with definitions already tuned for common document types.
- **What are the main FlexiCapture roles and stations?** FlexiCapture separates work into stations/roles such as scanning, verification, and administration, coordinated by a Processing Server. This lets high-volume operations split capture, human verification of low-confidence fields, and management across users and machines.
- **How do I improve recognition on a specific FlexiCapture field?** Typical levers are: refine the field's region and matching rules, add validation and lookup rules, supply training samples, and adjust image pre-processing. WiseTREND tunes these against your real documents to raise straight-through-processing rates.
- **Can FlexiCapture do invoice and AP automation out of the box?** ABBYY offers FlexiCapture for Invoices for AP scenarios, and WiseTREND's WiseINVOICE extends FlexiCapture with pre-tuned invoice capture, 3-way match, and ERP posting.
- **What is a 'skill' in ABBYY Vantage?** In Vantage, a skill is a pre-built or configured capability for a specific document type that classifies and extracts its data. Skills are assembled and orchestrated with a low-code designer, and additional skills are available from the ABBYY Marketplace.
- **How is Vantage different from FlexiCapture for configuration?** Vantage emphasizes a cloud-native, low-code, skills-based experience for faster setup, while FlexiCapture offers deeper, more granular configuration for complex or idiosyncratic documents. WiseTREND helps teams pick — or combine — the two.
- **Can Vantage be trained on my own documents?** Yes. Vantage skills can be extended and trained on your document samples to improve extraction. WiseTREND can run that training and validation against your production documents.
- **What can ABBYY FineReader PDF do besides OCR?** FineReader PDF converts scans to searchable/editable formats and also edits, compares, organizes, protects, and shares PDFs. For server-scale conversion, ABBYY FineReader Server automates OCR and PDF processing in batch.
- **How do I convert a scanned PDF to editable text accurately?** Scan or import at sufficient resolution (300 DPI is a good baseline), confirm the correct recognition language(s), and use FineReader's verification view to check low-confidence text before export. Clean, high-contrast images yield the best accuracy.
- **Does FineReader compare two document versions?** Yes — FineReader PDF includes document comparison that highlights text differences between two versions, even across different file formats.
- **How accurate is ABBYY OCR?** On clean, high-quality images, character accuracy commonly exceeds 99%. Field-level extraction accuracy on structured documents typically exceeds 95% after tuning. Real-world accuracy depends most on image quality and how well the solution is configured for your documents.
- **How many languages does ABBYY recognize?** ABBYY's recognition engines support 200+ languages, including mixed-language documents and many scripts (Latin, Cyrillic, CJK, Arabic, and more). Confirm the correct language settings for best results.
- **Can ABBYY read handwriting?** ABBYY ICR reads hand-printed characters in form fields (common on claims, intake forms, and delivery slips). Free-form cursive in long documents remains hard across the industry, but structured hand-print is well supported.
- **Which file formats can ABBYY process?** Common inputs include PDF, TIFF, JPEG, PNG, and office documents; outputs include searchable PDF, DOCX, XLSX, CSV, XML, and JSON for downstream systems. Exact format support depends on the product and version.
- **Why is my recognition accuracy low, and how do I fix it?** The usual causes are poor image quality (low DPI, skew, noise, low contrast), wrong recognition language, or under-tuned field rules. Improve scanning, set the right languages, enable image pre-processing, and tune field/validation rules. WiseTREND offers accuracy-tuning engagements for exactly this.
- **How does ABBYY IDP integrate with my ERP, EHR, or RPA tools?** ABBYY platforms expose REST/SOAP APIs, file/hot-folder and database connectors, and integrate with RPA (UiPath, Power Automate, Blue Prism) and systems like SAP, Oracle, Epic, and Guidewire. WiseTREND builds and maintains these integrations.
- **How is ABBYY software licensed?** Licensing varies by product and deployment (for example, page/volume-based or transaction-based models, on-prem vs cloud). Your ABBYY partner sizes the right license for your volumes — WiseTREND can advise and procure.
- **Is ABBYY IDP secure and compliant for regulated data?** On-prem deployments keep data inside your environment; cloud deployments use encryption, role-based access, and audit logging, with HIPAA-ready configurations for healthcare. WiseTREND designs the deployment to match your compliance requirements.

## Glossary (key terms)

- **Intelligent Document Processing (IDP)**: Intelligent Document Processing is the use of AI — OCR, machine learning, computer vision, and natural language processing — to automatically classify documents, extract structured data, validate it, and deliver it into business systems. IDP turns unstructured documents such as invoices, IDs, and claims into clean, usable data with little or no manual entry.
- **Optical Character Recognition (OCR)**: OCR converts an image of text — a scan, photo, or PDF — into machine-readable characters. It is the recognition layer inside an IDP pipeline, but on its own it only produces text, not the validated, structured data a business system can use.
- **Intelligent Character Recognition (ICR)**: ICR is OCR for handwriting. It uses machine learning to read hand-printed characters in form fields — common on ACORD forms, intake paperwork, checks, and delivery slips — where traditional OCR, tuned for machine print, struggles.
- **Optical Mark Recognition (OMR)**: OMR detects marks rather than characters — checkboxes, filled bubbles, and rating scales on surveys, ballots, and assessment forms. It answers 'which option was selected?' instead of 'what text is written here?'.
- **Document classification**: Document classification is the automatic identification of what each document is — invoice, remittance, ID, or contract — so the right extraction model runs. It lets an IDP pipeline sort mixed batches and split multi-document files without manual sorting.
- **Data extraction**: Data extraction is the step that pulls specific fields, table rows, and line items out of a recognized document — vendor, totals, dates, diagnoses — and outputs them as structured key-value data rather than a wall of text.
- **Key-value pair extraction**: Key-value pair extraction captures a label and its value together — for example 'Invoice #: INV-10427' or 'Total: $4,820.00' — so the meaning of each captured value is preserved when it lands in a database or form.
- **Data validation**: Validation checks extracted data against business rules and reference data before it is trusted — confirming a vendor exists, that line items sum to the total, or that a date is well-formed. Low-confidence results route to a human; the rest flow through automatically.
- **Straight-through processing (STP)**: Straight-through processing, also called touchless processing, means a document is captured, validated, and posted to the system of record with no human intervention. STP rate — the share of documents processed touchlessly — is the headline metric for an IDP deployment's ROI.
- **Human-in-the-loop (HITL)**: Human-in-the-loop is the review step where a person verifies or corrects only the fields an IDP system flags as low-confidence. A well-tuned pipeline sends just the genuine exceptions to a reviewer and lets the high-confidence majority post automatically.
- **Natural Language Processing (NLP)**: NLP is the branch of AI that interprets human language. In document processing it locates and structures information inside free-form text — contracts, loss runs, medical notes — where there is no fixed layout to rely on.
- **Machine learning (ML)**: Machine learning is the technique of training models on examples rather than fixed rules. In IDP, ML lets a single model read the same document type across thousands of layouts — for example invoices from every vendor — without a template for each.
- **Generative AI / LLMs in document processing**: Generative AI and large language models (LLMs) add flexible understanding and summarization to an IDP pipeline — reading intent in unstructured documents and answering questions about them. In production they are paired with validation and human review to control accuracy and avoid hallucinated values.
- **Structured, semi-structured & unstructured documents**: Structured documents have a fixed layout (a tax form). Semi-structured documents carry the same fields in different layouts (invoices from many vendors). Unstructured documents hold meaning in prose (contracts, letters). Each calls for a different capture strategy — templates, machine learning, or NLP.
- **Structured vs unstructured data**: Structured data is organized into defined fields and rows a system can query directly. Unstructured data — the text inside a scanned document, email, or image — has no such organization. IDP exists to turn the second into the first.
- **Document skill / extraction model**: A document skill (or extraction model) is a pre-trained capability for a specific document type that ships ready to recognize and extract its fields — so a project starts from a working model instead of being built from scratch. WiseTREND's Wise* plugins are tuned document models in this sense.
- **MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition)**: MICR is the special font line printed along the bottom of a check that encodes the routing number, account number, and check number. Reading the MICR line accurately is essential to automating check capture and remote deposit.
- **CAR / LAR (check amount recognition)**: CAR (Courtesy Amount Recognition) reads the numeric amount on a check; LAR (Legal Amount Recognition) reads the written-out amount. Cross-validating the two raises accuracy on handwritten checks.
- **MRZ (Machine-Readable Zone)**: The MRZ is the two or three lines of monospaced characters at the bottom of passports and many IDs, encoded to the ICAO standard. Parsing the MRZ and cross-checking it against the printed text is a core step in identity-document verification.
- **3-way match**: A 3-way match compares an invoice against its purchase order and the goods-receipt record before payment, confirming that what was ordered, received, and billed all agree. Automating it is central to accounts-payable automation.
- **Accounts payable (AP) automation**: AP automation is the use of IDP to capture invoices, match them to purchase orders, route exceptions, and post them to an ERP without manual keying — typically cutting per-invoice processing cost by 60–80%.
- **ACORD forms**: ACORD forms are the standardized insurance documents used for submissions and certificates — including ACORD 25 (Certificate of Liability), 125, 126, 127, 130, and 140. Carriers vary the layouts, so reliable capture needs models maintained as forms change.
- **CMS-1500 & CMS-1450 (UB-04)**: CMS-1500 is the standard professional healthcare claim form (physicians, suppliers); CMS-1450, also called UB-04, is the institutional claim form (hospitals, facilities). Both carry hundreds of coded fields that healthcare IDP must capture accurately.
- **EOB, ERA & the 835**: An Explanation of Benefits (EOB) is the human-readable statement of how a claim was paid; an Electronic Remittance Advice (ERA) is its electronic equivalent, often exchanged as an 835 transaction. Converting paper and image EOBs into 835-compatible data is a key healthcare automation task.
- **Bill of lading (BOL) & proof of delivery (POD)**: A bill of lading is the contract and receipt that travels with a freight shipment; a proof of delivery confirms it arrived, often with a signature and any exceptions noted. Both are high-volume documents in transportation automation.
- **KYC (Know Your Customer)**: KYC is the regulated process of verifying a customer's identity during onboarding. Document-based KYC uses IDP to read and validate IDs, passports, and proof-of-address documents as the data-capture step of the wider identity-verification stack.
- **ABBYY FlexiCapture**: ABBYY FlexiCapture is ABBYY's deeply configurable data-capture platform, deployable on-premises or in the cloud. It is the foundation WiseTREND's Wise* plugins extend, and it suits complex documents and validation at scale.
- **ABBYY Vantage**: ABBYY Vantage is ABBYY's cloud-native, skills-based IDP platform, offering pre-trained document 'skills' and a low-code design experience for fast deployment. It complements FlexiCapture rather than replacing it.
- **ABBYY FineReader**: ABBYY FineReader is ABBYY's OCR and PDF product line — including FineReader PDF for desktops and FineReader Server for high-volume conversion — used to digitize, convert, and compare documents.
- **ADRT (Adaptive Document Recognition Technology)**: ADRT is ABBYY's technology for understanding a document's logical structure — headings, tables, and multi-page relationships — so extraction adapts to layout variation instead of relying on a rigid template.
- **Process intelligence (process & task mining)**: Process intelligence — including ABBYY Timeline — analyzes event logs and desktop activity to build a data-driven picture of how a business process actually runs, revealing where document automation will pay off most.
