• ABBYY provides licences for historic font OCR only on a project base.

• The projects have a defined volume, so the price of the license is based on the number of pages that have to be processed.

• ABBYY Europe lowered the pricing for historic font OCR projects so that it is now suitable for mass digitalisation projects.

• In historic books and documents Gothic and “normal”/Antiqua fonts are mixed, and the new pricing allows to process mixed collections.
  Pre-sorting just to save costs for OCR not necessary.

• The prices for these licences are a one time payment.
• The licences allow you to process a defined volume of pages.
• There is no time restriction when to process the pages

For lager volumes of 50.000 pages or more - please contact the ABBYY for a project offer

License Features

• Total volume of pages with modern + old font support
  • Additionally 10% of the volume as “normal” OCR, so a 10.000 page Gothic/Fraktur license allows 1.000 additional “normal pages” ( more details...)

• The following stations for Recognition Server are included:
  • 1 Station for Scanning
  • 5 Indexing Stations
  • 5 Verification Stations
    not available yet, but included in the license key
    the new release with this Station can later be downloaded and re-installed on the machine, with the existing license.
  • All Stations can be started locally on one machine or distributed in the network, please see documentation for more details.

• The processing power is not limited, because the total volume is limited.

• XML Export and API is available

• Note: The licences sold online do not allow the usage of Recognition Server in virtual machines.
  Read why...

• If you are an organisation developing software or a Scan Service Provider and you want to test the ABBYY SDKs you have to contact ABBYY.

• To develop own applications or processing systems, a developer toolkit has to be purchased, the processing volume is then licensed in customised project licences.

• Further details can be found on the ABBYY SDK Portal:
