ABBYY and Panasonic System Solutions Company of North America today announced a new agreement to include document-conversion software, ABBYY FineReader 12 Sprint for Panasonic, free in-the-box with the purchase of any Panasonic KV-S1015, KV-S1026, KV-S1027, or KV-S1057 desktop document scanner.

ABBYY FineReader for Microsoft Windows is a PDF-editing application with OCR (optical character recognition). It also provide tools to access and modify information locked in PDF documents and scans.

Users can operate their Panasonic desktop document scanner to not only scan documents, but also improve the overall quality of images taken with mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Scanning can be performed individually and merged into one file, or captured as a batch, including documents of mixed lengths and sizes. ABBYY FineReader supports 190 different recognition languages, including Japanese, Chinese, Korean and Arabic.

Dean Tang, executive vice president for Global Accounts at ABBYY, commented: “Panasonic and ABBYY have been working together for many years with the goal of customer convenience at the core of their collaboration. Now customers can enjoy faster and better ways to work with their Panasonic scanner using FineReader technology. It’s sophisticated yet easy to use. People will be impressed with what Panasonic is providing as a value to their high-quality scanning hardware,” said Dean Tang, Executive Vice President for Global Accounts at ABBYY.”
