This microcourse introduces the two main document-processing approaches available in ABBYY FineReader Engine: FRDocument and Batch Processing. It explains how these approaches support different workflow requirements related to control, automation, throughput, scalability, and multicore processing.
The microcourse explores how sequential and parallel execution models behave in practice, how Batch Processing supports high-volume OCR workloads, and how multicore recognition techniques improve processing throughput for large document sets. It also explains when FRDocument workflows are more appropriate, when Batch Processing becomes beneficial, and how hybrid workflows combine the strengths of both approaches.
Through practical demonstrations and guided exercises, the microcourse shows how Batch Processing works in real FineReader Engine scenarios, helping developers evaluate processing performance, scalability, and workflow design choices using sequential and multicore processing approaches.
For learners who would like to dive deeper, the microcourse also includes an optional code walkthrough that explores how Batch Processing is implemented inside a real FineReader Engine sample project, including processing flow, configuration, and multicore execution logic.
Microcourse duration: 1 hour 30 minutes*
Access duration: 365 days
Please note that this microcourse is part of the larger ABBYY FineReader Engine learning plan: Getting Started with FineReader Engine.
The learning plan will be marked as complete, and a certificate will be automatically issued once all microcourses and the final survey have been completed.
*It's important to recognize that the time needed to complete this microcourse will vary among students. This is due to differences in educational backgrounds, learning styles, and personal motivations for taking ABBYY University courses. As a result, we can only provide a general estimate of the completion time.
Training Environment
This microcourse includes hands-on tasks that require a prepared Windows FineReader Engine environment. To complete the practical tasks successfully, students should use the required Windows training environment provided for the learning plan.
For instructions on obtaining the distribution kit, setting up the Windows environment, installing ABBYY FineReader Engine, and activating the license, please refer to the microcourse Install and Explore ABBYY FineReader Engine. That microcourse explains the required setup process before students begin working with Batch Processing samples, multicore recognition workflows, and hands-on processing tasks.
