Product Overview: ABBYY Recognition Server 2.0

ABBYY Recognition Server consists of the following main components: the Server Manager, the Processing Station, the Verification Station, and the Remote Administration Console.

• Server Manager – The main component. It works as a Windows® service, manages licenses and all processing options, queues the files to be processed, distributes the files among the Processing Stations and the Verification Stations, and delivers the output documents after processing. It also coordinates the work of other components (Processing Stations and Verification Stations) and interacts with the Remote Administration Console. The Server Manager does not perform recognition — this task is performed by the Processing Stations.
• Processing Station – A Windows service that directly performs recognition. It processes files received from the Server Manager. Recognition Server allows you to connect several Processing Stations to one Server Manager in order to increase processing speed and maximize throughput. The Server Manager will distribute the workload among the CPUs of the Processing Stations evenly.
• Verification Station – A client station which allows you to proofread the recognition results. The Verification Station automatically receives the recognized pages that require verification from the Server Manager. It is possible to connect several Verification Stations to one Server Manager, in order to speed up the verification process.
• Remote Administration Console – A Microsoft® Management Console snap-in that provides a common administration interface for configuration and monitoring of Recognition Server. address).
