ABBYY Software House

ABBYY is headquartered in Moscow, Russia. The company has offices in the USA (Fremont, California), Germany (Munich), the UK (Bishops Stortford) and Ukraine (Kiev). ABBYY's software products are noted for their high quality, efficiency and ease-of-use. They are sold worldwide through a network of more than 500 dealers. FineReader, the company's flagship Optical Character Recognition product, has won more than 100 awards (as of December 2004) and breezed through numerous tests conducted by the world's leading IT magazines. The development of a science-based software product such as an OCR application, requires deep scientific research. This research is an integral, fundamental part of the development process in ABBYY. And in 2002 the team of FineReader developers was marked with the prestigious Russian Government Prize for Science and Technology.
