Description

What this license is

SimpleIndex Professional, plus unattended server processing for up to 1 million pages per year, plus ABBYY FineReader OCR Server. It is the two products bought together as one license.

If you already own a SimpleIndex license, you want the Server Processing Add-on on its own instead.

Two groups of recognition engines, and you decide which reads what

Professional runs two groups of engines in a fixed order, and you assign which engine handles which case in the job settings.

The first group is SimpleOCR, Tesseract and ABBYY FineReader, running on the full page, on your own hardware, at no per-page cost whatever the volume. This group is the only one that reports where each word sits on the page, which is what makes a searchable PDF possible, so it runs on everything.

The second group is the cloud recognition services and the language models, handling what the first group cannot: fields whose position moves from document to document, and values that have to be understood rather than located. AWS Textract, Azure Document Intelligence and Google Document AI, plus Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and a custom option. These are used on the cases you assign them to, not on every page.

What the server half adds

SimpleIndex runs as a Windows service. It watches a folder and processes what arrives, or works to a schedule, hourly through monthly, or on a short repeating interval. Nobody has to be logged in, and several jobs can run under the service at once, each with its own folder or schedule.

This license includes ABBYY FineReader OCR Server, the server-licensed build of the FineReader engine, which performs recognition on unattended runs.

Running on cloud infrastructure

If you are deploying to AWS, Azure or another hosted platform, check the OCR engine before you build the job. The ABBYY FineReader client engine is not supported on cloud-hosted systems. Use FineReader OCR Server, Tesseract, or one of the cloud recognition services instead, all of which are included here.

Processing volume

Unattended processing is covered up to 1 million pages per year. More volume is bought in the same units, another million pages a year each. Work done by a person at the workstation is not metered. The cloud services and hosted language models are billed separately by their own provider, directly to you, for the pages you send them.

What this license does not do

It is not a document management system. No check-in and check-out, no retention policy, no permissions model, no approval routing. It feeds the system that does those things.
Unattended means files, not paper. A service with nobody present cannot feed a scanner. Documents have to arrive as files.
It is not zero configuration. Dynamic OCR across hundreds of vendor layouts takes a few sessions to tune, and we expect to be on the phone with you for some of that.
Poor originals stay poor. No engine here reads what the scan did not capture, and an unattended run has nobody there to notice. Build a review step for the documents that matter.
Cursive depends on the engine. Hand-printed characters in boxes read well. Flowing cursive reads only on the strongest engines, and never reliably enough to run at volume unattended.
It is Windows only. There is no macOS or Linux build.

Run a night’s work through it first

An evaluation license covers unattended processing, so the service can be tested against your own documents and your own folders before you commit. Download the trial.
