With ABBYY Document AI API, the Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) vendor introduces a new Optical Character Recognition (OCR) Application Programming Interface (API) that enables developers to enhance workflows with pre-trained models to extract data from documents and accelerate the automation of complex business processes.
ABBYY, an Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) vendor, announced on April 15, 2025, the launch of ABBYY Document AI API. With this, ABBYY provides developers with a reliable and consistent OCR tool to convert unstructured documents into structured and accurate data with just a few lines of code.
According to Amy Machado, Senior Research Manager, Enterprise Content and Knowledge Management Strategies at analyst firm IDC, “Developers struggle with extracting reliable data from documents and will often begin with general large language models for this process. However, they quickly face challenges with hallucinations, data inconsistencies, and errors in document processing, and often lack support for multiple languages, handwriting recognition and complex document structures.”
Nick Hyatt, VP of Engineering at ABBYY, explained: “As a vanguard of OCR, ABBYY has long had a vibrant community of cutting-edge developers creating transformational solutions with our advanced document AI. We are providing them a new API with minimal setup, access to ample community resources, and pre-trained models for building proof-of-concepts. ABBYY Document AI API is a major step forward for developing automated document workflows.”
Last month, ABBYY announced the opening of new AI Labs in the US, India and Hungary to accelerate the development of purpose-built AI for Intelligent Document Processing and process automation to maintain its leadership position in the intelligent process automation market.
Headquartered in Austin, Texas, ABBYY puts information to work with purpose-built AI. ABBYY Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) platform transforms data from any document, in any format or language, any time, into data that drives processes and decision-making.
