SUMITOMO ELECTRIC INDUSTRIES

The Japanese concern Sumitomo Electric Industries, that according to Fortune Global 500 is one of the ten greatest corporations in the world, licensed FineReader 3.0 to build in its own OCR for Japanese and English texts -- OKReader 4.0. OKReader 4.0 went for sale in the middle of November, 1997 and was highly appreciated by specialists already at the Windows NT Intranet Solution Expo exhibition in Tokyo and at the Business Solution Fair exhibition in Kansai.

"My team, engaged in developing and marketing of OCR products in Japanese language, has been looking for a high quality English OCR technology. After a thorough analysis we concluded that FineReader recognition technology is best among many famous competitor technologies. The technological advantages and collaborative mind of ABBYY persuaded my team to license the FineReader technology and include it in our own OCR system, OKREADER."
