ABBYY FineReader 8.0 now includes ABBYY Hot Folder & Scheduling, a scheduling agent. ABBYY Hot Folder & Scheduling allows you to select a folder with images and set the time for processing images in this folder. For example, you can schedule your computer to recognize images overnight.
To set up a "hot" folder, you need to select image opening, recognition, and saving options, specify how often ABBYY FineReader should check the folder for new images (at regular intervals or only once), and set the start time.
