India and South-East Asia are among the most attractive markets for ABBYY. The past 20 months of ABBYY’s presence on the Indian market have seen the company’s sales increase by almost 150%, putting India in second place in the region in terms of sales. ABBYY’s fastest growing business on the Indian subcontinent is forms processing and data capture. This success is largely due to the extensive marketing support from the Indian distributors and the Moscow office. This success resulted in many awards to FineReader from Indian magazines.

ABBYY FineReader was acknowledged the undisputed champion among OCR-systems by Indian magazine 'Digit'.

"ABBYY FineReader is the undisputed champion. The only software that could give it a run for its money was OmniPage. And the newspaper-clip test helped us decide between the two, since an OCR software that faithfully reproduces a newspaper clip in its entirety has to be the winner.
In terms of accuracy, OmniPage and FineReader are pretty close; but FineReader wins on sheer versatility and features".

TRS's sales and popularity in the region have been greatly boosted by trade shows, seminars for partners and clients, and massive advertising. At the Connect exhibition held in Chennai on September 18-20, TRS clients showed great interest in the company’s new products, ABBYY's OCR application FineReader 7.0 and forms processing solution FormReader 6.0 ICR.

“ABBYY works with one of the distributors in India - Netspider, which markets ABBYY products in the north and in the west of the country, and TRS, which covers the south and the east. We are very happy that thanks to our consolidated efforts our business in India has been growing at a record pace. We are not going to reduce our activity in the region and hope that this strong growth will continue,” said ABBYY’s Helen Pospelova.
