Moscow, Russia -- ABBYY®, a leading provider of document recognition, data capture and linguistic technologies and services, together with Al Hosani Computer LLC, ABBYY software distributor in the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia, will participate in GITEX Technology Week, one of the largest and most important ICT events in Middle East and around the globe. The exhibition will be held on October 14-18, 2012 at its usual place - Dubai World Trade Centre, Dubai, UAE.

Since the official launch of ABBYY FineReader 11 with Arabic language recognition at GITEX Technology Week last year, the technology has proved to be in high demand. ABBYY got a very positive feedback along with winning several big tenders and signing large contracts in such business spheres as Government, BPO and Logistics, in which, for instance, ABBYY in cooperation with partners successfully fulfilled projects of processing invoices and other documents. Now ABBYY realizes the solutions with even better, advanced Arabic recognition technologies.

"ABBYY's OCR technologies supporting Arabic Language turned to be long-awaited and needed. Shortly after the launch we felt an acute need for embedding recognition of the Arabic language into other key product lines. Seeing high demand for a high quality Arabic OCR, we've enhanced the technology and added it into other key products - ABBYY Recognition Server for scalable document processing and management, ABBYY FineReader SDK for developers," said Anna Muzurova, International Marcom Director, ABBYY 3A. "Today we are already implementing a number of projects together with our partners in the Middle East, many of which are in Logistics sphere. We are sure that the industry will appreciate the broadening of the solutions line with Arabic OCR."
