The “best” ABBYY alternative depends on what you use ABBYY for, but if you mean document capture/OCR and intelligent document processing, the top options are usually:
Best overall enterprise alternative
Rossum

Best for highly regulated / enterprise automation

Google Document AI

Best budget-friendly option
Tungsten Automation (formerly Kofax Capture/AutoStore in some contexts)
- Good for capture and workflow
- Often chosen as an ABBYY replacement in legacy environments
If your use case is mostly OCR
- Adobe Acrobat OCR for simple office workflows
- Tesseract if you want open-source OCR and can handle customization
Quick recommendation
- Invoices / AP automation: Rossum
- General enterprise document processing: Kofax or Azure AI Document Intelligence
- Custom developer-led extraction: Google Document AI or Azure AI Document Intelligence
- Open-source / low cost: Tesseract
If you tell me:
- your document types,
- whether you need OCR vs extraction vs workflow automation, and
- cloud vs on-prem preference,
I can give you a more precise “best ABBYY alternative” for your case.
