# Scenario Implementation

> Overview of common ABBYY FineReader Engine usage scenarios: data extraction, document conversion, document archiving, classification, comparison, barcode and field-level recognition, and more.

This section describes the most common scenarios in which ABBYY FineReader Engine may be used. Each article contains a detailed description of the scenario, implementation advice, and suggestions on optimizing the code for specific tasks.

Select the scenario appropriate for your task:

* [Data Extraction](/fine-reader/engine/guided-tour/basic-usage-scenarios-implementation/data-extraction)

  Suitable for extracting text, objects, and all useful data from the document and presenting it in a structured format.

* [Document Conversion](/fine-reader/engine/guided-tour/basic-usage-scenarios-implementation/document-conversion)

  Suitable for converting documents into an editable format.

* [Document Archiving](/fine-reader/engine/guided-tour/basic-usage-scenarios-implementation/document-archiving)

  Suitable for processing paper documents for electronic archives.

* [Text Extraction](/fine-reader/engine/guided-tour/basic-usage-scenarios-implementation/text-extraction)

  Suitable for extracting the entire document text, including areas other than the body text.

* [Field-Level Recognition](/fine-reader/engine/guided-tour/basic-usage-scenarios-implementation/field-level-recognition)

  Suitable for recognition of small text fragments to capture data from document fields.

* [Barcode Recognition](/fine-reader/engine/guided-tour/basic-usage-scenarios-implementation/barcode-recognition)

  Suitable for reading barcodes.

* [Business Card Recognition](/fine-reader/engine/guided-tour/basic-usage-scenarios-implementation/business-card-recognition)

  Suitable for converting business cards to electronic format.

* [Machine-Readable Zone Capture](/fine-reader/engine/guided-tour/basic-usage-scenarios-implementation/machine-readable-zone-capture)

  Suitable for extracting the data from a machine-readable zone and exporting it to electronic format.

* [Document Classification](/fine-reader/engine/guided-tour/basic-usage-scenarios-implementation/document-classification)

  Suitable for assigning documents to one of the user-defined categories with the help of a pretrained database.

* [Document Comparison](/fine-reader/engine/guided-tour/basic-usage-scenarios-implementation/document-comparison)

  Suitable for comparing documents or pages to find mistakes and intentionally made changes.

* [Scanning](/fine-reader/engine/guided-tour/basic-usage-scenarios-implementation/scanning) (Windows)

  Suitable for getting images from a scanner and their subsequent processing.
