# Processing Stations

> Understand how ABBYY FlexiCapture Processing Stations handle automated tasks like OCR, conversion, and scripts, and how to tune and add them to scale up.

Processing Stations handle automated processing tasks, converting images to other formats, performing OCR (recognition), running user scripts, and so on. All of them are connected to the Processing Server that keeps track of their availability to assign tasks for parallel processing; one Station per computer.

To scale the System up, you need to:

* [Tune up the performance](/flexi-capture/performance-guide/pg-tune-up) of each processing station to perform processing faster
* [Add more processing stations](/flexi-capture/performance-guide/pg-calculate) until you achieve the target performance level
