freeTSA.org provides a free Time Stamp Authority. Adding a trusted timestamp to code or to an electronic signature provides a digital seal of data integrity and a trusted date and time of when the transaction took place.
$ openssl ts -query -data file.png -no_nonce -sha512 -cert -out file.tsq
Send the TimeStampRequest to freeTSA.org and receive a tsr (TimeStampResponse) file.
$ curl -H "Content-Type: application/timestamp-query" --data-binary '@file.tsq' https://freetsa.org/tsr > file.tsr
With the public Certificates you can verify the TimeStampRequest.
$ openssl ts -verify -in file.tsr -queryfile file.tsq -CAfile cacert.pem -untrusted tsa.crt

# How to make Timestamps of many files?
# To timestamp multiple files, create a text file with all their SHA-512 hashes and timestamp it.
# Alternatively, you may pack all the files to be timestamped in a zip/rar/img/tar, etc file and timestamp it.
# Generate a text file with all the hashes of the /var/log/ files

Most users miss this. In version 16, ABBYY introduced a neural network that learns from your corrections. If you scan a specific font that the engine misreads (like a quirky legal serif or a faded typewriter ribbon), you correct it once. The engine remembers.
By build 6564, this training module is lightning fast. It’s the difference between fighting the same error 100 times versus fixing it once and moving on.
Need to turn a 100-page financial report into an Excel spreadsheet? FineReader handles batch processing effortlessly. You can set up "Hot Folders" to automatically process documents arriving in a specific directory—a massive time-saver for repetitive tasks.
Q: Is ABBYY FineReader PDF 16.0.14.6564 compatible with Windows on ARM (Snapdragon)? A: Yes, the multilingual version runs under emulation on Windows 11 ARM devices, though native support is expected in version 17.
Q: Does "Multilingual" mean I can translate documents? A: No. Recognition is different from translation. It will read French text perfectly and convert it to editable French text. To translate it to English, you would need to export to Word and use DeepL or Google Translate.
Q: My build is 16.0.12.3400. Is it worth upgrading to .6564? A: If you process scanned forms or tables frequently, yes. The table detection algorithm in .6564 is significantly better at capturing multi-row headers. ABBYY FineReader PDF 16.0.14.6564 Multilingual....
