1.0 out of 5 stars Fool me once - shame on you, May 3, 2008

This review is from: Global Marketing Partners Readiris Pro 11 [Old Version] (CD-ROM)

The good: works like it is supposed too! scans to pdf image over text which is allowing me to shift towards a paperless workspace.

The bad: you need to request an CD key over the internet for every time you have to reinstall - hard disk crash - or reinstall because the default installation is incomplete - or re install for a second or third language - install for a second computer at home.

The ugly: Not only will they not send me a CD key - they won't even answer my emails! - The link in the customer service section for support in North America is dead - check it yourself - 404 - and the first email is "We are sorry to hear that you are having problems with our software - please send us your machine ID." - So you send them the information and you don't get a reply. Now I have been ripped for 100$!

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.

4.0 out of 5 stars Superb OCR but Registration Hassles, June 19, 2006

By 

Dr. Rite "TrueReview" (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Global Marketing Partners Readiris Pro 11 [Old Version] (CD-ROM)

This software seems brilliant - does a very accurate job of scanning and decoding. It could be improved by allowing for multiple page scans (without having to set a timer for page insert)It will defintely save you time. IT does not appear to have an page storage/filing system like some ocr programs but 5 Stars for its scanning and decoding.

Registration becomes a problem if you have to reinstall the software several times (I redo my computer frequently), it is not smart enough to know it is the same machine and forces you to contact technical support. MS Office will recognise its the same machine so its not a hassle.

If you are interested in document storage and filing on the computer then other ocr might be a better choice. If you want ACCURATE page scanning for modification and changes I would MOST HIGHLY recommend this software.

This review is from: Global Marketing Partners Readiris Pro 11 [Old Version] (CD-ROM)

I have been using Readiris 11 for about two and a half months on a project I work on about 4 to 6 hours a day. The project is to put a book I wrote about 25 years ago that was typewritten but never published onto a CD as a course. So it involves using Readiris to read the pages into Word where I edit the work. The Readiris wizard (without tinkering which was a disaster) and pages with dark ink work best. If the pages are light because of typewriter ribbon age, I must first darken them in Photoshop and then print them out for Readiris. I found that Readiris does a wonderful job and is worth every penny.
