2.0 out of 5 stars
Don't get fooled again!,
By lingvistika (Detroit, MI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: IRIS ReadIris Pro 11.0 (Mac) [Old Version] (CD-ROM)
I bought ReadIris 7 based on its price and on the claims made on the package. It was terrible. ReadIris promos and manuals claim the program gets smarter as you use it. That is undoubtedly true, but it starts out so stupid that you have a huge amount of work ahead of you just to get it functioning even close to the way it should. Frequently it expects you to go through an entire document with it and tell it which bitmaps represent which letter. This can be incredibly time consuming.
When ReadIris 11 came out, I figured that four versions later it probably does the things it says it does. It doesn't. I still had the same problem with it garbling large portions of a text image, so I wanted to see what it would do with a perfect text. I created a Word file, saved it as a PDF, and then saved the PDF as a JPEG. Since the text was perfect, ReadIris should have been able to process it perfectly. However, it still garbled about 10 percent of the text and expected me to go through the bitmaps again and tell it how to read things. ReadIris 11 is also very crash prone if your page contains graphics. The box and the manual say it can process these things well, but today it crashed five or six times trying to process a document that contained simple black-and-white graphics. It succeeded in processing it only after I went into a photo editing program and removed the graphics from the image. This crashing is a serious problem, because I have a brand-new Macintosh G5 with 1.5 GB of RAM. If it crashes so easily on my machine, what does it do in more modest computers? One odd but telling thing about ReadIris 11 is that the box and manual claim that it can perform certain tasks "perfectly". If a software company is so naive as not to know that, in the US market, claiming a product performs "perfectly" can lead to an expensive fraud suit, it should set off an alarm in the consumer's head. A far better Mac OCR program, which, sadly, is not sold as a standalone, is the OS X version of FineReader that was found on the utility disks that came with Epson all-in-one printers a year or two ago. In contrast to ReadIris, this program does perform almost perfectly, but you can't buy it in a box or as a download, unfortunately.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Now crippled for Leopard,
By
This review is from: IRIS ReadIris Pro 11.0 (Mac) [Old Version] (CD-ROM)
Unlike several of the other reviewers, I've been a happy user of ReadIRIS for several years. I'm a graduate student, so there are lots of times when I need to pull text out of pdfs from older journal articles. ReadIRIS wasn't perfect, but compared to the time it would take to do the same thing by hand, it was worth it. So when a new version was announced for Leopard, I decided to get a copy.
That will be the last copy I'll buy. The software appears to work fine, but the publisher has decided to treat paying customers like criminals. When you install the software it asks you to enter a serial number. Fair enough. However after entering the serial number you have to either call the publisher (during business hours of course) or go online and register to get a 'key'. The key is linked to the the machine you install it on. But don't get too comfortable - you can't write this down in case you need to reinstall or buy a new computer. If you do either, you're going to have to get a new key. Seems like a way to force personal information out of you so that you can support their marketing department. Given that, I'll wait until another company releases something. In the mean time, be ready to set up a new filter on your email program to get rid of their spam.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Translates text very well and never crashed,
By
This review is from: IRIS ReadIris Pro 11.0 (Mac) [Old Version] (CD-ROM)
I was quite surprised to read the other negative reviews for Readiris Pro software, as I have been using Readiris for over a year without any problem. Occassionaly, I have to teach the program what a few letters are (for example, near the bottom of a page), but I have never had to do that more than 3-4 times per page. All text translated very well, and reduced my typing to less than 10% what it was before the program. Alhtough it is not the best Mac software out there, it certainly does what it advertises. And the program is easy to use.
