Precision OCR technology, advanced layout analysis, and powerful editing tools allow you to quickly turn paper and PDF files into editable electronic documents that look just like the original--complete with text, tables, and graphics. Robust new tools enable you to turn text documents into audio books and add digital signatures to your electronic documents. Save time and money like never before with the world's most powerful document conversion application.
- Repurpose paper rather than retyping
- Store paper documents as searchable electronic archives
- Share documents broadly and quickly via e-mail, the Web, or network

Benefits include:
- Save time, money, and energy with improved accuracy and formatting: less time spent "cleaning up" or proofing a scanned document; perfectly formatted output that flows properly makes the editing process fast and easy

- OmniPage is a true PDF solution allowing you to turn paper into searchable PDF archives and turn PDF files into your favorite editable document format

Layout Retention is poor at best, hard to use,
By
This review is from: Omnipage Pro 14 (CD-ROM)
This is not a planted review. I'm just a home user. I have been using OmniPage for years. The last version I used prior to OmniPage Pro 14 was OmniPage Pro 10.
This version does the worst job of layout retention I have seen in any OCR software period. Version 10, the version I was using prior to upgrading worked much better. Its hard to use, menus and features appear easy but in fact don't work very well at all. The system of "workflows" is flawed at best. If you just want to take a simple text document with images and scan it into say word be prepared for a nightmare once in word. The result of your scan will retain very little of the layout of your original document. ScanSoft makes some very fine products that I use. Oddly their "flayship" software OmniPage is difficult to use and performs poorly. Do yourself a favor and look at other OCR software before buying this.

Works great until you have a problem,
By Mike Davis "IT Manager" (www.beardsley.com) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Omnipage Pro 14 (CD-ROM)
OmniPage 14 worked great at first. Then I needed a patch to fix some problems I'm having with the Batch Manager. Their update function under help is broken. (Look at other recent posts by other users.) I tried calling yesterday ($20) and couldn't get through.
I'm well versed in fixing broken apps. After uninstalling/reinstalling, uninstalling/manually removing files and registry entries/reinstalling, I'm still having the same problems that are making it totally unusable. After searching Scansoft's website, and posting twice to their "user forums", I started looking for alternative solutions. I found more posts here than I did on Scansoft's site.

Updates Are Difficult -Tech Support Limited,
By Teacher "Bob" (Europe) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Omnipage Pro 14 (CD-ROM)
Three things your readers might want to know: 1) There is no free online technical support ($10 per report sent is available) 2) You have one free call to tech support (then it is $20) 3) Updating the software is not through downloads from the website. The website lists that an SP1 is available for Omnipage Pro 14, but it can only be accessed through the help/webupdate feature in the program. Unfortunately the webudate doesn't work and though I have reported the bug twice, I got no communication from Sansoft and no information in their online "knowledge base" on how to solve this problem. Since I am in Europe, I haven't called their tech support, and in fact I am more than irritated that such a complicated method of software updates exists. When other software companies offer auto updates through the program (such as Microsoft Windows, Office, etc.) they also let you download directly when the auto method doesn't work or isn't convenient. I think your readers need to know the mindset of Sansoft before they buy a product that may be expensive and inconvenient to maintain.
