Instantly Convert Paper and PDF Files into Editable Documents
OmniPage 15 is more than simply a paper-to-digital conversion tool. When you want to make paper digital, OmniPage 15 is up to the task with superior speed and accuracy. Powerful new OCR engines improve accuracy by 25% and dramatically reduce your proofreading time. Accurately recognize and format tables, punctuation and symbols to accelerate document conversion tasks. New improved output makes the editing process smoother than ever before with perfectly formatted output that properly flows from column-to-column and page-to-page. Our IntelliTrain proofing system "learns" your editing style by recording previous corrections to generate better OCR results in each successive document.
Share Information with Ease
Sharing paper documents online is now a breeze. Quickly convert information into electronic PDF files, HTML Web pages and email attachments to simplify the distribution of information. Audio Book Publishing allows you to transform both paper and electronic documents into natural-sounding audio files for playback or burning to a CD. Take documents with you wherever you go as .wav files for added portability and convenience.
NEW Tools!
Also included in this upgrade are the NEW Scanner Enhancement Technology (SET) tools which allow you to improve the quality of degraded documents. The recognition of copies, faxes, and other degraded documents is better than ever before. That means less time wasted, no rescans and great conversion results.
Convert Paper into Searchable PDF Archives
Paper can be quickly converted into any number of searchable, secure PDF formats that are space-efficient and easily retrievable on your PC. Because OmniPage 15 is the most accurate, the retrieval process will be as well. A search is only as accurate as the OCR that was used to index the document.
 The newly converted document retains its original formatting including text, tables, columns, headers and footers, bullets and graphics – so you can edit it just like working within the original application. View larger. |

4.0 out of 5 stars
Appears to be a significant improvement over OmniPage 14,
By Diego Banducci (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: ScanSoft OmniPage 15 [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)
I have just purchased this upgrade, so the following comments should be viewed as preliminary. Still, some information is better than none. Having used OmniPage since its beginning, I have been irritated by the company's practice of releasing software before it has driven the bugs out. That does not appear to be a problem in this case. The software loaded cleanly and came up and works properly. As one would expect after 15 shots at it, character recognition is generally excellent. The big advance is in speed of operation. Compared to ver. 14, this version flies, which will probably be the improvement of greatest interest to users. The interface remains non-user-friendly. New users will go crazy trying to figure out how to use it, but once you do, it's worth it.

Unstable, expensive support,
By
This review is from: ScanSoft OmniPage 15 [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)
I purchased this product two weeks ago to convert some PDF files to searchable format. When I could get the OCR to start it did a good job of converting the text. The interface was difficult to use, and in about 20% of the runs the application would hang before beginning the conversion. When I attempted to use set up batch scans the system crashed while I was configuring it in 100% of the runs.
I would have reported the problem to technical support, but the publisher charges per incident. To be fair they do offer to wave the charge for the first incident, but since the program crashed in the first five minutes of use it seemed like I would be contacting support more than once. I finally took advantage of the 30-day money back guarantee (I'd highly recommend checking that this applies if you're thinking about buying the program) and purchased Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0 instead.

Scansoft's Omnipage continues to disappoint...,
By
This review is from: ScanSoft OmniPage 15 [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)
As a computer scientist of 15+ years, I've seen my share of buggy code, frustrating application GUIs and useless technical support. But I must say that Scansoft's Omnipage far exceeds even the worst apps I've ever used (and I have used a lot). I'm able to crash the application in several ways- all repeatable. Some of the problems are more random but they all involve crashes or hangs that end up loosing whatever you were working on. I've submitted several of these bugs to their technical support- for which I have the pleasure of paying them $19.95 "per incident". Most of their responses involve "it works for me" or some type of unacceptable work around which no human being should ever have to subject themselves. They have yet to address the problem head on.
It's amazing to me that such a bad product has a significant market share - is this market too small to attract more competitors? It certainly doesn't seem like it would be very hard to provide a better product than this. The only free support they use to provide was a message board where customers could post problems and try to help each other. They now no longer let anyone register to post on these boards- probably because everyone was writing about how bad the product and company support are... I highly recommend you try any other package than this before going with Omnipage. This should only be a last resort- and then you must prepare yourself for the frustration, anger and disappointment. BTW- If you must use this product, avoid the "proof reader" tool at all costs. Many of the crashes and problems come from this tool (but not all). Good luck. Bryan Michael
