5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent product!, June 16, 2004

By A Customer

I was initially drawn to the product for two reasons: one, it runs natively on OS X, and two, with the rebate it was only $25. I've been using OmniPage running under Classic, and this is light-years better, in every way: ease of use, speed, recognition, you name it. I've thrown lots of different kinds of documents at it, and its done exceptionally well.

There are few companies that support OS X, so we're often stuck with second-class software, but not in this case! And given that there's really no other competition, you can't go wrong!

3.0 out of 5 stars Left me wanting., March 17, 2005

By	Zee "Zee" (Flowery Branch, GA USA) - See all my reviews

The product falls short of its marketing hype. The User interface is somewhat quirkey. Over all the product is satisfactory for my needs.

However, the tech support leaves a lot to be desired. Using the online trouble report screen gets you a sparse response that will require a follow up call to get an answer.

The biggest problem I have come accross is the fact that you can only use the program if you are an administrator in OS X. Since all users have access to the program this is a major short-coming and there is no work-around (according to tech support).

They do have a toll free phone number but it is not posted on their website. You will get it on the signature line of the technicians email response.

Overall a good product that has left me frustrated.

This product rocks. I scanned a 20 pages pamphlet with my scanner and Readiris converted all the pages into PDF in less than 30 seconds! It would have taken me the whole week-end to retype it! Hardly no mistakes! What baffles me is that it is the only UPDATED OCR software for MacOS! Highly recommended, you can't go wrong!
