Product Info Reviews

Description:

OmniPage Pro 8 is an OCR (optical character recognition) program, and its sole function is to import pictures of pages of text and convert these pictures of words into editable text. It works with virtually every scanner available, and it is so good at what it does it should be bundled with all of them.

Only a few years ago, OCR packages were terribly slow and horribly inaccurate. OmniPage Pro will shatter any preconceptions you may have had regarding an OCR package--it has extremely accurate recognition, and on a contemporary G3 Mac it flies.

Version 8 has some exciting improvements as well. The TruePage feature maintains the page layout and graphics of the original scanned document, columns and all, and translated documents can be exported to HTML format for use on the Web. A built-in proofreader not only checks the scanned image for errors, it displays the original scanned document for manual (visual) checking by comparison.

We could see that there might be diminishing need for a product like this, as many content producers are Web savvy from the start. But those who need it often have a lot of scanning to do. OmniPage Pro 8 can not only help tame that mountain of paperwork, but it'll also help you get it on the Web quickly. --Mike Caputo
