Summary: Omnipage Pro 10 OCR
Review: Caere manufactures this. But they don't "care." I erased the copy I bought AND REGISTERED and they said "tough luck." So I bought version 10. It's no better than 9--maybe worse. Version 8 was as good. By the way, if you try to use somebody else's copy--and you don't register--they'll cut you off after 25 uses. Talk about "big brother." If you can find another brand, do it.

Summary: ORU limited versions
Review: I believe it is down right dishonest the way Caere and others ship, basically, a demo version. Mine stopped working after 25 uses. Heck, I had not even learned how to operate the thing.Anyhow, I found myself needing an OCR program, so I ordered it thru Amazon (Amazon shunted me off to another vendor - which I cannot remember.) After having the unit sent to me in July 2000, I learned that Ver 9 is obsolete. Why would Amazon allow obsolete software to be shipped?

Summary: Omnipage Pro 10 a poor performer
Review: I purchased this software in the hopes that it would be a major improvement over the ocr software that came with my Epson scanner. However, even though I think it is a better program, I am uncertain whether it was worth the price of the upgrade. Even though its documentation states that it is 99% accurate - my testing of the software shows that it is about 80% accurate. The software works well - however, the feature where you can have your document read back to you does not work as expected.

Review: I was very disappointed after trying this product. It was very slow, crashed a lot and was unacceptably innacurate in OCR. I truely believe that a fair typist could easily type a document faster than this software can do OCR. With all the editing one has to do after OCR this software is not recommended. I am using a Dell XPS T-500, 128 Meg RAM, 79% resources free, HP 5200C scanner and pasting into Word 2000.

Summary: I think OmniPage 10 is great!
Review: I'm not sure [people] had problems, but I installed OmniPage 10on my PIII-500 MhZ Clone machine with a 3 year old documan scanner, and it works like a charm! I scanned and OCR'd a 151 page document in about 10 hours (and it took this long because I was copying and pasting the text into a very old application)... and it was a photocopy! I would say it was about 98+% accurate. I saved SO much time that the [money] I spent on it was well worth it. The voice readback worked like a charm! (and my machine hasn't crashed 1 time while using it, and I've got A LOT of stuff on it). I must admit that I almost didn't buy it based on the prior reviews, but I took a leap and don't regret it one bit.
