Summary: Don't expect any help
Comment: Very Buggy software that needs some rewriting.
When you email problems the responses are either unreadagle of just useless. Nuance are the new owners and it looks like they are trying to milk a cash cow without feeding it.

Summary: Omnipage 15 Great
Comment: Omnipage 15 is the world's number one OCR program that is easy, and accurate to use. It is great to edit, scan and save documents. Another great feature is that Omnipage 15 recognizes 100 different languages.

Summary: Not as good as ABBYY Fine Reader . . .
Comment: I work in the Digital Library world and after testing both OmniPage Pro 15 and ABBYY Fine Reader 8.0 before embarking on OCR work-flows for a major digital repository, the results were by far better with ABBYY especially with faded or 'garbled' text from bad photocopies and other secondary sources. OmniPage is a better known product, but don't be fooled: ABBYY is the real deal. (they both claim 99% accuracy and most people say they are the same. . .after testing both, you find out that they are not even in the same league).
The only thing I can say about OmniPage is its interface is easier to work with and its automated workflows are a snap: but if your looking for consistent OCR--go with ABBYY.

Summary: Inconsistent results, expensive support
Comment: The product performs inconsistently. It failed miserably when it tried OCR on a page printed in comic sans, for instance, mistaking a's for g's, and @'s for a's, etc. In short it was worthless for scanning in something as simple as a list of names and email addresses.
It's "OK" when doing some fonts. And generally manages to figure out where the images are. The interface is supposed to be simple, but is counter-intuitive, and confusing to learn.
Scanners are "iffy" -- may work, may not, so make sure you test in the 30 day trial period.
Support? Forget unless you want to pay. Not even a single support call is included in the package.
I will NOT buy or upgrade with this company again unless they are willing to provide at least a minimum of a couple of support calls or emails.
I've had almost all the versions before this, and to be honest like this one less than what was before.
If you want to try it, buy from a source that will honor the 30-day money-back trial period. You may need it.

Summary: Easy to use
Comment: I read several reviews and was little hesitant to purchase this software. I have a basic Hp all in one printer and so far the software is wonderful and easy to use. I have really saved some time with this software.
