The bulk of my scanning/OCR involves academic articles and historical materials. For the most part I produce PDF files, although I also scan some tables to produce spreadsheets and do some scanning to Word files. Depending on the quality of the original and my precise purpose I may make a PDF with an image and hidden text, an OCR text file, or an OCR text file with images of uncertain words. I use an HP 7450 scanner connected to a Windows 2000 system with a 1.8 GHz P4 processor and 512 MB of RAM. For my purposes, OP12's outstanding feature is the quality of its grayscale and color scans. In fact, I even sometimes use it to produce images for processing by FR6. Generally speaking, the PDF image files produced by OP12 seem to run about 80% smaller than those that FR6 produces for equal text quality -- and better rendition of photos! This is not true for black-and-white (1 bit) files, where FR6 seems to have a slight edge. But when the material calls for image output I usually click on OP12. OCR is another story, for several reasons. First of all, when the going gets tough, OP12 quits in a huff. It will suddenly crash no warning whatever. This seems to be OCR-related, but if it happens while scanning the chances of recovering your already-scanned work are poor. For this reason, I always scan and recognize separately with OP12, since then the crashes usually do not corrupt the scanned images. Depending on the complexity of the material, I may get a crash anywhere from one in every 20 to one in 100 pages. Naturally, separate scanning and recognition slows the process down. On top of that, OP12 is very slow to start with, at least with "only" a 1.8GHz processor and 512 MB of RAM and all other applications closed. When I need fast results or cannot tolerate crashes I use FR6, which is distinctly faster and seems nearly bulletproof. Moreover, when accuracy of scanning counts, OP12 is next to useless for my purposes. That's because it is very weak on anything but straight text. Superscripts all look like quotation marks to it and subscripts all come out as commas. It is also very poor with any sort of special symbols or equations. Nor is there any way to correct these mistakes in the editing process -- you're forced to edit the PDFs with Adobe Acrobat, a very slow and laborious process. If you have material with as many superscripts, subscripts, and special symbols as the typical academic article, it is really faster to retype it than to try to do it with OP12. FR6, by contrast, gives reasonably good accuracy with such material and makes it easy to correct the mistakes that do crop up. In a surprising number of cases, OP12 will rotate the page so that the text is not upright and then proceed "recognize" it as garbage. FR6 is not immune to this, but does it significantly less often. FR6 is sometimes wrong but never in doubt -- it has never reported being unable to complete OCR of a page, no matter how complex. OP12 is easily confused, especially when the page mixes text and tables, and then insists that you manually zone the page before it will proceed. Both programs offer an "auto-special" completely automatic mode that will do a decent job on simple material (assuming that OP12 doesn't crash in the middle). When you need to customize settings, however, FR6 offers more range of choices. It also offers more flexibility in correcting recognition errors and in manual zoning, should that be necessary. Surprisingly for a version 12, OP12 has a great many glitches, bugs, oddities, and time-wasting annoyances that make it seem more like an early beta. About 20% of the PDFs it produces are unreadable -- it's important always to check. The early FineReader versions were extremely rough, but FR6 is a very stable and finished product. As I say, I don't regret the money I've spent on either of them. However, FR6 is more generally useful, faster, and trouble-free -- and significantly cheaper. If the maker of FR6, ABBYY, would fix their scanning (something I've suggested to them several times) it would clearly be the preferable program. As things are, OP12 fills some needs better.

FineReader doesn't have the text-to-voice of Omni, but I don't do any recognition of tables (where the feature is supposed to be valuable) anyway. FR's character recognition is superior, but the best feature is that it chooses a font size and kerning that really do an excellent job of reproducing the original (not choosing too-small font sizes with giant spaces, like Omni-10). Overall, beats Omni-10 -- which in turn beats everything else! ... Read more | |

Amazon.com Review Pages from books, magazines, and faxes are easily processed using the automated wizard. Process pages directly from your scanner or from one of six popular image file formats. You can even import text directly into a document that you are working on in Word or another application without opening OmniPage Pro. The application lets you choose whether you would like to save plain text, text with formatting, or text and images with formatting. The most visible improvements to this version fall under the page layout heading. For example, the OmniPage True Page output format provides a nearly perfect replicate of the printed page for easy export to desktop publishing software. There is also a new feature that can read recognized text out loud to aid in proofreading. The manufacturer claims that OmniPage can recognize text on almost any document, including poor photocopies or faxes with better than 99% accuracy. Our tests showed much poorer accuracy on photocopies, faxes, and color print outs, but the results were good enough to represent a significant timesavings over retyping documents. Other documents were handled remarkably well, including text and images scanned from a full color magazine. --Elizabeth Wall--This review refers to the full version Reviews (5)
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?
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.

Amazon.com Review The value of Streamline becomes apparent after the first conversion--it quickensthe heart to see a hand-drawn, bitmapped image imported into a program likeAdobe Illustrator, where one can tweak the curve and width of any line, andscale it up until it fills a billboard. The process starts with a drawing or image being scanned in or photographed witha digital camera and saved out from a program like Adobe Photoshop. It is thenopened in Streamline (it works with many file types, including native Photoshop)where the image is converted to vector lines. The options for conversion are numerous: control point density, smoothness, linewidth, stroke or fill, curve smoothing. Additionally, areas of the originalimage can be selectively converted, with each area using different conversionsettings--some for smoother, thicker lines, some for rougher, more edgy lines,and variations thereof. Also, Streamline 4.0 now features a "convert to"command, for converting a roughly drawn shape into a standard shape; forexample, a crude egg shape on a cocktail napkin could be converted to a perfectcircle, or four rough strokes into a smooth, even rectangle. Streamline 4.0 alsosupports converting colors to vector-based areas of color. One can specify thenumber of colors to use and which color palette would best match. Adobe-standard keyboard shortcuts improve one's efficiency with the application,and being able to drag and drop across applications is a handy feature thatanyone can grow to love. Freehand drawing on a computer is not as easy or straightforward as takingpencil to paper--a natural quality is lacking, a texture more felt than seen.But graphics software offers features not found in "real-life" art, like theability to scale an image up and down without losing the sharpness of a line.For any serious digital artist, this upgrade is a must-have. It is one of thosetools that is used the least, but appreciated the most. --Mike Caputo | |

Amazon.com Product Description The new page formatter in OmniPage Pro 11 allows you to maintain every aspect of your original document, including columns, tables, and typestyles. You can save documents in PDF format for archiving or sharing: both image and paper documents can be transformed into PDF files for searching, preservation, and cross-platform distribution. The new IntelliTrain feature takes note of the changes you make in the proofing process. It then goes on its own "search and destroy" mission to find any recurrence of similar errors and corrects them automatically. New despeckle enhancements allow you to take degraded documents like faxes and copies and recognize them with accuracy. And the ability to maintain text alignment and cell styles of spreadsheets and tables (even no-grid tables) means you won't have to worry about retyping or reformatting. You can also perform OCR functions directly from your favorite Microsoft programs for hassle-free OCR. The program works with Office 97, 2000, and XP. WYSIWYG HTML output means you can easily turn documents into Web pages. The program also now recognizes color backgrounds and color text. Reviews (4)
It imports Adobe Acrobat files, which is a major plus, and exports them into Microsoft Office format files - an even bigger plus. It will also turn a scanned document into an Acrobat PDF file. This does not supplant Adobe's Acrobat 5.0, though, because that product has capabilities that OmniPage doesn't have. See the Acrobat 5.0 product page on Amazon for more information. Another plus is the ability to scan a page, have it accurately converted and save it as an HTML file, complete with graphics, which can then be uploaded to your web site. It can also be used to create documentation on a CD ROM that can be read using a browser. The possibilities here are endless and adds considerably to the value of this upgrade. ScanSoft did a remarkable job with features and usability with this version. If you are using a qualifying product this upgrade is worth every penny. ... Read more | |

Amazon.com Product Description TextBridge Pro 11 features improved accuracy resulting from redesigned recognition engines, which saves proofreading time and makes users more productive. As always, direct OCR is a feature that allows users to move text directly into Microsoft Word and other word processing documents, but now, tables and graphics will be retained as if the document was processed in OmniPage Pro. The new WYSIWYG text editor is intuitive and easier to operate. In addition, color text and color backgrounds are now recognized, for accurate retention of color documents.Note: This is the 5-user version. | |
