What our customer's say!

"Stay away or petition Nuance to upgrade!", This is a product that Nuance has abandoned for many years. It is not fully Mac designed or friendly. They had to improve installing recently just so it work for being bundled with scanners as a SE. It is not feature parity with its Windows version. After talking with sales/support, I have gotten the impression from them they don't like or understand the Mac market. Don't buy it unless you're willing to fight for a refund. I had to some years ago. I do wish they would improve it so we Mac folks can do some serious OCR work. If you really want a Mac OCR, pound on them to make Omnipage X better, or go with ReadIris, which is OK but not as well done as Windows Omnipage 16. Oh if you are thinking of using a VM tool with Omni16, they wont let you due to how product activation is done. A shame, they could be making money instead of making buyers go elsewhere. But they own the OCR market and can afford to ignore the Mac world. Be warned.

"Still #1", I have been using this latest edition of Omnipage with my Mac OSX 3.9 without even reading the instructions. The last version I used was several years ago because I had received ReadIris with my scanner. I found ReadIris SO frustrating I just quit using it. It never worked accurately nor correctly for me -- and I had been spoiled previously with the ease of Omipage.

Recently I acquired this latest version of OmniPage and was able to immediately use it -- based on my experience several versions ago. It has run successfully for me and I find it to have improved accuracy in character recognition and enhanced capability for text layout.

For example, I had a complex pdf file, originally constructed in landscape orientation that I needed to OCR. I scanned it in in portrait orientation...and Omnipage recognized and automatically adjusted the orientation as it was loading the document. Amazing! It then correctly identified the zones of the 45 page document -- and accurately OCR'd them. Finally, when I captured the OCR text in a Word document, it formatted it correctly, just like the original document.

I can only imagine the capability that this program offers (if I read the instructions!)

"Don't waste your money", Doesn't seem to work under 10.3.
No patches from omnipage either.

"Doesn't satisfy this long-time user", I've used Omnipage for years, going through almost all the versions since the first. When an upgrade appeared it consistently offered incremental improvements and I rarely had to even glance at the user's manual.

Not so with this version. In some key respects it is not apparent how it works even after consulting the manual. There are many more errors in text and formatting. Saves don't even go smoothly. I would guess that something that formerly took me 45 minutes now takes me several hours, including corrections. And I still don't know why the text selection doesn't flow from one page to the next in a multi-page document, as it used to. This product should have been put in the "leave well enough along category."
