Great Softwar - Buy The Upgrade
This package works extremely smoothly and accurately.The way it is priced is confusing however (more below). FineReader is not only easy to use and accurate, coping with curved lines of text coming from scanned book pages, recognizing tables, fonts and preserving layout of the scanned image, but it also organizes your work, saves images in batches, and keeps track of which image you have proofread, modified and saved.While you're proofreading you can see the part of the image about which there are questions.After the briefest of practice sessions I dove into a 700-page project and it went totally smoothly. The Abbyy website also offers you a fully functional free trial version that you can download. Great Softwar - Buy The Upgrade

I do a great deal of OCR in my research and have scanned thousands of pages each with OmniPage Pro 12 (OP12) and FineReader 6 (FR6). I have also made extensive use of previous versions of both programs. I am happy to have both, because they excel at different things. For my work, however, if I had to choose just one it would have to be FR6. Others might have different preferences depending on what they do and what their equipment and software are.

OmniPage Pro 11 is the fastest, easiest way to turn paper documents into digital files you can edit. It features superior accuracy and the ability to convert PDF files into Microsoft Office documents. OmniPage Pro 11 extends its recognition capabilities from 13 to 114 languages and from one to three alphabets, including Greek, Latin, and Cyrillic. This new version also handles grayscale and color images. It can use the extra pixel-depth information in grayscale images to internally generate black-and-white images for optimized OCR performance.Read more

Second best
I am something of an OCR fanatic because I depend a lot on being able to digitize research material for compact storage and easy access. I began some years ago with TextBridge and looked forward to seeing what Scansoft had done in melding the features of TextBridge and OmniPage. The result was a big disappointment. The ability to make PDFs in one step is a major improvement but they "lost" one the features that I find most important -- automatic separation of a scan of two pages at once from a book into separate scan pages. And the recognition accuracy and flexibility doesn't even come close to the standards set by ABBYY FineReader 5.0 (or even the earlier versions of FR!). Essential Document Management Tool
This is a must-have program is you scan documents or receive faxes on your PC.It takes optical scanning recognition (OCR) to a level I never thought possible, and is a quantum leap from the OCR software that comes bundled with most scanners.ScanSoft, the manufacturer, claims a 40% improvement and from my experience I will not dispute this.Read more

Great features but fatally flawed
I was very impressed with the quality OCR and the ease of use. However, I experienced frequent stability problems where the program refused to scan.When I spoke with Caere's technical support, they informed me that the program required 80% free system resources in Win 98.I found that I dropped below 80% when running only virus software, Outlook, Word and a few smaller programs.This rendered Omnipage of no use to me.Without this flaw I would have given it five stars. ...
