Accuracy
Accuracy is the single most important feature of an OCR program because greater accuracy translates directly into time savings. Electronic archive & retrieval efforts depend heavily on OCR accuracy - the more accurate the conversion, the more accurate the document retrieval. OmniPage 15's 25% increase in accuracy helps reduce the time required for proofreading to a minimum, boosting your level of productivity while simultaneously making it easier to retrieve your archived documents.
Enhanced The
Most Accurate Conversion in 119 Languages
ScanSoft's sophisticated multi-engine voting
capabilities deliver unprecedented accuracy in 119
different languages. The new release increases accuracy
up to 25% over the previous version, resulting in an
overall accuracy level greater than 99%.
Enhanced Legal
and Medical Recognition
Revised recognition dictionaries for legal and medical
terminology ensure the accurate conversion of important
industry specific terms for documents using this
language.
Despeckle Module
Enhancing difficult to read documents improves
recognition quality dramatically. The despeckle module
reduces background noise allowing colored, shaded and
previously unrecognizable documents to be converted with
ease.
Breakthrough PDF Conversion
OmniPage 15 helps you to easily re-purpose information
trapped in PDF files by instantly converting them into
editable word processing and spreadsheet documents
complete with layout, text, graphics and tables. Our PDF
Overlay Matching technology provides an accuracy level
80% greater than other solutions for PDF normal and
image/text conversion.
Formatting
When it comes to saving time and effort, formatting is almost as important as accuracy. Reconstructing the layout of a document can be a time consuming process especially if there are columns, tables or graphics involved. OmniPage 15 delivers precise layout retention to maintain the look and text flow of the original page. The result is minimized page reconstruction effort, saving you more time than ever before.
Enhanced Flowing
Page Output
Flowing page output offers a combination of page
fidelity and editability that is truer to the original.
A 25% improvement in accuracy ensures columns, tables,
lists and graphics remain in place, while text flows
naturally around these embedded objects.
New Superior
Character Matching
Matching the individual character attributes ensures
your converted documents look as close to the original
as possible. Font Matching, font-consolidation, size,
bold, italics and color background matching are all
improved to cut editing time to a minimum.
Superior Page Analysis
Before recomposing the layout of a document, the
software must first understand all of the objects on the
page and their relationship to one another. OmniPage 15
offers improved detection of individual page objects, in
particular tables. This feature ensures tables and
spreadsheets, with or without gridlines, are formatted
correctly.
PDF Capabilities for Paper and Digital Conversion
PDF files have become the de-facto imaging file standard. Ideal for both archiving and file sharing, PDFs are image perfect representations of the original document. OmniPage 15 supports the creation of searchable PDF files from any paper or electronic document. OmniPage also allows you to turn PDF files (even image-only files) directly into your favorite editable document format. These collective PDF capabilities enable easy document editing, archiving and sharing to save valuable time and money.
Overlay Matching
OmniPage is the first product to combine image OCR and
text capture for superior results on all types of PDF
files. PDF files (even image-only files) can be
converted into many different formats with up to 100%
accuracy. The ability to work with PDF files in an
editable format saves countless hours of file
re-creation time to let you focus on more important
work.
PDF Output
Paper can be quickly converted into any number of
searchable PDF formats helping you create
space-efficient and easily retrievable digital archives.
Because OmniPage's OCR is the most accurate the
retrieval process will be as well. A search can only be
as accurate as the OCR that indexed the document.
Automated Conversion
OCR Software saves time and money by replacing manual processes with automated ones. OmniPage 15 takes a great leap forward by allowing the execution of all processing tasks more quickly and with less intervention. OmniPage adapts to the way you work by transforming your most frequent multi-step document conversions into a single mouse click. Automation is taken a step further with the new batch manager that can be set up to perform unattended processing and convert multiple batches of files without any user intervention.
Email Notification
OmniPage can be configured so that it routes
informational email notifications alerting you to the
completion of key processing events or intervention
requirements to optimize performance and system
efficiency.
Batch Manager
Unattended batch processing of documents allows you to
concentrate on other tasks while OmniPage does the OCR
work for you. The Batch Manager allows files or entire
folders to be processed automatically. It can
continually search folders, OCR all the contents and
route the results to other pre-selected folders.
Editing and Proofing
Proofreading your converted documents ensures the highest accuracy possible. OmniPage 15's proofreader offers increased speed and flexibility to make the proofing process easier, faster and more intuitive than ever before.
Enhanced IntelliTrain Proofing System The IntelliTrain proofing system "learns" your editing style by recording your previous text corrections to generate better OCR results in each successive document. Improvements to the proofing algorithms result in better correction suggestions, handling of hyphenated words and fewer key strokes.
Context Specific Correction
Confirming the accuracy of questionable words is much
easier because suspect words are now shown within a
wider context of the document's text to facilitate more
accurate corrections.
Dynamic Verification
The proofreading mode provides a more dynamic view of
the original document's text image so you do not have to
second guess if your corrections are appropriate or not.
Individual Character Training
IntelliTrain proofing also allows specific individual
characters or symbols to be learned thus ensuring better
accuracy in subsequent document conversions.
RealSpeak™ Voice Readback
OmniPage not only recognizes your documents, it will
even read them back to you! The award winning RealSpeak
voice read-back technology enables you to proof by ear,
not just by eye. Great for professionals on-the-go or
those that have difficulty reading documents on a
computer screen.
Document Output
The ability to turn paper or PDF documents into your favorite program format is what makes OmniPage 15 so versatile. Whether you want to edit a document, create a searchable archive, share information on the Web, or integrate information into other applications, OmniPage allows you to make the conversion quickly and accurately.
WYSISYG HTML
WYSIWYG HTML allows you to turn documents directly into
Web pages with just a click of a button. Converted Web
pages will include graphics and pictures while
maintaining the precise look and feel of the original
document.
Speech Capabilities
As the world's leading provider of speech technology, Nuance realizes that text-to-speech functionality can greatly enhance productivity. This exciting feature allows you to work faster and leverage information as never before.
Audio Book Publishing
Take documents with you wherever you go with OmniPage's
Audio Book Publishing. Paper and electronic documents
can now be converted into natural sounding audio files
for playback or burning to CD. This .wav file output
allows any document to be converted into an audio book
for portability and convenience.
Advanced Productivity Features
Optimize time savings and productivity for your particular business needs. A host of adjustable controls allow you to transform documents with speed, formatting, and output styles that are specifically tailored to the way you work.
Concurrent File Saving
Now archiving and editing can co-exist in a single step.
Save to multiple file formats at the same time. For
example, you can save a searchable PDF file for your
archive, a Word document for editing and the original
image for verification simultaneously.
Resolution Control
Choose your desired resolution for saved images and for
images embedded in recognized pages.
Adjustable Speed Control
Customize recognition performance by selecting the speed
and accuracy settings that are optimized for your needs.
Enhanced Manual
Speed Zoning
Speed up the manual zoning process by viewing
auto-detect zones and double-clicking to select the one
you want.
OPD Files
OmniPage document files contain training files, user
dictionary and zone information to make follow-up OCR
sessions faster and easier than ever before.
Custom Converters
Create custom documents according to your business
standards. Document output can be tailored for specific
attributes so that each time documents are converted to
specific programs they have specific properties
pre-selected to minimize required completion work in the
target application.
Direct OCR
Save time by performing OCR from directly within your
favorite program. Use OmniPage to place fully formatted
text within Word, Excel and many other popular
word-processing programs without ever needing to launch
OmniPage.
Document Conversion
OmniPage 15 is not only a paper-to-digital conversion application; it also allows you unlock the information that is trapped in static image and PDF files. Using OmniPage you can convert almost all image formats into editable files for your existing PC applications, including Microsoft Word and Excel. Better still, OmniPage can be used to convert a document from one format to another (TIF to PDF for example,) and to make static image documents searchable on your PC and within content management applications.
Text, Tables and Graphics
Most people think of OCR as simply a way to extract text
and spreadsheet data from existing documents. Because
OmniPage has advanced page segmentation capabilities, it
is also a powerful way to re-use pictures, clip-art,
graphics and charts within documents. Simply zone-over
the area you want to extract, and OmniPage will let you
save the content of that area in a wide range of image
formats.
Image Format Conversion
Images of scanned documents contain a "picture" of the
document, which can be viewed but not edited or
searched. OmniPage converts static images into documents
that can be edited and searched. Support for converting
all popular image formats includes: TIF, JPG, BMP, PCX,
GIF, PDF, MAX and more.
Additional Features:
A host of other features allow OmniPage to work more efficiently saving you additional time and money.
New Scanner
Enhancement Technology (SET) Tools
SET tools are a robust collection of powerful image
correction and annotation capabilities, including
straighten, contrast adjustment, color conversion,
red-eye removal, sticky notes, highlighter, pointers,
handprint notes and stamps. They deliver professional
enhancement functionality with point & click ease, as
well as capabilities that are particularly useful on
Microsoft Tablet PC devices.
New Connection
to PaperPort
OmniPage now automatically links up to PaperPort if it
is installed so you can bring color images from
PaperPort directly into OmniPage to speed up your
processing workflow even more.
2 Page Scanning
Cut your scanning time in half by using OmniPage to
separate and independently recognize each page from
books, magazines and journals.
508 Compliance
The Americans with Disabilities act requires computer
programs to be easily navigated by visually impaired
users. This software effectively addresses their needs
and is fully compliant with section 508.
Multithreading
OmniPage can be configured to execute multiple processes
in parallel in order to decrease the total amount of
time it takes to convert large documents. For example,
the software can begin the OCR process while it is still
capturing additional images through the scanner.
