Key Features
Accuracy
Accuracy is the single most important feature of an OCR program because
greater accuracy translates directly into time savings. PC Magazine's
independent lab tests have confirmed OmniPage to be the most accurate,
and the only OCR product to successfully process all of their test
documents. The newest version makes it easier than ever for you to
re-use content from existing documents. A 27% increase in overall document
accuracy translates directly into fewer word errors and less editing
- resulting in greater processing efficiency and additional time-savings.
With an accuracy level up to 50% greater than most alternatives, you’ll
spend dramatically less time converting documents. Because electronic
archive & retrieval efforts depend heavily on OCR accuracy - the
more accurate the conversion, the more accurate the document retrieval.
OmniPage Professional’s increased accuracy helps reduce the time
required for proofreading to a minimum, boosting your productivity
while simultaneously making it easier to retrieve archived documents.
The Most Accurate Conversion in 119 Languages
OmniPage's sophisticated multi-engine voting capabilities deliver unprecedented
accuracy at a level greater than 99% for 119 different languages.
Financial, Legal and Medical Recognition
Recognition dictionaries for financial, legal and medical specialties
ensure the most accurate conversion of important industry specific
terms for documents that utilize this terminology.
Despeckle Module
We know enhancing difficult to read documents dramatically improves
recognition. Our sophisticated despeckle module helps to reduce background
noise allowing colored, shaded and previously unrecognizable documents
to be converted with less human intervention.
Breakthrough PDF Conversion
OmniPage Professional 16 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 greater than other solutions for PDF normal and image/text conversion.
Formatting
What good is OCR if you need to spend additional time reformatting
the results? This can be a very time consuming process especially if
there are columns, tables or graphics involved. Because formatting
is so crucial to automatically reconstructing the layout of a document
we built superior page layout algorithms to ensure converted documents
are as exact to the original as possible. OmniPage Professional 16’s
precise layout retention maintains the look and text flow of the original
page. Whether you’ve got a single page from a book or a 1,000
page report, OmniPage can handle them with both speed and accuracy.
Flowing Page Output
Flowing page output offers a unique combination of page fidelity and
editability that is truer to the original document than competitive
OCR products. OmniPage ensures columns, tables, lists and graphics
remain in place, while text flows naturally around these embedded objects.
Superior Character Matching
Font Matching, font-consolidation, size, bold, italics and color background
matching accuracy helps cut editing time to a minimum. Matching the
individual character attributes ensures your converted documents look
as close to the original as possible.
Superior Page Analysis
Before recomposing the layout of a document, OCR software must first
understand all of the objects on the page and their relationship to
one another. OmniPage Professional 16 offers improved detection of
individual page objects, in particular tables. This feature ensures
tables and spreadsheets, with or without gridlines, are formatted correctly.
Improved Superior Speed
Accomplish more work in less time. OmniPage Professional 16’s
improved hyper threading process allows you to power through OCR tasks
20% faster than before. This boost helps make OCR the fastest, most
accurate time-saving way to automatically convert documents into more
than 30 different formats.
New Multi-Core Parallel Processing
Using today’s popular dual-core and tomorrow’s multi-core
computer processors allow you to be even more productive with a dramatic
46%+ boost in speed for less wasted time waiting for OCR processing
to finish.
PDF Capabilities for Paper and Digital Conversion
Ideal for both archiving and file sharing, PDFs are image perfect representations
of the original document. In the last few years, PDF files have become
the de-facto imaging file standard. OmniPage Professional 16 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.
Improved PDF-MRC
Create up to 8 times smaller scanned color PDF documents faster with
improved PDF-MRC technology to reduce file sizes dramatically.
Automated Conversion
OCR Software saves time and money by replacing manual processes with
automated ones. OmniPage Professional 16 allows the execution of all
processing tasks more quickly and with less manual 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 batch manager that can be set up to perform
unattended processing and convert multiple batches of files without
any user intervention whatsoever.
Improved Workflow Assistant
If you spend time on repetitive OCR processing workflows, the Workflow
Assistant will help to automate your complex multi-step tasks into
a single electronic process that can be initiated by a simple press
of a button.
Improved File-It Assistant and Coversheets
There’s no need for everyone in your organization to learn how
to use OmniPage. Documents can be automatically converted and properly
filed by using a simple paper cover sheet that does all the work.
Custom Workflows
Custom workflows are designed to take you to the next level of productivity.
OmniPage tailors itself to the way you work when you distill your favorite
multi-step conversion processes into a single mouse click. For example,
you can set up a template to automatically recognize a 20 page PDF
file, convert it into a Word document, email it to a friend and save
a copy to your local hard-drive and exit the application with a single
click of the mouse.
Mailbox Watching (Outlook, Lotus Notes) in Batch Manager
OmniPage lets you use the Batch Manager to monitor your email mailbox
for incoming documents and automatically process them to save you additional
time.
Customizable email Notification Text
OmniPage allows you to send tailored email messages notifying people
when conversion jobs have completed.
Set Scanning Workflow Default from Scanner Pushbutton
Further automate the paper collection and conversion process by linking
an OmniPage scanning workflow directly to your device’s start
button to make the OCR process as easy as pressing a single button!
New MS Office SharePoint 2007 Link
New streamlined support for SharePoint has been added to make it easier
to export information from your desktop directly to this back office
information repository.
Instant Workflow Access
Once you've created your favorite workflows you will be able to access
them from outside OmniPage for improved ease-of-use and increased speed
with a single mouse click from the Windows® toolbar.
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 Professional 16's proofreader offers increased speed
and flexibility to make the proofing process easier, faster and more
intuitive than ever before.
New Automatic Redaction
Keep important information confidential by blacking out sensitive words
with automatic redaction. Save times, money, and greatly reduces the
chances of errors by redacting documents electronically instead of
by hand.
New Automatic Highlights and Strikethroughs
Electronic collaboration is now a breeze. Quickly locate information
with applied highlights or communicate an important revision with strikethrough
text just like marking up a paper document with a pen or pencil.
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. Our superior proofing algorithms
result in better correction suggestions, handling of hyphenated words
and fewer key strokes than competitive products.
Context Specific Correction
Confirming the accuracy of questionable words is much easier because
suspect words are displayed within a wider context of the document's
text to facilitate more accurate corrections.
Dynamic Verification
OmniPage’s 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.

Document 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.
Form Recognition and Export
OmniPage now uses Logical Form Recognition™ technology to process
forms. Bring both paper and electronic forms (distributed mainly as
PDF files in an office environment) into OmniPage, recognize them and
edit their content, layout or both - in True Page view and produce
a fillable form that can be saved in the following formats: PDF, RTF,
HTML or XSN (Microsoft Office InfoPath format).
Digital-to-Digital Document Conversion
A major new feature of OmniPage is that it can open not only image
files, but also documents created in word-processing and similar applications.
Supported file types include: .doc, .xls, .ppt, .rtf, .wpd and others.
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.

annotation capabilities, including straighten, contrast adjustment,
color conversion, red-eye removal, sticky notes, highlighter, pointers,
handprint notes and stamps. They deliver professional enhancement functionality

useful on Microsoft Tablet PC devices.
