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.

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%.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
