Product Features
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.
