ScanSoft OmniPage 16

OmniPage 16 is ScanSoft's industry-leading OCR software and converts paper and PDF files into PC applications. Its new features include:

• A 27% increase in overall document conversion accuracy over the previous release.
• Improved hyper-threading accounts for 20% of the all new speed increase in OmniPage Professional 16. And with the addition of new parallel processing algorithms, OmniPage Professional 16 becomes the world’s first OCR application specifically designed for a multi-core processor computer.
• 3DC Digital Camera Technology allows you to capture text from a book, magazine, presentation, or something like an outdoor sign that could never fit through your scanner. You can now use your digital camera and innovative new 3DC technology automatically adjusts for skew, waves and 3-D perspective.
• Supports Microsoft Office 2007 native formats.
• Supports Microsoft XPS format. OmniPage treats the XPS format much like PDF with the ability to scan to XPS and save as an image, a searchable image or text based XPS. You can even convert PDF to XPS or vice versa.
• Save additional time by working on multiple documents at once. OmniPage can now open, process, correct and save multiple documents simultaneously.
• The Quick Convert View converts documents in seconds - there’s no need to learn a lot of options and tools.
• You can create different customized views to perform certain tasks. OmniPage not only allows you to rearrange its windows, it lets you save as many layouts as you want so you can easily configure OmniPage to your liking.
• OmniPage is now optimized to recognize and convert legal documents that contain special formatting including headers, footers, line number, stamps, signatures and more.
