IRIS ReadIris Pro 11.0

IRIS ReadIris Pro 11.0 is OCR software for both PCs and Macintosh computers that converts your paper documents and PDF files into editable text and Mac version 11 works with OS X Tiger.

• Readiris Pro perfectly reproduces texts, titles, capital letters, handprint, paragraphs, barcodes, columns, font types, font sizes, numbers, tables, graphics, etc. Get an editable document exactly identical to the original at a speed up to 1600 characters recognized per second with over 99% recognition rate.
• If Readiris is unsure about a reading result, the doubtful character (or character string) is displayed with its parent word and the proposed solution is presented if you agree with or correct the proposed solution. Readiris saves the solution in the dictionary as sure. Future recognition will no longer require your intervention.
• Equipped with the I.R.I.S. ICR (Intelligent Character Recognition) engine, Readiris Pro reads formatted handprinted capital letters (block letters), figures or symbols. Scan documents containing formatted manual notes and they will be promptly recognized.
• Readiris Pro automatically identifies the texts, tables and graphics on the scanned document and perfectly reproduces them in the output file. It's even possible to choose your preferred paper format.
• Readiris outputs tabular data to spreadsheets and word processors: tables get reconstructed cell by cell in worksheets and inserted as table objects in word processor files.
• Convert PDF to text: you can open image-based PDF documents, execute the recognition and save the OCR result to an editable text document (in any supported text format).
• Convert image PDF to text PDF: you can execute the recognition on image-based PDF files and save the OCR results as text-based PDF documents. (Text-based PDF files are searchable and editable, "image-only" PDF files are not.)
• Generate PDF files with text placed over the image and you'll obtain the perfect archiving format with a nice on screen legibility and an optimized file size.
• According to your editing needs, choose the appropriate output format amongst the tremendous list of applications and files. Send the recognized document directly to your favorite application (Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape, Corel WordPerfect, Sun StarOffice, etc.) or save it as an external file.
• The new Microsoft WordML format is now supported by Readiris. It allows you to generate text files offering a higher quality than RTF files.
• Readiris Pro reproduces not only the graphics in color but also colored text and colored backgrounds.
