Your scanner already knows how to read. Why not send it to college?

If you're reading this, there's a good chance that you already own a "limited edition" OCR program that was bundled with the scanner when you bought it. You've tried this "limited edition" and found it to be a good basic introduction to OCR, but now you're looking for something more full-featured. Something that will slice, dice, AND puree. Well, friend, you've found it! OCR as it was meant to be. OCR that is better than 99% accurate on really clean, sharp pages and does pretty darned good on faxes and old dirty photocopies and clippings that the dog has slobbered all over -- what we in the industry like to call "degraded" documents. OCR that recognizes not just text but layouts and fonts and more than a dozen different languages. OCR to love.

In addition, you are eligible for the OmniPage Pro 9.0 upgrade if you own any OCR software, including any OmniPage application or any OCR application bundled with scanners

OmniPage Pro will make your life easier. Well, that's nice, you say, just how's it going to do that? Wash the car for me? Walk the dog? As a matter of fact, we're working on including those features in future releases, but at the moment OmniPage Pro just does OCR. But, if you've got to get documents into your computer in editable form, there's no better way to do it. It sure beats retyping. Or trying to stuff those pages in through the CD-ROM drive opening.

Say for instance you've got a magazine article that you want to save. The article has multiple columns and a photo, as well as a sidebar article on the second page. Maybe you'd like to preserve the formatting and the look of the pages, plus be able to edit the photo and the text.

Wouldn't it be great if your OCR software could do all that and more? It would be like sending your scanner to college!

OmniPage Pro is chock full of features you won't find in any other OCR product. It's powerful and easy to use, and it can handle the toughest OCR challenges.

Imagine being able to:

• Perform OCR with virtually no mistakes. The OCR engine in new OmniPage Pro 9.0 is the most accurate in the world -- guaranteed better than 99% accurate with laser-quality documents using standard fonts. Major improvements in character recognition and format retention mean far better results with poor-quality documents, e-mail addresses and URLs, very small text, numeric text, and more.
• Maintain original formats on business letters, magazine articles, documents with graphics, and more. With OmniPage Pro's True Page® and improved format detection, you can retain your document's original formatting, including font styles and point sizes; bold, italics and underlines; graphics in black and white or color; text headings and indentations; tables and spreadsheets, and multiple column layouts.
• Scan and recognize the single vital paragraph in a whole page of otherwise superfluous text, saving you valuable time. Simply draw a zone around just the text you're interested in using, and OmniPage Pro will recognize that text and ignore the rest.
• Double check your work. OmniPage Pro's OCR Proofreader helps correct spelling problems, flags suspicious words and even suggests corrections. It works like a spell checker and lets you check OCR results next to the original image.

And much, much more!
