Robert Logue <bobcat11@...>
Which works best with Jaws? Special on now for OmniPage Professional 18. Have been using ABBYY Sprint that came with my scanner but haven't tried there pro version yet.

My experience was that Omnipage 16 was most accessible, 17 a bit less but

still usable, 18 unusable and refund-worthy. Others' conclusions may vary.

Bob,

I haven't used Abbey, but I'm extremely happy with OmniPage 18. I found installation and registration difficult and had to call Nuance for assistance. As I write, I don't recall what the obstacle was. But once past that hurdle, all I have to do is highlight the PDF file, press the applications key and arrow down to OmniPage. I press enter, and I'm presented with a list of options, which include MS Word, WordPerfect, RTF, text, and so on. I press enter on my choice, and OmniPage proceeds to perform OCR. A new file is created in the chosen format. The results are better than anything I tried before, including earlier versions of OmniPage. But again, I haven't compared it to Abbey.

If you need a quick and reliable OCR service and want to test out how

ABBYY compares to another product, consider using ABBYY finereadder online. You simply upload your file to ABBYY online and your file will be converted for you. You have access to the same OCR recognition service that you would get with the desktop program but without having to install anything. The first 20 pages are free. 200 pages costs only $10. Brice

Thanks everyone for all the ideas. I did install the demo of the latest FineReader but don't find it all that intuitive to use. I mainly want to use it with my scanner. Can't figure how to intigrate it with the Plustek scanner utility yet so now must contact Plustek.

Now I know why people by OpenBook or Kurzweil 1000. I'm going to give the online version of FineReader a try. Wish Nuance had one too. Bob
