Omnipage has been in the optical character recognition business for 20 years, and it shows not only in the quality and textual accuracy, but unfortunately, in the ancient and clunky design as well. Installing the software wasn’t easy. In fact, the reviewer noted that after being prompted to download an update prior to installation, an error message about a corrupt CAB file popped up. Once installed, things got a whole lot easier. When Omnipage runs for the first time, it will ask the user to choose between three views called Classic, Flexible, and QuickConvert. Testing for accuracy, the reviewer scanned a stack of invoices and automatically saved the results to PDF format. Omnipage got almost everything right, except for the large, decorative initial letter on logos which was misinterpreted as an image. The true strength of Omnipage lies under Flexible view, with definable Workflows or automated sequences of tasks that could be customized. This allows users to automate opening of files in a specific folder and perform different OCR tasks. However, less-automated tasks requiring a lot of interaction with the program were less impressive. The program has a habit of occasionally ignoring what you want it to do. Nonetheless, for those who work with highly complex documents and need automatic handling will find the Omnipage Pro 16 a great program.
