Key Features
OmniPage 16 eliminates the inefficiency of paper. Digital documents are easier to find, change, and share - increasing your responsiveness dramatically. You can significantly reduce the material costs associated with paper including storage and mailing. And don’t forget about the “hidden” cost of misplacing paper documents and the information they contain. The superior OCR and document formatting accuracy of OmniPage will save time and money by instantly converting documents into the format of your choice. Retyping is eliminated, tasks are automated, information is easily accessed and your productivity soars!
Accuracy
Accuracy is the single most important feature of an OCR program because greater accuracy translates directly into time savings. PC Magazine's independent lab tests have confirmed OmniPage to be the most accurate, and the only OCR product to successfully process all of their test documents. The newest version makes it easier than ever for you to re-use content from existing documents. A 27% increase in overall document accuracy translates directly into fewer word errors and less editing - resulting in greater processing efficiency and additional time-savings. With an accuracy level up to 50% greater than most alternatives, you’ll spend dramatically less time converting documents. Because electronic archive & retrieval efforts depend heavily on OCR accuracy - the more accurate the conversion, the more accurate the document retrieval. OmniPage’s increased accuracy helps reduce the time required for proofreading to a minimum, boosting your productivity while simultaneously making it easier to retrieve archived documents.
The Most Accurate Conversion in 119 Languages
OmniPage's sophisticated multi-engine voting capabilities deliver unprecedented accuracy at a level greater than 99% for 119 different languages.
Despeckle Module
We know enhancing difficult to read documents dramatically improves recognition. Our sophisticated despeckle module helps to reduce background noise allowing colored, shaded and previously unrecognizable documents to be converted with less human intervention.
Breakthrough PDF Conversion
OmniPage 16 helps you to easily re-purpose information trapped in PDF files by instantly converting them into editable word processing and spreadsheet documents complete with layout, text, graphics and tables. Our PDF Overlay Matching technology provides an accuracy level greater than other solutions for PDF normal and image/text conversion.
Formatting
What good is OCR if you need to spend additional time reformatting the results? This can be a very time consuming process especially if there are columns, tables or graphics involved. Because formatting is so crucial to automatically reconstructing the layout of a document we built superior page layout algorithms to ensure converted documents are as exact to the original as possible. OmniPage 16’s precise layout retention maintains the look and text flow of the original page. Whether you’ve got a single page from a book or a 1,000 page report, OmniPage can handle them with both speed and accuracy.
Flowing Page Output
Flowing page output offers a unique combination of page fidelity and editability that is truer to the original document than competitive OCR products. OmniPage ensures columns, tables, lists and graphics remain in place, while text flows naturally around these embedded objects.
Superior Character Matching
Font Matching, font-consolidation, size, bold, italics and color background matching accuracy helps cut editing time to a minimum. Matching the individual character attributes ensures your converted documents look as close to the original as possible.
Superior Page Analysis
Before recomposing the layout of a document, OCR software must first understand all of the objects on the page and their relationship to one another. OmniPage 16 offers improved detection of individual page objects, in particular tables. This feature ensures tables and spreadsheets, with or without gridlines, are formatted correctly.
Improved Superior Speed
Accomplish more work in less time. OmniPage 16’s improved hyper threading process allows you to power through OCR tasks 20% faster than before. This boost helps make OCR the fastest, most accurate time-saving way to automatically convert documents into more than 30 different formats.

PDF Capabilities for Paper and Digital Conversion
Ideal for both archiving and file sharing, PDFs are image perfect representations of the original document. In the last few years, PDF files have become the de-facto imaging file standard. OmniPage 16 supports the creation of searchable PDF files from any paper or electronic document. OmniPage also allows you to turn PDF files (even image-only files) directly into your favorite editable document format. These collective PDF capabilities enable easy document editing, archiving and sharing to save valuable time and money.
Overlay Matching
OmniPage is the first product to combine image OCR and text capture for superior results on all types of PDF files. PDF files (even image-only files) can be converted into many different formats with up to 100% accuracy. The ability to work with PDF files in an editable format saves countless hours of file re-creation time to let you focus on more important work.
PDF Output
Paper can be quickly converted into any number of searchable PDF formats helping you create space-efficient and easily retrievable digital archives. Because OmniPage’s OCR is the most accurate the retrieval process will be as well - a search can only be as accurate as the OCR that indexed the document.
Improved PDF-MRC
Create up to 8 times smaller scanned color PDF documents faster with improved PDF-MRC technology to reduce file sizes dramatically.
Automated Conversion
OCR Software saves time and money by replacing manual processes with automated ones. OmniPage 16 allows the execution of all processing tasks more quickly and with less manual intervention. OmniPage adapts to the way you work by transforming your most frequent multi-step document conversions into a single mouse click. Automation is taken a step further with the batch manager that can be set up to perform unattended processing and convert multiple batches of files without any user intervention whatsoever.
Email Notification
OmniPage can be configured so that it routes informational email notifications alerting you to the completion of key processing events or intervention requirements to optimize performance and system efficiency.
Batch Manager

The Batch Manager allows files or entire folders to be processed automatically. It can continually search folders, OCR all the contents and route the results to other pre-selected folders.
Editing and Proofing
Proofreading your converted documents ensures the highest accuracy possible. OmniPage 16's proofreader offers increased speed and flexibility to make the proofing process easier, faster and more intuitive than ever before.
IntelliTrain Proofing System
The IntelliTrain proofing system "learns" your editing style by recording your previous text corrections to generate better OCR results in each successive document. Our superior proofing algorithms result in better correction suggestions, handling of hyphenated words and fewer key strokes than competitive products.
Context Specific Correction
Confirming the accuracy of questionable words is much easier because suspect words are displayed within a wider context of the document's text to facilitate more accurate corrections.
Dynamic Verification
OmniPage’s proofreading mode provides a more dynamic view of the original document's text image so you do not have to second guess if your corrections are appropriate or not.
Individual Character Training
IntelliTrain proofing also allows specific individual characters or symbols to be learned thus ensuring better accuracy in subsequent document conversions.

Because OmniPage has advanced page segmentation capabilities, it is also a powerful way to re-use pictures, clip-art, graphics and charts within documents. Simply zone-over the area you want to extract, and OmniPage will let you save the content of that area in a wide range of image formats.
Image Format Conversion
Images of scanned documents contain a "picture" of the document, which can be viewed but not edited or searched. OmniPage converts static images into documents that can be edited and searched. Support for converting all popular image formats includes: TIF, JPG, BMP, PCX, GIF, PDF, MAX and more.

They deliver professional enhancement functionality with point & click ease, as well as capabilities that are particularly useful on Microsoft Tablet PC devices.
2 Page Scanning
Cut your scanning time in half by using OmniPage to separate and independently recognize each page from books, magazines and journals.
508 Compliance
The Americans with Disabilities act requires computer programs to be easily navigated by visually impaired users. This software effectively addresses their needs and is fully compliant with section 508.
Multithreading
OmniPage can be configured to execute multiple processes in parallel in order to decrease the total amount of time it takes to convert large documents. For example, the software can begin the OCR process while it is still capturing additional images through the scanner.
System Requirements
Note: Performance and speed will be enhanced if your computer's processor, memory, and available disk space exceed minimum requirements. This is especially true when converting very large color PDF files. OmniPage has been specifically engineered to take advantage of multi-core processors.
