Improvements and new features

• Amazing 67% improvement in layout accuracy
• 34% more accurate character recognition for scanned raster images
• 20% more accurate recognition of Japanese characters

If you have previously worked with version 17, the upgrade will also give you the following benefits.

Selection of options on the start page
OmniPage displays a selection of frequently used options (open or scan documents, open OmniPage Projects) right from the start. You can convert from one format to another in a single step using pre-built workflows.

Receive scans and images from any device via e-mail
The "scan to e-mail" or "image to e-mail" functions are becoming increasingly popular for capturing and directly distributing documents from different devices. If you have Microsoft Outlook installed on your desktop, OmniPage can monitor your email inbox, open incoming document scans and convert them in one automatic step. It's the fastest and most productive way to capture and convert documents on the go.

PDFs more easily and accurately searchable than ever before - the eDiscovery Assistant
PDF files can be found everywhere today. However, origin and content can be very different. For example, they can contain scanned pages, embedded images and other information. However, many of these elements do not contain searchable text.
The innovative eDiscovery Searchable PDF Wizard converts single or multiple PDFs, even of different types, into fully searchable documents. This eliminates the need to open individual PDF files or OCR processes that can unintentionally delete important information.

OmniPage integrates natively with Evernote® and Dropbox. The included Nuance® Cloud Connector also gives you access to a range of cloud services, including Windows Live SkyDrive, GoogleDocs, Box.net and more.

The Nuance Cloud Connector integrates directly with Microsoft Windows to provide drag-and-drop access to cloud services. The Nuance Cloud Connector can be upgraded to the more feature-rich Gladinet Cloud Desktop Pro. This version also allows you to use cloud services for automatic backup and file synchronization.

• Better scans, higher accuracy - pre-processing improved
  The algorithms for removing image blemishes have been improved: different methods are available (normal, raster image, remove light and dark spots).
• Improve low-quality scans using the OmniPage Scan Editing Tools (SET™ Tools)
  Digitally photographed content (text, diagrams) can be visually prepared for better readability. Pages can be automatically cropped, special tools remove holes and clean up edges. This gives you a clean document that is free of shadows or marginal notes.
• Automatic speech recognition
  With fully automated processing, OmniPage can assign a specific language to each page. It selects from languages with Latin alphabet and dictionary support as well as Japanese, Korean and Chinese (traditional and simplified). When this feature is enabled, there is no need to select the language manually.
• Better handling of blank pages
  A new function for better recognition of empty pages also recognizes light gray or colored pages without content as empty. This has a positive effect on two functions: the new pre-processing option to omit empty pages and the already existing option "Create new file after each empty page".
• ISIS scanner
  Scanners supporting ISIS drivers can be used for direct scanning in OmniPage
