OmniPage 18 Standard
Does more than you think — saves you more than you'll believe! OmniPage 18 uses optical character recognition (OCR) technology to transform data from scanned pages or image files into electronic files you can edit, search and share in the format of your choice. In just a few clicks you could be completing tasks that have previously taking hours.
One popular study estimates a single sheet of paper is copied 19 times while it’s in use. The same study estimates that this translates to a saving of $20 per document when comparing paper and electronic filing methods! So, if your organization’s documents are digital, you’ll eliminate the need to physically store, manage or transport them. You’ll dramatically reduce your costs associated with copying, printing and faxing too!
OmniPage unlocks the potential of the data in your documents. Once you’ve scanned a document or opened an image file — from any scanner — you can do limitless things with it; save it to the format of your choice; archive it to your network for universal access; extract the information automatically and repurpose it.

NEW! Most productive and accurate searchable PDF ever - eDiscovery Assistant for searchable PDF
PDF files are everywhere and can come from a variety of sources. They can include scanned pages, embedded images, and other types of information. Many of these elements don't include searchable text. The new eDiscovery Assistant for searchable PDF is a revolution in safely converting a single PDF or batches of PDFs of all types into completely searchable documents. Now you don't have to open PDF files one by one, or use an OCR process that might unintentionally wipe out valuable information.
NEW! Connect and convert in the Cloud
Download input files from web storage sites and return recognition results there. OmniPage provides native integration with Evernote and Dropbox. In addition, the included Nuance Cloud Connector application provides access to a number of cloud services including Microsfot Live SkyDrive, GoogleDocs, Box.net and many more. The added benefit of the Nuance Cloud Connector is its ability to integrate directly with Microsoft Windows providing easy drag-and-drop access directly to cloud services. The Nuance Cloud Connector is also upgradeable to a more feature rich version of the product called Gladinet Cloud Desktop Pro. This enhanced version adds additional functionality for using cloud services for automatic backup and file synchronization.

NEW! Automatic language detection
Let the program assign a single language to each incoming page during unattended processing. It chooses from the languages with dictionary support that use a latin-based alphabet (so Russian and Greek are excluded) plus Japanese, Korean and Chinese (Traditional and Simplified). When this feature is enabled, no manual language selection is necessary.
NEW! Better control over determining blank pages
A new sensitivity setting increases the accuracy of recognizing blank pages that may scan as light gray or colored pages by allowing the threshold for blankness to be adjusted. This improves the use of two controls: the new pre-processing option ‘Drop blank pages' and the existing saving option 'Create a new file at each blank page'.
NEW! ISIS scanners
Scanners that support ISIS drivers can be used to scan directly into OmniPage.
