Introduction to
OmniPage Pro
You probably use your computer for most business correspondence and
other written projects. The problem is that certain sources of information
cannot be immediately used on a computer.
For example, if you want to incorporate information from a magazine
article into a document in your word processor, you somehow have to
get the text from the article into your computer. Painstakingly retyping
the article is not an appealing solution.
OmniPage Pro offers a smart solution to increase your work
productivity. OmniPage Pro’s
optical character recognition (OCR)
technology accurately and easily converts scanned paper documents
and image files into editable text for use in your favorite computer
applications. OmniPage Pro does the retyping for you.
